PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Taste (gustation) and smell (olfaction) are called chemical senses because both have sensory receptors that respond to molecules in the food we eat or in the air we breathe.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement is true regarding sensation and perception? Sensation involves the activation of sense receptors; perception involves interpretation.

Detailed explanation-3: -How does sensation travel through the central nervous system, and why are some sensations ignored? Sensations are activated when special receptors in the sense organs occur. The sensory receptors are not stimulated by neurotransmitters, instead the cells are stimulated by different kinds of energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deep inside the head is the inner ear, which contains 3 small, fluid-filled structures called the semicircular canals (ducts). Each duct has a swelling at the end called the ampulla. Within the ampulla are tiny “balance” receptors called crista.
