Sense and Stimulus

What are the five senses?

• Sight, hearing, taste, smell, temperature

• Sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch

• Hearing, taste, smell, touch, balance

• Sight, hearing, taste, smell, balance

Explain the concept of stimulus response.

• Stimulus response is the response to a physical stimulus.

• Stimulus response is the reaction or behavior triggered by a specific stimulus.

• Stimulus response is the result of a chemical reaction.

• Stimulus response is the reaction to a specific smell.

Name the sensory organs associated with each of the five senses.

• Fingers

• Elbows

• Knees

• Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue, Skin

Where are taste buds located on the human tongue?

• On the roof of the mouth

• Underneath the tongue

• In the cheeks

• On the papillae of the tongue

What are touch receptors and where are they found in the human body?

• Touch receptors are sensory nerve endings found throughout the skin and in various parts of the body.

• Touch receptors are present in the hair follicles exclusively.

• Touch receptors are located in the bones of the body.

• Touch receptors are only found in the hands and feet.

How do sense stimulus and sense organs work together to perceive the environment?

• The brain initiates the sense stimulus and then sends it to the sense organs for detection.

• Sense stimulus is directly processed by the sense organs without involving the brain.

• Sense organs transmit information to the environment instead of receiving stimuli.

• Sense stimulus is detected by sense organs and transmitted to the brain for processing.

Which sense is responsible for detecting light?

• Vision

• Smell

• Hearing

• Taste

What is the role of the olfactory system in sensing stimuli?

• The olfactory system senses and processes smells.

• The olfactory system regulates taste perception.

• The olfactory system is responsible for hearing sounds.

• The olfactory system processes visual stimuli.

Describe the process of how the brain interprets sensory information.

• The brain interprets sensory information through a series of steps including reception, transmission, processing, and interpretation.

• The brain interprets sensory information by directly sending signals to the muscles.

• The brain interprets sensory information through a series of smells, tastes, and sounds.

• The brain interprets sensory information by ignoring it completely.

How do sensory adaptations help in our daily lives?

• Sensory adaptations help by allowing our senses to adjust to different stimuli over time, making us more efficient at processing information and reducing sensory overload.

• Sensory adaptations have no impact on our daily lives

• Sensory adaptations make our senses weaker and less responsive

• Sensory adaptations only work for a short period of time before becoming ineffective
