the brain. The stimuli could also be toxic chemicals, intense light, sound, pressure or temperature. These receptors are the sensitive dendritic ends or end organs of sensory neurons. When a receptor potential achieves a certain threshold, it triggers an action potential in the sensory neuron 's axon. These signals then travel by sensory neuron pathways through electrical or chemical means in the spinal cord neurons, then through the interneurons of the spinal cord all the way to the brain. Here…
