Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The special sense which involves the sensory impulses transmitted over the facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves.
Introduction:
Smell, taste, sight, hearing, and equilibrium are types of special senses. General sensory receptors are widely distributed over the body but special sensory receptors are restricted and confined to the head region. Vision is provided by the eyes, hearing and maintaining balance are functions of the ears, olfaction is done by means of the nose, and taste is perceived by the tongue.
