| PITCH | SENSATION OF SOUND ENTERING THE EAR |
| REFRACTION | BENDING OF LIGHT AS IT ENTERS THE LENS OF THE EYE |
| RODS | STRUCTURES FOUND IN THE RETINA THAT AID IN DISTINGUISHING SHADOWS |
| SENSATION | STIMULI THAT DIFFERENT RECPTORS TRANSMIT TO THE BRAIN FOR INTERPRETATIOJN |
| SENSORINEURAL | TYPE OF HEARING BEGINS IN THE HAIR CELLS LOCATED INSIDE THE COCHLEA |
| SOMATOSENSORY RECPTORS | SENSORY RECPTORS IN THE SKIN THAT DETECT PAIN HEAT COLD PRESSURE AND VIBRATION |

| MYOPIA | NEARSIGHTEDNESS NEAR OBJECTS ARE SEEN CLEARLY OBJECTS IN DISTANCE ARE BLURRED |

| STRABISMUS | CROSS EYES |
| TINNITUS | RINGING IN THE EARS CAUSED BY DAMAGE TO THE HAIR RECEPTORS IN THE INNER EAR |
| VERTIGO | SENSATION OF MOVING OR SPINNING USUALLY A RESULT OF DISTURBANCE IN THE INNER EAR CAUSING A LOSS OF BALANCE |
