Sensation is the awareness or mental process that arises from stimulation of the senses. There are three conditions for acquiring sensory awareness: 1) stimulation of a sense organ by physical or chemical energy, 2) the presence of receptor cells in a sense organ, and 3) stimulation of the receptor cells by a stimulus. The stimulus is converted into electrochemical impulses via transduction and transmitted to the brain via nerves. The two main types of senses are distal senses, which detect stimuli from a distance like vision and audition, and proximal senses, which require direct contact like smell, taste, and touch.
Olfaction is very important for us and also for other animals.
Dog’s sense of smell is 1000 times more than humans. People use dog’s keen sense of smell in many ways---
Govt. agencies use specially trained dogs in search and rescue missio
Detection of narcotics.
Detection of forensic cadaver material.
Due to lack of smell the following disorders may be seen---
Anosmia : lack of ability to smell
Hyposmia- decreased ability to smell
Phantosmia- [“hallucinated smell”] often unpleasant in nature
Dysosmia- things smell differently than they should.
Hyperosmia- an abnormally acute sense of smell
Some times olfaction serve as marker for Perkinson’s diseases. Some illness can be diagnosed by their associated smell( e.g. acetone and diabetes). So smell therapy and clinical use of odour is an area for future.

Chemoreceptors
Chemoreceptors or organs of chemical sense consist of olfactory organs and organs of taste. Both these organs are stimulated only by chemical substances or odours in air (nostrils) and in solution (tongue).
The medium for dissolving substances for taste is water for aquatic animals and mucus for land animals.
The olfactory organs can respond to a low concentration of the dissolved substance, whereas organs of taste need a higher concentration of the dissolved substance for a response.
Olfactory Organs in Vertebrates:
Odours bind to and activate olfactory receptors located on the dendrites of sensory neurons in the nose. Olfactory organs (olfactory-receptors) are a pair of invaginations of the ectodermal cells of the skin forming olfactory sacs on the anterior end of head.
Their external openings are called nostrils or nares.
In most fishes the olfactory organs consist of a pair of pits lined with folds or ridges of sensory epithelium.
The cyclostomes have a single median olfactory organ. This is a blind pit in the lampreys, but in hagfishes it opens into the pharynx.
Dipnoans resemble higher vertebrates in possessing paired nasal passages that open by means of choanae into pharynx. The nasal passages, therefore, have both internal and external openings. The olfactory epithelium within canals appears in the form of folds.
Sensory systems consist of peripheral receptor cells and integrating neurons in the brain.
Impulses are transmitted from receptors by sensory fibres to the central nervous system where they are interpreted as sensations or messages, which are sent to effector organs through efferent or motor nerve fibres, for responding in an appropriate manner.
A vertebrate has receptors or sense organs for touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing, which are stimulated by the environment. These sense organs are termed external receptors or exteroceptors.
There are other sense organs found in the body, which detect temperature, pain, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and muscle position. They are spoken of as internal receptors or interoceptors.
Besides these two, third is proprioceptors, which are stretch receptors found in the muscles, joints, tendons, connective tissue and skeletons. All receptors are closely associated with the nervous system and respond to external or internal stimuli.
List of Common Senses:
1. Touch.- It includes contact, pressure, heat and cold, etc.
2. Taste. -Receive stimulus by chemicals in solution.
3. Smell.- Receive volatile chemicals and gases in air.
4. Hearing.- Receive sound vibrations.
5. Sight. -Receive light waves.
Olfaction is one the major sense. In the following presentation, a brief description of the olfactory system is given. In this following topics are discussed: olfactory membrane, olfactory bulb, odor pathway, anosmia, directional smelling and plasticity. By the end of it, you will be able to describe the olfactory pathway of the nervous system.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

TESDA TM1 REVIEWER FOR NATIONAL ASSESSMENT WRITTEN AND ORAL QUESTIONS WITH A...
Sensation and Perception
1.
2.
3. Sensation- awareness or mental process which is
aroused due to stimulation of a sense organ.
ACQUIRING SENSORY AWARENESS
1ST
CONDITION:
1. Stimulation – anything which rouses a sense
organ to activity.
2 types of stimulus
1. physical energy
2. chemical form energy
4. Receptor Organ – highly specialized part of the
body and selecting sensitive to a definite
stimulus.
- doorway of the body responsible for all the
sensation we experience.
- “sense organ”
5. 2nd
Condition:
Presence of Receptor Cell
- the sense organ detect stimuli from the
environment and transmit information to the
appropriate areas of the brain.
3rd
Condition:
Sense Receptor is stimulated by certain “stimulus”.
6. Stimulus must be transferred into a code of
electrochemical impulses which is travel to the
brain.
Transduction – process of converting physical
energy into activity in the nervous system which
takes place in the receptor.
