Question 1 of 5
When a person cuts a finger, nerve impulses travel to the spinal cord along afferent peripheral nerve fibers. What is this process?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Transmission. In this scenario, nerve impulses traveling to the spinal cord along afferent peripheral nerve fibers represent the physical process of transmitting sensory information to the central nervous system for further processing. Perception (
A) involves the interpretation of sensory information, transduction (
B) refers to the conversion of physical stimuli into electrical signals, and modulation (
C) involves the regulation of nerve signal intensity.
Therefore, transmission (
D) best describes the specific process of nerve impulses traveling from the finger to the spinal cord.
