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
