Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thalamus: The thalamus is the relay center of the brain. It receives afferent impulses from sensory receptors located throughout the body and processes the information for distribution to the appropriate cortical area.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stimulation of the sensory receptor activates the associated afferent neuron, which carries information about the stimulus to the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -A sensory system consists of sensory neurons (including the sensory receptor cells), neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception and interoception. Commonly recognized sensory systems are those for vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, balance and visceral sensation.
