29.3 The Senses
KEY CONCEPT
The senses detect the internal and external
environments.
29.3 The Senses
The senses help to maintain homeostasis.
• Senses gather stimuli, and send
it to the nervous system.
• Nervous system responds to
stimuli.
– Pupils shrink when too much
light enters the eyes.
– Goose bumps when cold air
touches skin.
29.3 The Senses
The senses detect physical and chemical stimuli.
• The eye contributes to vision.
– Photoreceptors sense
light.
– Two photoreceptors work
together: rod cells and cone
cells.
– The optic nerve sends the
signals to the brain.
29.3 The Senses
• The ear contributes to hearing.
– mechanoreceptors called hair cells bend in response to
vibrations
29.3 The Senses
• Taste and smell use chemoreceptors.
– Taste uses tongue, and smell uses nose.
– Tastes are dependent on the sense of smell.
– Chemoreceptors detect chemicals dissolved in fluid.
29.3 The Senses
• The skin senses touch.
– Mechanoreceptors detect pressure.
pain receptor
light pressure receptor
hair follicle
heavy pressure receptor
– Pain receptors detect damaged tissue.
– Thermoreceptors detect temperature.
29.3 The Senses
Exercises
• How do your sensory organs work with your brain to help you
perceive the world around you?
• What kinds of receptors are hair cells, rod cells, and cone cells
and to which of your senses do these cells contribute?
• Why do you think you can perceive some sounds as soft and
others as loud?
• In the human eye there are 20 rod cells for every 1 cone cell.
How would your vision be different if you had 5 rod cells for
every 20 cone cells?
• For some invertebrates that live in the water, the sense of
taste and the sense of smell are identical. Why do you think
separate organs for taste and smell might have evolved in
animals that live on the land but not in animals that live in the
water?
