Class Summary - Today we talked about touch. We talked about the 5 receptors (mechanorecpetors, thermoreceptors, photoreceptors, nociceptors, and chemoreceptors) which is a review from last unit. We talked about how general sensory receptors are categorized into three categories; proprioreceptors - muscle - balance and equilibrium, cutaneous receptors - skin - several types, touch and pressure, and pain receptors - skin and internal organs - pain. Then, students were to complete a worksheet on the ear and the eye anatomy. The worksheet focuses on identifying main features of both ear and eye, and naming those feature's functions. Homework - Ear and Eye WS Due Monday, Textbook Quiz 9.3 Monday

Students will relate specific sensory receptors in the skin to particular sense of the skin. Students will discuss the phenomenon of referred pain. Students will describe the anatomy of the eye and give a function of each part. Students will describe the anatomy of the ear and give a function for each
