Sensory Adaptation: A phenomenon in which receptor cells lose their power to respond after a period of unchanged stimulation; allows a more rapid reaction to new sources of information.
感覺適應:受體細胞在一段時間接收不變的刺激後失去反應能力的現象;允許對新的信息來源作出更快速的反應。
Sensory Neuron: Neuron that carries messages from sense receptors toward the central nervous system.
感覺神經元:從感覺受體向中樞神經系統傳遞信息的神經元。
Sensory Receptor: Specialized cell that converts physical signals into cellular signals that are processed by the nervous system.
感覺感受器:由神經系統處理的,將身體信號轉化爲細胞信號的特殊細胞。
