General Principles • Sensation system a part of the nervous system - sensory receptor cells: receive stimuli form the external/internal environment - the neural pathways: conduct information (receptor → brain/spinal cord) - parts of the brain: primarily process the information

Sensory Receptors • Specialized cells or group of nerve endings which respond to stimuli Perception of the world are created by the brain (CNS) from info derived from the sensory receptors (neurons) of the PNS. Receptors transduce (change) different forms of sensation to nerve impulses. • Functional categories of sensory receptors - Photoreceptors light - Chemoreceptors chemicals Airborne → smell; dissolved → taste; internal →pain - Thermoreceptors temperature - Mechanoreceptors touch and pressure - Nociceptors pain - Proprioceptors body position
