Light eyes afferent neurone brain efferent neurone effector response

Part of Eye Cornea

Function / Definition

a tough, five-layered membrane through which light is admitted to the interior of the eye. the colorful part of the eye, control how much light Iris goes through the pupil. black circle in the center of the iris, and it lets light Pupil enter the eye. Anterior Chamber the space between the cornea and the iris, contains transparent fluids that nourishes the eye. Lens focus light rays on the back of the eyeball (retina) Retina Rod nerve cells (inside retina) Cone nerve cells (inside retina) takes the light received by the eye and changes it into nerve signals, then send those signals to brain. see in black, white, and shades of gray and tell us the form or shape that something has. sense color and they need more light than rods to work well.

Sound ears afferent neurone brain efferent neurone effector response

Part of Ear Outer Ear

Function / Definition visible portion of the ear, which serves as a protective organ for the eardrum. It collects and guides the sound waves into the middle ear. vibrates as soon as it receives the sound waves and transforms the sound energy into the mechanical energy.

Eardrum (tympanic membrane)

Malleus, Incus, receive vibration from eardrum and tansmit to inner Stapes ear. Cochlea Semicircular Canals the membrane lining of cochlea consists of numerous nerve cells. These are fluid-filled loops, attached to the cochlea and helps in maintaining the balance.

Auditory Nerve The electrical impulses, generated by the nerve cells, are then passed to the brain.

Touch skin afferent neurone brain efferent neurone effector response

Part of Skin Hair Sweat Gland Oil Gland Epidermis

Function / Definition keep the body warm by trapping air underneath them. regulate bodys temperature produce an oily secretion, called sebum, which is skin's natural lubricant. protects the body from invasion and infection and helps to seal in moisture.

Dermis

Fat layer

consists of bundles of tough fibers which give the skin its elasticity, firmness and strength. There are also blood vessels, which feed vital nutrients to these areas Attaches the skin to internal organs

Odor nose afferent neurone brain efferent neurone effector response

Part of Nose Nostril

Function / Definition one of two openings to the nose.

Nasal Bone

Olfactory nerve

two oblong shaped bones which connect vertically and run from the top to the middle of the nose. They form the bridge of the nose and vary in size depending on the individual. transmits the sense of smell from the nasal cavity to the brain.

Chemical tongue afferent neurone brain efferent neurone effector response

Part of Nose Papillae

Function / Definition contains taste bud (chemo-receptors), which helps us identify between different tastes of food. Helps in filtering germs secures or holds the tongue in place inside the mouth

Tonsils Frenulum linguae
