Receptors for the special senses are limited to the
A) head.
B) tongue.
C) ears.
D) feet.
E) abdomen.

Accepted Answer

Receptors for special senses, such as vision, hearing, taste, and smell, are located in the head. The tongue is involved in the sense of taste, but this is just one of the special senses. The ears are involved in the sense of hearing and balance, but again, this is just one of the special senses. The feet and abdomen do not contain receptors for any of the special senses.
