Los sentidos

The video explains how sensory organs gather information from the environment and send it to the brain. It covers the five sensory organs: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin, each with specialized receptors. These receptors convert stimuli into electrical impulses that travel to the brain, where they are processed to create our sensory experiences. Sensory neurons play a crucial role in this process, differing from other neurons by detecting external signals. The brain processes these signals to form the images and sounds that shape our perception of the world.

What is the primary function of sensory organs?

• To create electrical impulses

• To control body movements

• To receive and process signals from the environment

• To store information

Which sensory organ is responsible for detecting light?

• Nose

• Tongue

• Eye

• Ear

What do olfactory cells in the nose detect?

• Substances from the air

• Vibrations

• Temperature changes

• Light waves

How do sensory neurons differ from other neurons?

• They do not generate electrical impulses

• They are smaller in size

• They process internal information

• They take in external information

Where are sensory experiences such as images and sounds created?

• In the spinal cord

• In the sensory organs

• In the muscles

• In the brain
