the severity of the pain, discovers where the pain is coming from, and responds to the pain. Five Special Senses 1. Sense of Smell The olfactory organs of the nose are linked with the sense of smell. To aid in food selection, the olfactory receptors pair up with taste receptors. The cells of the olfactory receptors are bipolar neurons. In order to be interpreted in the temporal and frontal lobes of the cerebrum, impulses travel from olfactory receptor cells to olfactory bulbs, olfactory tracts, and olfactory nerves. A specific odor is interpreted in the brain when odorant molecules bind cell surface olfactory receptors on the receptor cell cilia. 2. Sense of Taste Taste buds are related to the sense of taste. These taste buds have cells that contain taste hairs. Taste hairs have receptors in which…
way we understand and perceive the world around us as humans are known as senses. There are five senses in human taste, touch, smell, hearing, sight and touch (Bailey, 2013). Human body perceives information through using five senses of smell, taste, hearing, touch and sight. Each sense of body uses a specific part of the body to respond to stimuli in the environment. 1.2 Types of senses There are five senses in the human beings. i. Taste: Taste, also known as gustation, is the ability to…

Giving Up a Sense Out of the five senses, sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch, I would choose to give up smell. Giving up smell also includes giving up taste. Although I love the taste of food, or the smell of the different seasons, I feel that smell and taste are the senses that I least need and will make less of an impact on my daily life, rather than if I took one of the other senses away. Being able to not go out with friends and enjoy food, or discuss how something tastes would be…
Senses are a vital necessity in human life. Senses consist of sight, sounds, smell, tastes, and texture. A main function of the senses is to maintain homeostasis. There are two senses; general and special. “General senses are those with receptors widely distributed throughout the body, including skin, various organs and joints” ( ,Pg. 444). “Special senses have more specialized receptors and are confined to structure in the head, such as eyes and ears”( ,Pg.444). Over time, scientists…
Senses are vital to the well being and survival of any person. From the beginning of time, humans have relied on senses to influence their instincts which maintained their survival. Today, we don 't rely on our senses nearly as much as our cavemen ancestors, but they are still very important. From a young age, we are taught about the five senses and the things they do for us. Our sense of smell allows us to smell good things like cookies in the oven or warn us of danger such as smoke in the…
The purpose of our senses has to do with how our brain works with our body. All the senses in our body are created from the information that goes into the brain. The deeper view on the senses is perception. It creates a much bigger picture on how we view our five sense. The way that we perceive why we do what we do is perspective. All these objectives go with what we do in our everyday lives. As a class we all experienced these senses as we went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and experienced…
Humans have five basic senses: hearing, vision, smell, taste, and touch. The definition of a “sense” is “any system that consists of a group of sensory cell types that respond to a specific physical phenomenon and corresponds to a particular group of regions within the brain where the signals are received and interpreted.” In this paper I will be taking about sensory deprivation which is the lessening or complete loss of senses. I will discuss what hearing, vision, smell, taste, and touch is and…
The classical understanding of sense perception in the western tradition dates from Aristotle and his work on “the nature of living things”, discussed in the treatise “De Anima”. In an attempt to manage the cognitive data produced by the experience of the world, perception was divided into the five classical senses visus-sight, auditus-hearing, odoratus-smell, gustus-taste, and tactus-touch, mediated by their corresponding organs eye, nose, tongue, skin, and ear. Following Aristotle 's remarks,…
Just as St. Augustine states “... I know which of my senses imprinted each image on my mind,” (8); I can vividly remember which senses left which images in my mind. My senses of sight, touch, and sound were the strongest during this moment. I can physically feel the jerking of the car, see the flashing lights, and hear the screeching tires all around me. The excerpt from Confessions describes in detail how each sense portrays a specific role in the memory process. The excerpt also discusses how…
