discrimination.
17-2 Describe the sensory organs of taste, trace the
gustatory pathways to their destinations in the brain,
and explain the physiological basis of gustatory discrimination.
17-3 Identify the internal and accessory structures of the eye,
and explain the functions of each.
17-4 Explain color and depth perception, describe how light stimulates the
