AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -We have all heard about the five senses i.e see, hear, smell, taste. and touch. To see we use our eyes, to hear we use our ears, to smell we use our nose, to taste we use our tongue, and we touch with the help of tongue. So basically, human beings have five sense organs i.e. eyes, ear, nose, tongue, and skin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of various receptor nerve cells include rods and cones (vision), Meissner’s corpuscles (touch), olfactory cells (smell), hair cells (hearing), and gustatory cells (taste).

Detailed explanation-3: -Much of this information comes through the sensory organs: the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. Specialized cells and tissues within these organs receive raw stimuli and translate them into signals the nervous system can use.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory receptors exist in all layers of the skin. There are six different types of mechanoreceptors detecting innocuous stimuli in the skin: those around hair follicles, Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner corpuscles, Merkel complexes, Ruffini corpuscles, and C-fiber LTM (low threshold mechanoreceptors).
