Sensory receptors communicate a stimulus to the brain by converting the stimulus into electrical signals. These electrical signals are generated by the sensory receptor cells, which are specialized cells that can detect specific types of stimuli such as pressure, temperature, light, or sound. When the sensory receptor cells detect a stimulus, they generate an electrical signal called an action potential. This electrical signal is then transmitted to the brain through neurons. The action potential travels along the sensory neurons, which are specialized cells that can transmit electrical signals. The sensory neurons transmit the electrical signals to the brain through a network of interconnected neurons, forming neural pathways. Once the electrical signals reach the brain, they are interpreted and processed, allowing us to perceive and recognize the stimulus.
