Each sense receptor responds to different inputs called
stimuli
. These can be classified as electromagnetic, mechanical, or chemical. The receptor transmits them as
signals
that travel along nerve cells to the
heart
. The signals are then processed, resulting in immediate behaviors or memories. For example,
mechanical
stimuli (light intensity and color) are received by the eye;
mechanical
stimuli (sound waves) are received by the hair cells of the inner ear; more
mechanical
stimuli (pressure) are received by the skin; and
chemical
stimuli (foods) are received by the various taste buds.
