Document Summary
Information is the input received by the human via the senses. The sensors can be classified according to the source of the stimulus and the location of the sensor. Those located in the eyes, ears and nose the provide information concerning environmental changes that take place at a distance from the body. Those located in the skin that provide information concerning changes immediately adjacent to the body (ex, someone is touching you) Those located in the visceral organs that tell us about changes in the internal organs: ex, the feeling of your stomach dropping while on a roller coaster. Those found in the muscles, tendons, joints and ear that provide info concerning movement in the body and the position of the body in space: ex, muscle spindles and golgi tendons. More is known about the visual system than any of the other senses. Provides info about objects that are distal to the body (cid:523)don(cid:495)t need to be touched to.
