    This document provides information about the human senses and control and regulation systems. It includes sections that describe the parts of the eye and how vision works, how hearing works through the ears, and defines the senses of touch, smell and taste. It also discusses stimulus and response, and how the nervous system works to detect stimuli and send signals to the brain to trigger a response. The document contains questions and activities related to the different topics.

    Tie Your Shoe

     Use only ONE hand


    Hearing Activity

     What organism is discussed in the article?


     What sense was this organism able to regain?
     What was used to help regain the above sense?
     What percentage of organisms in the experimental group
    regained the above sense?
     Who benefits from this new discovery?
    Blurred Vision Activity

     Write down 5 points made by James Macpherson in the article


    Stimulus and Response

     Stimulus – any information that your body receives that


    might cause it to respond

     Receptor – detects the changes and passes the information to


    other parts of the body

     Response – how the body reacts to the information received


    Our Senses

    How do we sense the world?


     Sense organs are used to detect stimuli (such as light, sound,
    touch, taste and smell) in our environment.
     The human sense organs are _________, ________, ________,
    ________ and ________.
     These sense organs contain specialized cells called receptors.
    These receptors are listed below:

    How do we sense the world?


     Sense organs are used to detect stimuli (such as light, sound,
    touch, taste and smell) in our environment.
     The human sense organs are eyes, ears, skin, tongue and nose.
    These sense organs contain specialized cells called receptors.
    These receptors are listed below:
    Our 5 Senses

    Vision- eyes
    (light)

    Smell- nose •eyes to see


    (chemicals) •ears to hear
    •nose to smell
    •tongue to taste
    •skin to touch and feel
    Taste- tongue
    (chemicals)
    Hearing – ears
    Touch- skin (sound and
    (temperature movement)
    and pressure)

    Getting the message - SIGHT
    Eyes are made up of many different parts, each with its own special job to
    do:
     Pupil – dark hole in centre of eye through which light passes

     Iris – coloured part of eye made up of a ring of muscles that controls size
    of pupil, hence the amount of light that can enter the eye

     Cornea – clear outer covering of the eye. Is curved so light is bent


    towards the pupil. It is a protective layer for the eye

     Lens – is clear and jelly-like.


    Focuses light onto a thin
    sheet of tissue that lines the
    back of the eye called the
    retina.
    SIGHT cont…
     The retina contains photoreceptors (called rods & cones) that respond to light
    stimuli by sending signals to the optic nerve which then forwards them to the
    brain for interpretation.
    The Blind Spot

    Every eye has a Blind Spot. It is a small part of the retina of


    each eye that corresponds to the point where the optic nerve
    begins. There are no photoreceptors (i.e. rods or cones) in this
    area of the retina and, therefore, any image that lands there
    cannot be detected.

    Monocular vs Binocular Vision

     The difference between monocular vision and binocular vision is the


    location of the eyes.
     Monocular vision: the eyes are located on the side of the head, and
    only one eye can take in the visual field presented. For example:
    herbivores and prey animals
     Binocular vision: eyes located on the front of the head, vision overlaps
    because the eyes are so close together. For example humans and
    predator animals
    Monocular vs Binocular Vision

     Monocular Binocular
    Hearing
     Echolocation
    Smell
    Smell

     Odors come from molecules in the air that stimulate receptors in


    the nose; if an organism does not have a receptor for that
    particular odor molecule, for that organism, the odor has no smell.
     The senses of smell and taste are directly related because they both
    use the same types of receptors. If one’s sense of smell is not
    functional, then the sense of taste will also not function because of the
    relationship of the receptors
