Copyright © 2004 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings You should now be familiar with: The sensory organs of smell, and the olfactory pathways in the brain. The accessory and internal structures of the eye, and their functions. How light stimulates the production of nerve impulses, and the visual pathways. The structures of the external and middle ear and how they function. The parts of the inner ear and their roles in equilibrium and hearing. The pathways for the sensations of equilibrium and hearing.
