3. Vision Process 1) Light passes through pupil#3 #2 #1
1) Light passes through pupil
2) Lens focuses light onto retina
3) Photoreceptors of the retina create impulses
Impulse travels up optic nerve to brain

5. Ear Anatomy Pinna Outer ear Eardrum
Amplifies sound by 3 bones: malleus, incus, stapes
Cochlea
Contains mechanoreceptors (measures pressure)

6. Sound Transmission
1) Sound waves (vibration of the air) enters the ear canal
2) Eardrum & the small bones vibrate
3) Fluid in the cochlea vibrates
4) Hair cells in the cochlea bend
5) Impulse transmitted through the auditory nerve and to the brain

8. Smell & Taste Nose Tongue Scent chemicals dissolve in mucus
Impulse travels from olfactory nerve to brain
Tongue
Chemicals dissolve in saliva
Chemoreceptors in taste buds creates impulse

10. Touch, Temperature, Pain
Mechanoreceptors in skin sense pressure
Upper layer: gentle touches
Lower layer: heavy pressure
Thermoreceptors & Pain receptors detect temps and chemicals released by damaged cells
Impulses sent to brain
