What’s in the bag? Blind fold students or (take away other senses) and have them identify different objects. Explain that senses help us receive information.

Sensory Reception. SENSORY RECEPTORS The senses are the human brain’s connection to the outside world.

Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touching

Your Senses A loud “boom!” is heard across the street. You turn quickly and duck slightly. Your senses are in action! The unexpected noise produces impulses.

The Sense Organs. Humans react to both internal and external stimuli – we can detect these stimuli because our bodies contain several types of sensory.

Presentation transcript:

The Senses Chapter 35

5 senses --- touch , taste, smell, sight & hearing The skin is the organ of touch Touch is a combination of pain, pressure, hot & cold TASTE The tongue is the organ of taste Receptors for taste are located in the taste buds Sweet--- tip of tongue Salt--- sides of tongue near front Sour--- sides of tongue near back Bitter--- across back of tongue

SMELL The nose is the organ of smell The Olfactory neurons in the nose detect smell SIGHT The eye is the organ for sight

The Eye PART FUNCTION conjunctiva protection sclera Lets no light through Holds the eye in shape cornea Lets light into the eye choroid Nourishes eye & prevents reflection of light with in eye

Fovea (yellow spot) Contains cones only– region of sharpest vision Blind spot Where optic nerve leaves the eye Optic nerve Carries impulses from the eye to the brain Lens Changes shape to focus light on the retina Ciliary muscle Cause the lens to change shape

Iris (coloured part) Controls the amount of light entering the eye Pupil Lets light into the eye Aqueous Humour Holds the front of the eye in shape Retina Contains rods & cones (the light receptors) Rods for black & white vision & work in dim light Cones for colour vision & work in bright light Vitreous Humour Holds the back of the eye in shape

Long Sightedness--Hypermetropia Person with long sight can see distant objects clearly, but cannot see near objects Cause: eyeball is too short To Fix: use CONVEX lens

Short sightedness--- Myopia Person can see near objects clearly, but cannot see distant objects Cause: the eyeball is too long To Fix: use CONCAVE lens

Accommodation Is the ability of the eye to focus light from objects at different distances by altering the focal length of the retina

Response of Iris to light BRIGHT LIGHT the circular muscles contract the size of the pupil decreases Less light enters the eye

DIM LIGHT The circular muscles relax The size of the pupil increases More light enters the eye

Hearing The function of the ear is hearing and balance There are 3 sections to the ear Outer ear Middle ear Inner ear

The Ear PART FUNCTION Auditory canal Collects vibrations & carries vibration to eardrum Eardrum Carries vibration to the middle ear Ossicles– hammer, anvil, stirrup Increases the vibrations & passes them to the oval window Eustachian tube Connects the middle ear & pharynx Equalises pressure between the middle & outer ear

Cochlea Hearing– contain receptors which are stimulated by pressure waves in lymph. Receptors cause electrical impulses to be sent to the brain along the auditory nerve which interprets them as sound Organ of Corti Contains receptors for hearing Pinna Collect and channel vibration into the auditory canal Vestibular apparatus Balance

How we hear Sound waves enter the ear Eardrum vibrates Three bones amplify the sound Oval window vibrates Liquid in cochlea moves hair cells stimulated Auditory nerve carries impulses to the brain Brain interprets the sound

Glue Ear Is a hearing disorder Caused: by too much sticky fluid in the middle ear Corrected: by decongestants or grommets( small tubes inserted into the eardrum)
