    Study Notes

    Sensory Receptors

    • Fast adapting receptors adapt quickly to stimuli.
    • Olfactory receptors are associated with the sense of smell.
    • Mechanoreceptors are associated with detecting pressure and vibration.
    • Thermoreceptors are associated with detecting changes in body temperature.

    Brain Processing

    • The gustatory cortex is involved in processing taste signals.
    • The visual cortex is involved in processing visual information.
