Whereas the former is fully operational alone, the latter requires additional systems for transduction of mechanical energy (sound waves) into bioelectric signals. These systems are situated in the anatomical units called external and middle ear.

This difference, however, is not as sharp as it appears because in both cases the molecules are ultimately dissolved in a mucous film overlying the receptor cells. If an

Taste signals trigger a host of behavioral and autonomic responses, appetitive or aversive, most of which are visceral reflexes (salivation, gastrointestinal activation, swallowing, gagging, vomiting), or

First, we provide a general survey of the receptors discussed, then we describe the skin as a specific organ of sense, followed by the neural pathways of tactile sensation as exemplified by the mystacial vibrissae.
