CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF
THE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL
SUBCOURSE MD0582
THE SENSORY SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The sensory system by which we see, smell, taste, and hear is often taken for
granted until we lose one or more of these senses. From the time we are born, our
senses shape our view of the world and transmit those impulses to the brain which
trigger an adaptive response. The importance of becoming familiar with the sensory
structures is fundamental to the Medical NCO due to the structures' innate sensitivity
and key role in daily life.
Subcourse Components :
The subcourse instructional material consists of four lessons as follows:
Lesson 1, Anatomy and Physiology of the Sensory System.
Lesson 2, Physical Assessment of the Sensory System.
Lesson 3, EENT Diseases and Disorders.
Lesson 4, HEENT Trauma.
Here are some suggestions that may be helpful to you in completing this
subcourse:
--Read and study each lesson carefully.
--Complete the subcourse lesson by lesson. After completing each lesson, work
the exercises at the end of the lesson, marking your answers in this booklet.
--After completing each set of lesson exercises, compare your answers with those
on the solution sheet that follows the exercises. If you have answered an exercise
incorrectly, check the reference cited after the answer on the solution sheet to
determine why your response was not the correct one.