7. QUESTION: When a stimulus is said to be detected?
ANSWER: Stimulus to be detected must be strong
enough and to produce sensation.
1. Absolute threshold – stimulus is in the inner limit or
does not go or reach beyond the threshold.
2. Subliminal threshold – stimuli are way above the
threshold.
3. Terminal threshold – stimuli reach an increased
intensity it produces pain and individual
uncomfortable.
8. Sensory Adaptation :
1. Sense Receptor – ability to make adaptation to
changes/ adjust to a particular stimulus.
2. Sense Organ:
a. Distal senses – sensitive to stimuli coming
from a distance in the outside environment.
b. Proximal senses – bring information when we
come direct contact with the objects that
stimulates them.
9.
10. A. DISTAL SENSES
1. Vision
- utilize the physical characteristic of light.
EYE (receptor organ of Vision).
Light Waves ( stimuli for seeing)
waves of radiant energy coming from the sun.
Eye utilizes 2 basic properties of light:
1. brightness – intensity of light (the amount of radiant
energy coming from the sun.
2. color – wave length or frequency
11. Parts of the Eye:
1. Sclerotic coat (SCLERA) – hard and outer most
covering , it protects the eye.
2. Choroid coat – full of bloody tissues, gives
nourishment to the eye.
3. Retina – inner most covering of the eye.
Photosensitive plate of the eye. Regarded as the
true organ of vision.
RODS and CONS (receptors cells) embedded on
in the coat.
14. connects light energy to nerve impulse
Receptor cells
Nerve impulse
Optic nerve
BRAIN
15. Receptor cells of the eye:
RODS - slender nerve cells ( 100 million)
Function: used for twilight vision or low light intensity, enable one to make
colorless discrimination, sensitive to tiny amount of lights ( dim light ), color
blind (they see the world in black and white).
Cones – thicker / cone shape ; interprets color. ( 6 million)
Function: Daytime vision , enable one to discriminate brightness , hue or
color.
See the color of the spectrum ( 3 types of cones)
Sensitive to
A. red
B. green
C. blue
16.
17. 3 dimension of colors
1. Hue - name of colors
red- longest wave length.
violet – shortest wave length.
blue , green , yellow – intermediate wave length.
2. Brightness – energy of the source of light
coloring range from bright to dim.
intensity of the stimulus.
3. Saturation – purity or richness of color.
highly saturated color – pure hues ( no tint of gray added)
low saturation – close to gray
note: Saturation of any color is reduced by mixing it with white.
19. Parts of the retina:
Fovea – in the central region, the point of
clearest and sharpest vision
Blind spot – are where all the nerve
fibers converge to form optic nerve which carries
impulse to the brain.
2 kinds of Blind spot
1. Dichromatic – 2 or 3 primary colors
2. Achromatic – no cones in the retina
20.
21. 2. AUDITION
Sound Waves
1. pitch – highness or lowness of a sound.
2. loudness – intensity sound pursue that
activates the eardrum.
3. timbre – quality of musical tone.
22.
23. Mechanism of the hearing
3 major parts:
1. outer / external serves to collect sound waves.
2. middle ear – transmit the sound waves.
3. inner ear – has sensitive receptors for hearing.
24. How do we hear?
Sound waves travel and collected by
pinna
Funneled
by the
auditory
canal
Ear drum
25. Changes in air pressure
Middle ear Tiny bones hammer anvil
26. Stirrup ( to vibrate) 3 tiny bones conduct the
sound impulse inward to the
inner ear:
Hammer – eardrum- stirrup
Oval windows
29. II. Proximal Distance:
1. Olfaction – sense of smell
stimulus substance : gaseous substance( must
be dissolved in the air “ vaporous form.
30.
31. Mechanism of Smell:
RECEPTOR – Olfactory receptor – long thread
like nerve tissue from
Olfactory bulb
Nasal cavity
32. Process:
1. Anything that is sniffed must best dissolved in
the air.
2. Receptor cells detect the molecules dissolved
in the air that is sucked up in the nasal cavity.
3. Move up to the olfactory bulbs of the brain.
4. Physical Energy is transduced in the olfactory
epithelium to be able to reach the brain.
33. 2. Gustation
“ Tongue” organ for the sense of taste
Stimulus – chemicals – must transform into soluble
substance to penetrate into the taste cells.
Receptor – taste receptor
Papillae – tongue elevation
Taste buds – lie between the papillae ( taste receptor)
Pore – opening of the taste buds.
34.
35. Mechanism of taste:
The food is transformed into soluble form .
Depolarized liquid substance can penetrate into
the taste cells:
depolarized
Will incite the
nerve fiber
36. Give rise to nerve
impulse
Gustatory nerve
Brain
