Jordan falls and scrapes his knee.
Which type of receptor alerts the brain that the body has been damaged?
a.) Osmoreceptor
b.) Nociceptor
c.) Mechanoreceptor
d.) Chemoreceptor
2 — Somatic Sense
Determine how your body detects and interprets somatic sensations.
What detects touch, pressure, heat, cold and pain?
a.) Somatosensory cortex
b.) Free nerve endings
c.) Sensory adaptation
d.) Encapsulated receptors
3 — Smell & Taste
Identify the basics of smell and taste.
Gustation is the technical term for ___________.

c.) sensory input from chemoreceptors
d.) the sensation created by taste and smell working together
4 — Ear Anatomy and Hearing
This lesson will give an overview of the anatomy of the human ear.
The __________ is the jelly-like structure within the ear that hair cells press against
in response to pressure waves, helping the body determine the intensity of a
sound.
a.) tectorial membrane
b.) cochlea
c.) vestibular apparatus
