Summary Introduction

To describe: Integration of sensory information.

Introduction: The sensory system, which is a part of the nervous system, helps animals to interact with their environment and to explore it. It helps in recognizing environmental stimuli, which may be dangerous to it. The systems for vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, and balance are part of the sensory system. By sensory processing, the brain interprets the information collected by these sensory receptors, to produce an appropriate output.
