|---|---|
| the interpretation of sensory system input by the brain. | Perception |
| A sensory receptor that detects physical deformation in the body's environment associated with pressure, touch, stretch, motion, or sound. | Mechanoreceptors |
| A receptor of electromagnetic energy, such as visible light, electricity, or magnetism. | Electromagnetic receptors |
| A type of mechanoreceptor that functions in equilibrium in invertebrates by use of statoliths, which stimulate hair cells in relation to gravity. | Statocysts |
| Another name for the eardrum, the membrane between the outer and middle ear. | Tympanic membrane |
| In the vertebrate ear, a membrane-covered gap in the skull bone, through which sound waves pass from the middle ear to the inner ear. | Oval window |
| The complex, coiled organ of hearing that contains the organ of Corti. | Cochlea |
| In the vertebrate ear, a chamber in the vestibule behind the oval window that opens into the three semicircular canals. | Utricle |
| The sense of taste. | Gustation |
| A collection of modified epithelial cells on the tongue or in the mouth that are receptors for taste in mammals. | Taste buds |
| A type of multifaceted eye in insects and crustaceans consisting of up to several thousand light-detecting, focusing ommatidia. | Compound eyes |
| The structure in an eye that focuses light rays onto the photoreceptors. | Lens |
| The place on the retina at the eye's center of focus, where cones are highly concentrated. | Fovea |
| A type of neuron in the retina that synapses with bipolar cells and transmits action potentials to the brain via axons in the optic nerve. | Ganglion cells |
| The destination in the occipital lobe of the cerebrum for most of the axons from the lateral geniculate nuclei. | Primary visual cortex |
| A filament composed of staggered arrays of myosin molecules; a component of myofibrils in muscle fibers. | Thick filaments |
| An infolding of the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells. | Transverse (T) tubules |
| A single motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it controls. | Motor unit |
| A specialized junction between cardiac muscle cells that provides direct electrical coupling between the cells. | Intercalated disks |
| A hard skeleton buried within the soft tissues of an animal. | Endoskeleton |
