Sense organs are transducers that convert data from the outer physical world to the realm of the mind where people interpret the information, creating their perception of the world around them. [ 1 ] The receptive field is the area of the body or environment to which a receptor organ and receptor cells respond.
Sensory organs are organs that sense and transduce stimuli. Humans have various sensory organs (i.e. eyes, ears, skin, nose, and mouth) that correspond to a respective visual system (sense of vision), auditory system (sense of hearing), somatosensory system (sense of touch), olfactory system (sense of smell), and gustatory system (sense of taste).
Gyanendriya is the organ of perception, the faculty of perceiving through the senses. The first five of the seventeen elements of the subtle body are the "organs of perception" or "sense organs". [2] According to Hinduism and Vaishnavism there are five gyanendriya or "sense organs" – ears, skin, eyes, tongue and nose. [2]
The antennal Johnston's organ in swarming Diptera (e.g. midges and mosquitos) may contain tens of thousands of scolopophorous sense cells, which are grouped by two's or three's into individual scolopidia. [2] The high number of scolopidia in Johnston's organ provides an evolutionary advantage in acoustically identifying and locating mates.
Building and maintaining sense organs is metabolically expensive. More than half the brain is devoted to processing sensory information, and the brain itself consumes roughly one-fourth of one's metabolic resources. Thus, such organs evolve only when they provide exceptional benefits to an organism's fitness. [83]
Taste bud. The gustatory system or sense of taste is the sensory system that is partially responsible for the perception of taste. [1] Taste is the perception stimulated when a substance in the mouth reacts chemically with taste receptor cells located on taste buds in the oral cavity, mostly on the tongue.
Tanmatras (Sanskrit: तन्मात्र = tanmātra) are rudimentary, undifferentiated, subtle elements from which gross elements are produced. [1] There are five sense perceptions – hearing, touch, sight, taste and smell – and there are five tanmatras corresponding to those five sense perceptions and the five sense-organs.
