Diagram 6: The World Through Our Senses

This document discusses how humans and plants sense and respond to stimuli through various sensory organs and systems. It provides examples of phototropism in plants, touch sensation in human skin, and vision through the human eye. Multiple choice questions are included about the sensory organs that detect touch and pressure, the response of plant shoots to light, the path of a nerve impulse after stimulation, and factors that cause the pupil to change size. Diagrams show the formation of images on the retina and how short-sightedness occurs.
