Explanation:
A sensory system can be defined as components of the central nervous system (CNS) which comprises of the brain, neural tissues or pathways and sensory neurons responsible for sensory functions, perception and processing sensory informations such as sound, light, heat, etc.
Generally, the nervous system found in living organisms such as humans, comprises of two (2) major components or systems; a central nervous system (CNS) and a peripheral nervous system (PNS).
Basically, the central nervous system (CNS) interprete the neural signals that are generated from stimuli that are detected by the sensory system. The five (5) main sense organs in the sensory system are: skin, tongue, ears, nose and the eyes. Some of the terminologies and features associated with the sensory system includes the following;
I. Adaptation: loss of sensitivity due to repeated stimuli. Stimulus can be defined as an obvious change in either the chemical or physical structure of an organism' environment (either external or internal).
II. Filiform papilla: helps manipulate food on tongue surface. These are the thread-like dots found on the tongue and they typically cover two-third (⅔) of the human tongue.
III. Gustation: sense of taste. It is the ability of a living organism to taste flavors in a food or other things.
IV. Bowman's gland: produces mucus. It's a nasal gland found in the olfactory mucosa and responsible for the production of mucus in living organisms.
V. Basal cell: stem cell of olfactory receptor.
VI. Vallate papilla: contains taste buds for bitter substances.
VII. Olfactory: sense of smell. This is the ability of a living organism to perceive or smell something.
VIII. Sustentacular cell: supportive cell of olfactory receptor.
IX. Cranial nerve I: cranial nerve for taste.
X. Cranial nerve VII: cranial nerve for smell.
