    Study Notes

    Sensory Functions

    • Visual functions comprise quality of vision, visual acuity, visual stability, and visual field
    • Quality of vision enables detection of light, contrast, and color among visual stimuli
    • Visual acuity allows detection of form and contour, and seeing things clearly near and far
    • Visual stability enables perception of objects or the environment as stable despite rapid eye movement
    • Visual field provides visual awareness of the environment, including everything seen ahead and in the periphery

    Hearing Functions

    • Sound detection and discrimination enable awareness of sound location and distance
    • Hearing functions involve awareness of sound location and distance

    Vestibular Functions

    • Position function helps determine the body's position and provides information on head position
    • Balance function maintains an upright position while standing, sitting, or moving
    • Secure movement against gravity enables movement in the environment against gravity's forces

    Taste Functions

    • Taste involves detection of chemicals by the tongue and sending neural signals to the brain
    • Taste functions are engaged in eating or drinking activities that involve the tongue
    • Four primary tastes are bitterness, sweetness, sourness, and saltiness

    Smell Functions

    • Smell involves perceiving chemicals in the air and sending signals to the brain
    • Smell function requires the nose to detect chemicals in the air

    Proprioceptive Functions

    • Proprioception determines body position and movement, including direction
    • Proprioceptive receptors are located in muscles, tendons, and joints

    Touch Functions

    • Touch involves feeling touched and perceiving various textures
    • Touch functions are essential for interacting with the environment

    Pain Functions

    • Pain can be localized or generalized
    • Localized pain is confined to a specific area, while generalized pain is more widespread

    Temperature and Pressure Functions

    • Temperature sense involves thermal awareness, including detection of heat and cold
    • Pressure sense involves awareness of force applied to the skin
