Video: The Sensory System: Definition, Parts & Functions. This lesson will examine how the sensory systems are integrated and how they function as a whole. Instead of telling you ears hear and eyes see, we will examine how these systems are actually very similar in terms of reception, signals, and translations.
Mercury is a silvery-white metal element that is liquid at ordinary room temperature; it has no taste or smell. It occurs as metallic mercury (Hg), as cinnabar (HgS) and in perhaps 25 other in organic mineral compounds. The elemental form (Hg) vaporizes at any temperature down to almost 40Â° below zero. The vapor also has no taste or smell. The specific gravity of mercury is 13.546; therefore, it is heavier than lead and, like lead and other heavy metals, it is a potent poison. Exposure to metallic mercury or mercury compounds, even in small quantities over a period of time, can cause severe poisoning.
If heroin is like other opiates, it's probably bitter. If you had a bag of unidentified powder, and knew for certain that it was either heroin or (say) flour, then you could probably identify it by taste.The general problem of identifying an unknown powder is very stupid to solve by taste.eroin does have a taste but I can't explain it completely different from coke, a little bitter with a hint of vinegar and that's also what it smells like. It also has a different look and consistency. Quote: Originally Posted by aldiboronti. I've seen it a hundred times on cop shows and in the movies.
