2. hypothalamus
3. cerebellum
4. midbrain
Visual reflexes in the brain are coordinated by:

The receptors for deep pressure and vibrations are:
1. proprioceptors
2. nociceptors
3. Meissner's corpusles

A proprioceptive sensory receptor organ that senses changes in muscle tension is the
1. Golgi tendon organ
2. muscle spindle
3. Pacinian corpuscle
4. Merkel’s disc
Odors can alter our moods:
1. Because sensory input from olfaction is routed through the limbic system.
2. Because odors act as neurotransmitters and alter brain chemistry.
3. Because odors are satisfying to our sense of hunger.
4. Odors do not alter mood.
The sensory organ of hearing and the receptors are located in:

3. cochlea
4. None
Photoreceptors rods or cones are unique as they are activated by:
