Summary Introduction

To explain:

The definition of sensory adaptation.

Introduction:

The sensory adaptation is the ability of body to withstand and tolerate the stimulus generation in brain. The brain receives a lot of impulses through receptors present inside the body. The signal impulse gets transferred to the brain in the form of continuous waves of polarization and depolarization. The body develops an ability to withstand the action of the continuous waves of impulses inside the neurons. This is called as sensory adaptation.
