  1. sensory system

    The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory neurons (including the sensory receptor cells), neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception. Commonly recognized sensory systems are those for vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and balance. Senses are transducers from the physical world to the realm of the mind where people interpret the information, creating their perception of the world around them.The receptive field is the area of the body or environment to which a receptor organ and receptor cells respond. For instance, the part of the world an eye can see, is its receptive field; the light that each rod or cone can see, is its receptive field. Receptive fields have been identified for the visual system, auditory system and somatosensory system.

  1. sensory system

    A sensory system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information from the external and internal environment. It includes sensory receptors that detect stimuli (such as light, sound, temperature, or chemicals), neural pathways that transmit this information to the brain, and specific areas in the brain that interpret and make sense of these signals. These systems enable organisms to perceive and respond to their surroundings, playing crucial roles in functions like perception, awareness, cognition, and survival. The primary sensory systems in humans are the visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory (smell), and gustatory (taste) systems.
