Sensory Receptor \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad Stimulus ~~~~~ Category ~~~~~ Sense
Taste cells
Olfactory cells
Rods and cones in retina
Hair cells in spiral organ
Hair cells in semicircular canals
Hair cells in vestibule
Exteroreceptors
Sensory receptors located on or near the surface of the body that respond to external stimuli, including touch, temperature, and sound.
Spiral Organ
Also known as the Organ of Corti, it is located in the cochlea of the inner ear and is responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals for the brain to interpret as sound.
- Understand the mechanisms of taste, smell, and balance, including the sensory receptors involved.
