Sensory System
The sensory system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory receptors, neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception. The sensory system by which we see, smell, taste, and hear is often taken for granted until we lose one or more of these senses. From the time we are born, our senses shape our view of the world and transmit those impulses to the brain which trigger an adaptive response.
