Eyes: The sensory receptor in the eyes is the photoreceptor cell, specifically the rods and cones, which detect light and color. Nose: The sensory receptor in the nose is the olfactory receptor, located in the olfactory epithelium, which detects odor molecules. Tongue: The sensory receptors in the tongue are taste buds, which contain taste receptor cells that detect different tastes like sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami. Skin: The sensory receptors in the skin include mechanoreceptors (detect touch and pressure), thermoreceptors (detect temperature), nociceptors (detect pain), and proprioceptors (detect body position and movement).
Static equilibrium refers to a system at rest where all forces are balanced, while dynamic equilibrium refers to a system in motion where the rate of change is constant. In static equilibrium, objects are stationary, while in dynamic equilibrium, objects are moving at a constant speed and direction.
A typical reflex arc includes a sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron (optional), motor neuron, and an effector (muscle or gland). The impulse travels from the sensory receptor to the spinal cord or brain, where it is processed. The response is then carried back along the motor neuron to the effector to produce the reflex action.
No, a pendulum is an example of dynamic equilibrium because it is constantly moving back and forth while staying balanced. Static equilibrium refers to a system that is at rest and not moving.
The maintenance of equilibrium while stationary or moving is termed balance. It involves the coordination of sensory information, such as from the inner ear, vision, and proprioception, to ensure stability and prevent falls or deviations from the desired position or movement. Balance is essential for performing daily activities and for coordination during physical tasks.
The Macula is the receptor for static equilibrium.
maculae/static equilibrium
macula for static equilibrium and cristae for dynamic equilibrium. All are found in the inner ear.
Yes the sensory receptor is the first element.
saccule and utricle in the vestibule of the inner ear are responsible for static equilibrium. They contain sensory hair cells that detect the position of the head in relation to gravity.
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
The parts of the ear that function in static equilibrium are the utricle and the saccule, which are located in the vestibule of the inner ear. These structures contain specialized sensory cells and are responsible for detecting the position of the head with respect to gravity. They help maintain balance and stability when the body is not in motion.

Sensory receptors translate physical energy into neural signals.
