1. Why do we have senses?

We have senses because they allow us to observe and understand the world
around us.

2. Which areas of the brain receive information from the senses?

Thalamus. Located in the central part of the brain, the thalamus receives
sensory messages, such as touch, from the body, and sends the messages to the
appropriate part of the brain to be interpreted.

3. How does the brain put together information from the senses?
Each of the five senses has its own sensor. Each sensor collects information
about the environment and sends it to the brain. The brain then uses the information
from the senses to help you understand the world around you.

4. How do optical illusions trick the brain?

Make this possible explain? By arranging a series of patterns, images, and
colors strategically, or playing with the way an object is lit, the brain can be tricked into
seeing something that isn't there. How you perceive proportion can also be altered
depending on the nearby known objects.

5. How can we protect ourselves from hearing loss?

1. Turn the volume down.
2. Walk away from the loud noise.
3. Take breaks from the noise.
4. Avoid loud, noisy activities and places.
5. Use hearing protection.

6. How discriminating is the sense of touch?

Tactile Discrimination is the ability to tell what it is you're touching just by your
sense of touch. The tactile sense is part of the neurological sensory system and
discrimination is only one part of the tactile sense.

7. Are there differences in receptive fields on the body?

Receptive field sizes are different among the different mechanoreceptors, but
they also vary among different body regions. Even within one receptor type (e.g.
Meissner corpuscles), receptive fields in regions like the fingers or lips are smaller than
in regions like the back or leg.

8. What is the role of the somatosensory cortex?

The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) plays a critical role in processing
afferent somatosensory input and contributes to the integration of sensory and motor
signals necessary for skilled movement.

9. If you could create an imaginary sense, what would the sense detect, how would it
work, and where would it be found on the body?
The sensation that it would create would be that of being able to witness the
entities or energies present, we could see this type of spirits, the sensory was in the
eyes, this sensory would work every time the body goes into alarm.
