This document provides an overview of the human senses and the anatomy and physiology of sensory systems. It begins with defining sensation and perception. The characteristics of sensation are then described, including projection, intensity, contrast, adaptation, and after images. The general and special senses are classified. The different types of sensory receptors are defined, including mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors. Details are then provided on the specific sensory systems, including touch, pain, smell, taste, vision, and hearing. For each system, the receptors, transduction processes, pathways, and brain processing are summarized. Diagrams are included to illustrate key anatomical structures.
