Vision Source
Light waves striking the eye; Receptors: Rods and cones in the retina; Key Brain Areas: Occipital lobes
Hearing Source
Sound waves striking the outer and inner ear; Receptors: Cochlear hair cells (cilia); Key Brain Areas: Temporal lobes
Touch Source
Pressure, warmth, cold, harmful chemicals; Receptors: Pain-sensitive nociceptors and other skin receptors; Key Brain Areas: Somatosensory cortex
Taste Source
Chemical molecules in the mouth; Receptors: Basic taste receptors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami, oleogustus); Key Brain Areas: Frontal/temporal lobe border
Smell Source
Chemical molecules breathed in through the nose; Receptors: Millions of receptors at top of nasal cavities; Key Brain Areas: Olfactory bulb
Kinesthesis Source
Any change in position of a body part (with vision); Receptors: Kinesthetic sensors in joints, tendons, and muscles (proprioceptors); Key Brain Areas: Cerebellum
Vestibular Sense Source
Head/body movement; Receptors: Hair-like receptors in inner ear semicircular canals and vestibular sacs; Key Brain Areas: Cerebellum
