The<unk>  is a property of a sensory receptor that determines the type of energy to which a sensory receptor responds with the initiation of sensory transduction. Sensory receptor are specialized to respond to certain types of stimuli. The<unk>  is the amount and type of energy required to stimulate a specific sensory organ. Many of the sensory stimuli are categorized by the mechanics by which they are able to function and their purpose. Sensory receptors that are present within the body typically are made to respond to a single<unk> . Sensory receptors are present all throughout the body, and they take a certain amount of a<unk>  to trigger these receptors. The use of these sensory receptors allows the brain to interpret the signals to the body which allow a person to respond to the<unk>  if the<unk>  reaches a minimum threshold to signal the brain. The sensory receptors will activate the sensory transduction system which will in turn send an electrical or chemical<unk>  to a cell, and the cell will then respond with electrical signals to the brain which were produced from action potentials. The minuscule signals, which result from the stimuli, enter the cells must be amplified and turned into an sufficient signal that will be sent to the brain. A sensory receptor's<unk>  is determined by the signal transduction mechanisms and ion channels incorporated in the sensory receptor's plasma membrane.<unk>  are often used in relation with sensory thresholds and absolute thresholds to describe the smallest amount of a<unk>  needed to activate a feeling within the sensory organ.
