Question
Chapter 16.1, Problem 4WDYL
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Sensory organs on the basis of three classification criteria: the ear and the sense of hearing, the tongue and sense of taste, and stretch receptor in the urinary bladder wall.
Concept introduction:
Sensory receptors are those cells which react to stimulus, received either externally or internally. The sensory receptors are specific to some kinds of stimulations. There are three criteria to classify the sensory receptors:
Location of the receptor, Location of stimulus, and Stimulating agent.
