10. Option B is correct. Baroreceptors are sensory receptors which monitor changes in blood pressure in the walls of major blood vessels.
11. Option E is correct. The term generals senses refers to sensation of temperature, pain, touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception. Thus, option E is correct.
12. Sensory transduction is defined as the conversion of sensory stimulus (like sound, light etc) from one form to another. For example auditory transduction process involves translation of sounds from when it enters the ear to when it reaches the neural impulses inside the ear. Transduction in the nervous system refers to stimulus alerting events where a physical stimulus is converted into an action potential, which is propagated along axons towards the central nervous system where it is integrated.
13. Receptor potential or generator potential is a type of graded potential (transmembrane potential difference) which is produced when activation of a sensory receptor occurs. Often, a receptor potential is produced by sensory transduction. It is usually a depolarizing event which results from inward flow of current. The inward flow of current often brings the membrane potential of the sensory receptor towards the threshold for triggering an action potential.
