Sensory Receptors
Respond to temperature changes
Thermoreceptors
Organ/body part that is photoreceptors.
Eye (rods and cones)
A nerve ending that sends signals to the central nervous system when it is stimulated
Sensory Receptor
Receptors that responds to chemical odors.
Olfactory receptors
A chemical that enters the body
Chemical Input
Respond to light.
Photoreceptors
Organs/Body Parts that are mechanoreceptors.
Skin and ear
A cell specialized for transmitting fast electrochemical signals
Nerve Cell
Receptors that responds to chemical flavors.
Gustatory receptors
Signals that enter the body in the form of electromagnetic stimuli
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)
What a plant or animal does
Behavior
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
Senses a change in the internal or external environment
Sensory Receptor
Respond to the body positions of skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Proprioceptors
What are the 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
