SENSORY ORGANS ANATOMY. 1  Sensory organs are very highly developed and specialized organs that are an extension of the central nervous system, with a sole function to take in information and relate it to the brain. The sensory neurons are highly adapted to detect changes of both external and internal changes in the environment and report these changes to the brain.
If you break a mercury thermometer or light bulb, a small amount of liquid mercury may spill out. Liquid mercury can separate into small beads, which can roll some distance away. The mercury may also evaporate into vapour. However, this small amount of mercury is extremely unlikely to cause problems for your health.
A blood test can be used to measure exposure to high levels of mercury if you can be tested within three days of being exposed. If a test shows you have mercury poisoning (too much mercury in your body), your doctor can give you drugs that will remove the mercury from your body.Call the Poison Control Center toll-free, 1-800-222-1222, if you or your doctor need help understanding your test results.ffects of mercury: â¢ Cough, sore throat â¢ Shortness of breath â¢ Chest pain â¢ Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea â¢ Increase in blood pressure or heart rate â¢ A metallic taste in the mouth â¢ Eye irritation â¢ Headache â¢ Vision problems â¢ Pregnant women-Mercury can pass from a motherâs body to her develop-ing fetus.
