Question

How do the concepts of sensations, transduction, and preceptions relate to walking a dog?

Answer 1

Walking a dog, we have control over the dog. The dog will walk his own way but the directions are controlled by pulling it's rope rigged to the net.

The dogs walk by our instructions that they they receive by many ways. Initially the dog have to receive the instruction and then the dog should sense it. Here the pathway starts. When we command the dog to turn right we will pull the dog's rope to the right . Now the dog will sense that pulling of rope to the right and his neck muscles will recieve the sensation and thus is turned to a stimuli. Then this signal has to reach the brain. The path from the neck muscles to the brain will depend on the transduction. The transduction is the way by which the the sensasory stimuli is converted to the electrical signals which is going to reach the brain centres for sensation. Perception is the reaction of an individual to the sensation. So on the case of this example the brain sends signals to the limbs of the dog to turn right so that the dog moves as such. So this is the way how the dog reacts to the owner while walking. The same way is the dog reacts to the audible command of the owner while walking. Initially ear sense the sound waves,then converted to the electrical signal and the brain send message according to the sensation.
