Among the fabrics used in scrubs, cotton remains the finest material. Many doctors and nurses look for scrubs made of 100 percent cotton. This is understandable since the greater the amount of the cotton in the blend, the softer and more comfortable the scrubs will be.
During every moment of an organism's life, sensory information is being taken in by sensory receptors and processed by the nervous system. Sensory information is stored in sensory memory just long enough to be transferred to short-term memory. Humans have five main senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch. Sensory memory (SM) allows individuals to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimulus has ceased.
The sensory function of the nervous system involves collecting information from sensory receptors that monitor the bodyâs internal and external conditions. These signals are then passed on to the central nervous system (CNS) for further processing by afferent neurons (and nerves).
