Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the key terms related to the nervous system communication process. 'Adaptation' refers to the process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to constant stimuli over time.
Step 2: 'Sensation' is the process of detecting physical stimuli from the environment through sensory organs.
Step 3: 'Perception' involves interpreting and organizing sensory information to make it meaningful.
Step 4: 'Transmission' is the process by which a message (nerve impulse) is conveyed from one neuron to another or from sensory receptors to the brain.
