Anatomy of Special Senses Module

The document discusses the special senses - sight, smell, taste, hearing, and equilibrium. It defines the special senses as localized clusters of receptors or complex sensory organs, unlike the general senses of touch that are widely distributed. The special senses have distinct structures - the eyes and ears are large organs, while taste buds and the olfactory epithelium are clusters of receptors. The module will cover the functional anatomy and physiology of each special sense organ.
