Abstract

The special senses are a surprisingly complex topic in human physiology courses. They are also the perfect topic to integrate hands-on activities and demonstrations. These activities and demonstrations allow students to explore specific concepts of sensory physiology related to touch, taste, olfaction, vision, and hearing.
