Abstract

The sensory receptors existing in animals, contact point between the external physic world and the nervous system, allow uptake and transduction of all kind of environmental stimuli, be it electromagnetic waves, mechanic waves or molecules (chemical stimuli). Transduction mechanisms from different sensory modalities will be reviewed, along with the brain areas involved in primary processing of environmental stimuli, yet pointing relationships of habitat and life-style of different organisms with its sensory systems.
