WebQuest – Human Senses and the Brain Name: Pd: Directions: Follow the steps below to answer each question. Function of the Brain Type or click on the link below to go to pbs tour of the brain web site http://tr.im/48n98 Or you can type inhttp://www.pbs.org/wnet/brain/3d/index.html Explore the brain by function and answer the following questions. 1. Vision. a. In terms of vision, nerve impulses travel along the retina through the to the brains visual processing centers in the lobe. What area contains more neurons than the rest of the brain put together? 2. Hearing. a. The nerve conducts impulses from the Organ of Corti in the ear to the cortex in the lobe. 3. Smell. a. What travels through the air that we actually smell? b. What is different about olfactory senses as opposed to other senses? c. The impulses travel directly to the centers of the cerebral . d. Signals travel along the the nerve to the bulb of system. Continued on next page Created by J. Perry & K. Weiner page 1 Revised :5/7/17 4. Touch. a.
