  • Outer ear
    The outer ear is the external portion of the ear, which consists of the auricle (also pinna) and the ear canal.
  • Receptive field
    The receptive field of an individual sensory neuron is the particular region of the sensory space (e.g., the body surface, or the visual field) in which a stimulus will trigger the firing of that neuron.
  • Lamellar corpuscle
    Lamellar corpuscles, or Pacinian corpuscles, are one of the four major types of mechanoreceptor.
  • Posterior chamber of eyeball
    The posterior chamber is a narrow space behind the peripheral part of the iris, and in front of the suspensory ligament of the lens and the ciliary processes.
  • Tactile corpuscle
    Tactile corpuscles (or Meissner's corpuscles) are a type of mechanoreceptor.
  • Corpuscles of Herbst
    The corpuscles of Herbst or Herbst corpuscles are nerve-endings similar to the Pacinian corpuscle, found in the mucous membrane of the tongue, in pits on the beak and in other parts of the bodies of birds.
  • Tactile corpuscles of Grandry
    The tactile corpuscles of Grandry (or bulboid corpuscle) occur in the papillæ of the beak and tongue of birds.
  • Inner ear
    The inner ear (internal ear, auris interna) is the innermost part of the vertebrate ear.
  • Middle ear
    The middle ear is the portion of the ear internal to the eardrum, and external to the oval window of the inner ear.
  • Tongue
    The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth of most vertebrates that manipulates food for mastication, and is used in the act of swallowing.
  • Vomeronasal organ
    The vomeronasal organ (VNO), or the Jacobson's organ, is an auxiliary olfactory sense organ that is found in many animals.
  • Cercus
    Cerci (singular cercus) are paired appendages on the rear-most segments of many Arthropoda, including insects and Symphyla.
  • Muscle spindle
    Muscle spindles are sensory receptors within the belly of a muscle that primarily detect changes in the length of this muscle.
  • Bulbous corpuscle
    The Bulbous corpuscle or Ruffini ending or Ruffini corpuscle is a slowly adapting mechanoreceptor found in the cutaneous tissue of humans.
  • Electroreception
    Electroreception is the biological ability to perceive natural electrical stimuli.
  • Golgi tendon organ
    The Golgi organ (also called Golgi tendon organ, GTO, tendon organ, neurotendinous organ or neurotendinous spindle) is a proprioceptive sensory receptor organ that senses changes in muscle tension.
  • Human nose
    The visible part of the human nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils.
  • Semicircular canals
    The semicircular canals or semicircular ducts are three semicircular, interconnected tubes located in the innermost part of each ear, the inner ear.
  • Optic cup (anatomical)
    The optic cup is the white, cup-like area in the center of the optic disc.
  • Anatomy of the human nose
    The visible part of the human nose is the protruding part of the face that bears the nostrils.
