1. The Senses

2. etc collect stimuli, but your brain interprets the
TRUE OR FALSE: You hear with your ears, taste with your tongue, and see with your eyes.
False
Your ears, eyes, tongue
etc collect stimuli, but
your brain interprets the
Stimuli.

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

4. 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

7. Sense: Sight Eye Anatomy
Cornea
Protective layer of the eye
Iris
Colored part of the eye
Contains muscles to open & close the pupil
Pupil
Size adjusts with light
Small: more light present
Large: less light present
Lens
Focuses light onto the retina
Retina
Back of the eye
Contains photoreceptors
Rods- detect absence of light (b & w)
Cones- detect color
Optic Nerve
Sends impulses to brain
Sense: Sight Eye Anatomy

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

9. The shape of the cornea can change where the light gets focused… that’s what causes near or far sightedness

12. Sense: 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

13. Sense: Touch (Temperature, Pain, Pressure)
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
