Senses and sense organs ：練習問題

Sound is produced by vibrations. Which part of the human ear contains the specialized sensory cells that detect these vibrations and send signals to the brain?

Which of the following statements about sight is correct based on the study material?

When we perceive the world around us, our brain constantly interprets sensory information. Occasionally, this interpretation can lead to optical illusions where what we see does not accurately reflect reality. Consider the Müller-Lyer illusion, where two lines of the same length appear different due to the direction of arrowheads at their ends.

Which of the following statements provides the most comprehensive explanation for why such optical illusions occur?

Which of the following is the specific stimulus detected by the specialized sensory cells located in the cochlea of the human ear?

Which of the following statements best describes the role of the brain in the process of sensing the environment?

Name one type of specialized sensory cell found in the human body and state the type of stimulus it detects.

Explain how the brain acts as a coordinator when we move, by using information from both the eyes and the inner ear to maintain balance.

When watching a 3D movie, some people experience motion sickness despite not physically moving. Explain how the brain's interpretation of visual information from the 3D movie can conflict with signals from other sense organs, leading to this feeling of disorientation.
