Function: Hearing. Transforms the sound in mechanical vibrations into neural signals.

Function: Gustation. Detects taste through taste buds that sense sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.

Function: Acute Vision. A small depression in the retina where visual acuity is highest due to the concentration of cones.

Function: Olfaction. Sensitive to airborne chemicals, enabling the sense of smell.

Function: Focus. Adjusts the focus of light onto the retina, allowing us to see both near and distant objects clearly.

Function: Deep Pressure and Vibration. Detects vibrations and deep pressure stimuli within the skin and joints.

Function: Balance. Detects head movements and is involved in maintaining balance and equilibrium.

Function: Light Touch. Sensitive to light touch and vibrations, particularly in fingertips and lips.

Function: Hearing and Balance. Detect sound waves and head position/movement, converting them into nerve signals.

Function: Touch. Contains receptors for pressure, temperature, pain, and touch sensations.

Function: Smell Detection. Specialized cells that bind to odor molecules and send signals to the olfactory bulb.

Function: Sound Signal Transmission. Carries auditory information from the cochlea to the brain.

Function: Pain Detection. Sensory receptors located in skin, joints, and organs that signal the presence of tissue damage.

Function: Image Detection. Contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that capture light and begin the process of visual perception.

Function: Taste Sensation. Houses gustatory cells that respond to chemical stimuli from food, contributing to the sense of taste.

Function: Light Refraction. The clear front layer of the eye that helps focus incoming light onto the retina.

Function: Visual Signal Transmission. Carries visual information from the retina to the brain for interpretation.

Function: Smell Processing. Receives neural input about odors detected by cells in the nasal cavity.

Function: Central Vision. Contains a high density of cones for sharp, detailed central vision.
