Document Summary
: sense organs detection of external stimuli, their responses to the. : when sensory organs translate the physical properties of. : decrease in sensitivity to a constant level of: absolute threshold you experience a sensation detect a difference, difference threshold. : minimum stimulation intensity that must occur before. Receptors send info to olfactory bulb: brain center for smell below: the only sense that bypasses the thalamus, intensity of a smell are processed where emotion and memory are. : senses temperature, pressure, pain, where limbs are in space: haptic sense, tactile stimulation, largest organ for sensory reception, temperature and pressure receptors reach to the skins outer layer, pain. Slow fibers produce chronic, steady, dull pain: myelination speeds up neural communication, so fast fibers have myelination and slow fibers don"t o, hearing, audition, vibration displaces air molecules which changes air pressure. : sense of hearing in air pressure travels through the air causing hearing.
