Anatomy and Physiology of Special Sensory Organs
Sensory organs can be labeled as special sensory structures that permit sight, hearing, odor, and flavor. Sensory structures permitting proprioception, touch, thermal, and pain perception can be classified as more advanced sensory organs. The sensory neurons are trained to find out modifications in the external and internal conditions so that a person's body can react to that change. A stimulus is the first signal that is recognized by any sensory receptor of the body. Stimulus is an impulse generated when there is a change in the surroundings of a person. For example, a heated environment will alert the brain through the thermal sensory organs and generate a reflex accordingly.
Sensory Receptors
The human sensory system is one of the most complex and highly evolved structures, which processes a myriad of incoming messages. This well-coordinated system helps an organism or individual to respond to external stimuli, appropriately. The sensory receptors are an important part of the sensory system. These receptors are specialized epidermal cells that respond to external environmental stimuli. These receptors consist of structural and support cells that form the peripheral unit of the receptor and the neural dendrites which receive and detect the external stimuli.
![### Typical Ionic Concentrations
**Question:**
Based on this chart, which way will sodium be pumped?
**Table: Ionic Concentrations**
| | Squid Giant Axon | Frog Sartorius Muscle | Human Red Blood Cell |
|---------------------|-------------------|------------------------|----------------------|
| **Intracellular** | | | |
| Na⁺ (Sodium) | 50 | 13 | 19 |
| K⁺ (Potassium) | 397 | 138 | 136 |
| Cl⁻ (Chloride) | 40 | 3 | 78 |
| **Extracellular** | | | |
| Na⁺ (Sodium) | 437 | 110 | 155 |
| K⁺ (Potassium) | 20 | 2.5 | 5 |
| Cl⁻ (Chloride) | 556 | 90 | 112 |
**Options:**
- Sodium is at equilibrium
- Into the cell
- Out of the cell
- Sodium cannot cross the membrane
**Explanation:**
The table shows the concentrations of three types of ions: Sodium (Na⁺), Potassium (K⁺), and Chloride (Cl⁻), both intracellularly and extracellularly across three different cell types: Squid Giant Axon, Frog Sartorius Muscle, and Human Red Blood Cell. The concentrations are measured in typical units and can help determine the direction of ion movement based on concentration gradients.
For instance, sodium concentrations are higher extracellularly than intracellularly across all three cell types, suggesting that sodium will be pumped out of the cell against its concentration gradient.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F53ee66c5-92fc-4868-ac88-c55611510c09%2Fa5808c89-1509-43c2-ba44-4dac894463a1%2Fjnazwj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
