GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The central nervous system’s responsibilities include receiving, processing, and responding to sensory information. The brain is an organ of nervous tissue that is responsible for responses, sensation, movement, emotions, communication, thought processing, and memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Afferent or sensory neurons collect stimuli received by receptors throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue as well as pain and other receptors in the internal organs. Sensory information is transmitted to the central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory areas of the brain receive and process sensory information, including sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory areas are the areas of the brain that receive and process sensory information. The cerebral cortex is connected to various subcortical structures such as the thalamus and the basal ganglia. Most sensory information is routed to the cerebral cortex via the thalamus.

Detailed explanation-5: -The primary sensory areas (visual, auditory, somatic sensory and gustatory areas) receive information from peripheral receptors with only a few synapses interposed. The primary visual cortex is located at the caudal pole of the occipital lobe, mainly on its medial region.
