The sensory system is mainly made up of the organs that help in human sense. We have five sensory organs, which include the ears, tongue, skin, nose and eyes and they have receptors that relay information through sensory neurons to the appropriate places within the nervous system. Test out what you recall from chapter 10 on the sensory system by taking up the quiz below on the topic. All the best!

When a boxer gets punched in the eye, he perceives light
Rotation of the head stimulates certain receptors in the vestibular system but not those in the visual system
Information from different photoreceptors converges on a single ganglion cell that projects to the lateral geniculate nucleus.
Hair cells in the cochlea are stimulated by sound vibrations over a wide range of frequencies
The stereocilia of any given hair cell respond to one frequency only
Different areas of the basilar membrane resonate at different frequencies such that a sound of a particular frequency causes only a certain region of the membrane to vibrate
The frequency of action potentials in the cochlear nerve varies in proportion to the frequency of a sound stimulus
