Question
Chapter 8, Problem 29SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
Name three sensory receptors that transmit information in order to normalize the balance.
Introduction:
Sensory receptors are present in the skin, ears, eyes, and tongue. These receptors send the information related to touch, sound, light, and taste to the brain.

Students have asked these similar questions
The transmission of sensory information requires the input of free energy. For each sensory system (olfaction, gustation, vision, hearing, and touch), identify mechanisms for the input of free energy that allow the transmission of sensory information.
Input .
a) light
b) odorant
c)sweet molecule
d) epinenphrine
Result
1.sensory cell depolarizes
2. sensory cell hyperpolarizes
3. no effect on sensory cell membrane potential
Differentiate between dynamic balance and static balance.
