 Sensation and perception are
stages of processing of the
SENSATION AND PERCEPTION senses in human and animal
systems, such as vision, auditory,
vestibular, and pain senses
 The main function of the eye is to
convert light into electrochemical

EYES impulses that the brain can interpret as

visual images. The various parts of
the eye perform
different functions that contribute to
this purpose.
 EYES
Cornea: the clear front window of the eye. The cornea transmits and focuses light into the eye.

Iris: the colored part of the eye. The iris helps regulate the amount of light that enters the eye.

Lens: the transparent structure inside the eye that focuses light rays onto the retina.
Macula: a small area in the retina that contains special light-sensitive cells. The macula allows us to see fine details clearly.

Optic Nerve: the nerve that connects the eye to the brain. The optic nerve carries the impulses formed by the retina to the brain,
which interprets them as images.

Pupil: the dark center in the middle of the iris. The pupil determines how much light is let into the eye. It changes sizes to
accommodate for the amount of light that is available.

Retina: the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye. The retina senses light and creates impulses that are sent through
the optic nerve to the brain.
 The ears are organs that provide
two main functions hearing and

EARS balance that depend on specialized

receptors called hair cells. Hearing: The
eardrum vibrates when sound waves
enter the ear canal.
EARS
Pinna
The ear flap or pinna is the outer portion of the ear. This is used like a
satellite dish to collect sound and transmit it inward where it can be translated into
the appropriate medium.
Ear canal
This 2 cm canal helps to amplify sound as it enters the middle ear so it can be
interpreted properly. This area also contains cells which produce ear wax, which
helps keep debris out of the middle ear.
Eardrum
Is a thin piece of tissue that is stretched between the outer and middle ear. It
is called the drum because sound waves will hit it and cause it to vibrate, which will
take the sound from acting as wave energy and translate it to mechanical energy
that can travel through the rest of the ear.
EARS
Cochlea
This is a spiral tube that is covered in a stiff membrane. This membrane is filled with
nerve cells, commonly known as ear hairs. These hairs are designed to pick up on a different
type of vibration, which hits in different frequencies.
Ossicles
The three tiniest bones in the body form the coupling between the vibration of the
eardrum and the forces exerted on the oval window of the inner ear.
Eustachian tube
A narrow passage leading from the pharynx to the cavity of the middle ear,
permitting the equalization of pressure on each side of the eardrum.
Auditory Nerve
These nerves receive the electrical impulses generated by the ear and pass this
information up to the brain so it can be interpreted.
 Taste and smell are separate

TASTE AND SMELL senses with their own receptor

organs, yet they are intimately
entwined.
TASTE AND SMELL
Smell and taste belong to our chemical sensing system (chemosensation). The
complicated process of smelling and tasting begins when molecules released by the
substances around us stimulate special nerve cells in the nose, mouth, or throat.
Seventy to seventy-five percent of what we perceive as taste actually comes from
our sense of smell. Taste buds allow us to perceive only bitter, salty, sweet, and sour
flavors. It's the odor molecules from food that give us most of our taste sensation.
 The skin is one of the largest
SKIN organs in the body in surface
area and weight.
SKIN
The skin consists of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis.
Beneath the dermis lies the hypodermis or subcutaneous fatty tissue.
The skin has three main functions: protection, regulation and sensation.
