The Sensory System

Question 1 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

What are characteristics of the sensory system? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The sensory system is part of the nervous system.
B
The sensory system is the specialty focused on the brain.
C
The sensory system is responsible for the five senses – sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.
D
The sensory system receives information from the body and sends it to the brain.

Explanation

The sensory system is part of the nervous system and includes the senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell. Sensory receptors detect information from the body and surroundings, then send signals to the brain for processing. The specialty focused on the brain is not what defines the sensory system, so B is incorrect.
