Sensory Systems
Sensory Systems: the sensory system is part of the nervous system and is responsible for processing sensory information. It consists of sensory receptors, neural pathways and parts of the brain that are involved in sensory perception. Some of the common sensory systems are vision, hearing, somatic sensation or touch, taste and olfaction or smell.
