The world contains all kinds of energy that translates into information about what we see‚ hear‚ smell‚ touch and taste. A sensory system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing specific sensory information. The components of a sensory system include sensory receptors‚ neural pathways‚ and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception. To begin‚ energy from the environment stimulates the receptor cells in whichever sense organ is being used. If this information were auditory

The limbic system is a neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. Three structures that are part of the limbic system are the hypothalamus‚ hippocampus‚ and the amygdala. These three structures work together as a whole making it feasible for the body to function properly. The hypothalamus is a small‚ but busiest part of the brain located just below the thalamus and is mainly concerned with homeostasis. It is an important link in the command chain governing bodily maintenance
