olfactory receptors are examples of
chemoreceptors
stimulated by changes in the chemical concentration of substance
chemoreceptors
what type of receptors are olfactory receptors
chemoreceptors
stimulated by pressure or body movements
mechanoreceptors
stimulated by light energy
photoreceptors
the perception of pain coming from parts of the body that are not actually stimulated is called
referred pain
the frequency (pitch) of a sound is indicated to the nervous system by the
region of the organ of Corti is stimulated
innermost layer of the inner eye that contains rod and cone cells
retina
the visual receptors of the retina are called
rods and cones
white fibrous outer layer of the eye
sclera
middle ear
auditory ossicles
portion of the inner ear that contains hearing receptors
cochlea
inner ear
cochlea, vestibule, semicircular canal,
loose connective tissue supporting and surrounding the eyeball
conjunctiva
the ciliary muscle helps to
control the production of aqueous humor
tubular structure in the inner ear responsible for rotational equilibrium
semicircular canal
Movement of the sensory receptors in the ampullae of the semicircular canals
stimulates receptor cells alerting us to rotational movement

taste pores
A blind spot in the retina occurs where
the optic nerve attaches to the retina
fluid in the eye filling the space between the lens and the retina
