What to Focus On

  • Sense organs receive external or internal changes and are called receptors.
  • A stimulus is a change that produces a response.
  • A response happens only after the brain receives information and sends instructions.
  • Eyes are photoreceptors.
  • About one-fifth of the eyeball is visible externally.
  • Six ocular muscles keep each eye in position.
  • The eye wall has three coats: outer fibrous, middle vascular, and inner nervous.
  • Sclera is the white part and protects the eyeball.
  • Cornea is transparent, has no blood supply, and allows light to enter.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All receptors are sense organs on the outside of the body.

A stimulus is the response of the body.

The eye sees directly because the image formed on the retina is upright.

Memory Tips

Sense organs as receptors, stimulus, effector, and response

Exteroceptors and interoceptors

Mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors

Mechanoreceptors in ears and skin
