Question

Eyes, ears, nose, and taste buds are all examples of _______.
A) sense organs
B) proprioceptors
C) stimuli
D) sensory adaptors

Accepted Answer

Sense organs are specialized structures that detect stimuli and convert them into signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. Eyes, ears, nose, and taste buds are all examples of sense organs. Proprioceptors are specialized sensors located in muscles, tendons, and joints that provide information about body position and movement. Stimuli are any detectable changes in the environment that trigger a response in an organism. Sensory adaptors are receptors that modify their sensitivity to a stimulus over time.
