Sight Light Enters Light travels through the cornea and pupil. Lens Focuses The lens focuses light on the retina. Signals Transmitted The retina sends signals to the brain. Brain Interprets The brain interprets these signals as images.
Hearing Sound Waves Sound waves travel through the ear canal. Eardrum Vibrates The eardrum vibrates in response. Bones Amplify Tiny bones amplify the vibrations. Fluid Waves Fluid waves move within the cochlea. Signals Sent Hair cells convert vibrations into signals. Brain Processes The brain interprets these signals as sound.
Taste 1 Taste Buds Specialized cells on the tongue detect flavors. 2 Chemical Reactions Chemicals in food trigger taste bud responses. 3 Signals Transmitted Nerves send signals to the brain. 4 Brain Interprets The brain interprets the signals as taste.
Smell Olfactory Receptors Specialized cells in the nose detect odors. Signals Transmitted Nerves transmit signals to the olfactory bulb.
Touch Sensory Receptors Specialized cells in the skin detect touch. Pressure, Temperature These receptors detect pressure, temperature, and pain. Signals Sent Nerves send signals to the spinal cord.
Synesthesia Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon where stimulation of one sense triggers an experience in another.
Sensory Integration Sight Visual information helps us interpret the world around us. Hearing Sound provides information about our environment. Taste Taste helps us identify food and its qualities. Smell Smell can evoke memories and emotions.
