In the context of sensation and perception, specialized cells that detect stimulus information and transmit it to afferent nerves and the brain are called

Answer;

Sensory receptors

Sensory receptors are pecialized cells that detect stimulus information and transmit it to sensory (afferent) nerves and the brain.

Explanation;

A sensory receptor is a structure that reacts to a physical stimulus in the environment, whether internal or external. It is a sensory nerve ending that receives information and conducts a process of generating nerve impulses to be transmitted to the brain for interpretation and perception.

-Sensory receptors vary in classifications but generally initiate the same process of registering stimuli and creating nerve signals.

The answer is Sensory receptors.

A sensory receptor is a sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism. The sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.
