Vestibular/Auditory
What part of the ear is responsible for transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear, and plays a key role in hearing?
What is the middle ear, or ossicles, including the malleus, incus, and stapes.
What receptors of the skin receive deep and light touch?
What are Meissner’s cells-dermis layer?
Name this structure: found within the retina, and its function is to sense color. This structure is also important for visual acuity & brightness.
What are cones?
What structure within muscle tendons provides information about weight and force?
What are golgi tendon organs?
What is the role of interoception?
What is sensing the physiological conditions of the body, such as internal sensations like hunger, satiety, and thirst?
A child feeling dizzy after spinning in circles is experiencing overstimulation of which system?
What is Vestibular system?
This sense helps children distinguish between hot and cold temperatures.
What is Temperature discrimination?

What provides input to joint position and movement through the midrange of movement?
What are muscle spindles?
What part of the brain is considered a sensory relay station to collect and redistribute the sensory signals?
What is the thalamus?
Where is the vestibular system processed and what does it consist of?
What are the Inner ear: Semicircular canals, the utricle, and saccule?
Pacinian corpuscles receptors, found in the subcutaneous layer of skin, are responsible for discriminating what type of tactile input?
What is pressure and vibration?
Images received from the retina are processed in this area of the brain.
What is the visual cortex?
Information from this sensory system helps children dress themselves by sensing the position of their body parts.
What is proprioception?
This ability allows children to recognize when they need to take a break or adjust their behavior based on their physical and emotional needs.
What is ability to monitor self?
Name the steps in how sounds are processed within the auditory system (ears specifically).

What is the fight or flight response?
This cognitive component of vision allows the person to pay attention to the salient stimuli.
What is selective attention?
What provides proprioception at the end of range of movement as limit detectors?
What are joint receptors?
Where are the receptors for interoception located?
What is within internal organs?
