Sensory systems
  1. Sensory system function
    1. Sensory receptors
      1. Specialized cells that convert sensory energy into neural activity
        1. Receptors are energy filters

          1. Vision
            1. Light is converted to chemical energy
              1. Uses photoreceptors
              2. Audition
