The energy transduced at the receptor is received by the sensory nerve on to the thalamus‚ then to the brain for the corresponding response. 5 Senses: 1. Vision 2. Hearing 3. Smell 4. Taste 5.

something that has caused controversy among many scholars. On one hand is the idea of Empiricism while on the other hand is the idea of Rationalism.

Sense organs absorb energy from a physical stimulus from the environment and the sensory receptors present in the sense organs convert this energy into neural impulses and gets carried to the brain for processing. We should take care of them by keeping them clean‚ by keeping them from harm and by eating the right food. However‚ many habits

recognized and appreciated. Some tastes—such as salty‚ bitter‚ sweet‚ and sour—can be recognized without the sense of smell. However‚ more complex flavors require both taste and smell sensations to be recognized. Different stimuli activate different sensory receptors. Chemical stimuli activate the chemoreceptors responsible for gustatory and olfactory perceptions. Because taste and smell are both reactions to the chemical makeup of solutions‚ the two senses are closely related. Taste is a chemical

Spatial disorientation is caused when the visual system‚ the vestibular system‚ and the somatosensory system‚ the three sensory systems which provide individuals with the information to maintain their equilibrium‚ supply conflicting information to the brain. This conflicting information in turn‚ will provide pilots with an inaccurate mental image of his position in relation

The different categories identified by creators of the questionnaire are sensory modalities that people use to learn (Fleming & Mills‚ 2011). The quiz is 16 simple questions that break down the learning style into the four categories. Some may find that they score the same or overlap in several of the categories making them
