🗑
respond by generating electrical impulses   receptors  
🗑
transmit impulses from receptors to the CNS. they are found in both spinal and cranial nerves   sensory neurons  
🗑

🗑
most in the cerebral cortex. feel and interpret sensations   sensory areas  
🗑
the sensation seems to come from the area where the receptors were stimulated   projection  
🗑
pain felt where there are not longer receptors present but the severed nerve endings continue to generate impulses   phantom pain  
🗑
the degree in which the sensations are feltthe brain counts the impulses   intensity  
🗑
the effect of a previous or simultaneous sensation on a current sensation.   contrast  
🗑
becoming unaware of a continuing stimulusexample wearing a watch and not feeling it   adaptation  
🗑
the sensation remains in the consciousness even after teh stimulus has stopped.example watching a bright light go off and still seeing the light in the darkness   after-image  
🗑

🗑
receptors for taste are found in   taste buds  
🗑
most are in papillae on the tounge   taste buds  
🗑
detect chemicals in solution in the mouth   chemoreceptors  
🗑
in the mouth chemicals are   food
