Sensory Receptors
Respond to temperature changes
Electromagnetic (Thermoreceptor)
Organ/body part that is photoreceptors.
Eye (rods and cones)
Specialized cells that detect environmental changes and convert them into electrical signals for the nervous system to process.
Sensory Receptors
Receptors that respond to bad odors.
Chemoreceptors (Olfactory receptors)
When an organism takes in information which is transmitted along nerve cells to the brain.
Input
Respond to light.
Photoreceptors which are Electromagnetic.
Organs/Body Parts that are mechanoreceptors.
Skin, muscles and joints.
A nerve cell specialized for transmitting fast electrochemical signals.
Neuron
Receptors that responds to flavors.
Chemoreceptors (Gustatory receptors)
Light or heat that enter the body is what type of input?
Electromagnetic input
Respond to chemicals in taste and smell and in internal changes.
Chemoreceptors
Organs/Body Parts that are chemoreceptors responsible for tasting.
Mouth (tongue)
The nervous system responsible for transmitting
signals.
peripheral
Part of the eye that allow us to see color.
Cones
Signals that enter the body through physical touch or vibration.
Mechanical input
Respond to physical forces in touch, hearing, and pressure.
Mechanoreceptors
Organs/Body Parts that are chemoreceptors responsible for smelling.
Nose
An action or condition that provokes a response
Stimulus
Part of the eye that is activated by light.
Rods
Tasting something on your tongue is what kind of input, chemoreceptors, thermoreceptor, or mechanoreceptor?
Chemical.
Respond to the body positions of skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Proprioceptors
What are the 5 sense organs in the human body?
Skin, eyes, ears, tongue, and nose.
The organ that serves as the primary control center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.
Brain
A decreased or limited ability to see colors. Can be caused by the lack of development of some cones. Can also be caused by damage to the eye, the optic nerve, or the brain.
Color Blindness
Which organ does the input collected by the sensory receptors go to be processed?
Brain
