Which of the following represents a sensory input thatis not part of both the somatic and autonomic systems? a. visionb. tastec. baroreceptiond. proprioception
Which of the following statements is NOT true about the sensory systems?   Chemoreceptors are responsible for our senses of taste and smell   Mechanoreceptors respond to physical motion and changes in shape   A constant sensory stimulus may eventually lead to a decreased response thanks to sensory adaptation   All of our senses except for sight travel through the thalamus where they eventually go on to the primary sensory area of the cerebrum   Our sensory systems respond to external stimuli like sight and sound, but also internal stimuli like blood sugar levels or muscle contractions
The sensory contex is the area of your brain that processes sensations from your body. Each section of the sensory cortex processes information from a different body part. Larger body parts, such as you back or thighs, do not necessarily receive more space the sensory cortex. Explain why larger areas of your body such as your stomach back or thighs do not have a large space in the sensory cortex of the brain and why is it important that these areas cannot distinguish minor sensations.
