Senses, physiology

Time is readily sensed physiologically, and the so-called flow of time is measured by the regularity of motions and changes occurring within and around us. Plato s interpretation of Heraclitus analogy of fife to a river is that all things are in flux. We are immersed in a universe of processes that act as clocks, and even in solitude, we can still sense heartbeat, pulse, heat flow and the motions of other internal processes. Consciousness itself appears... 

To solve the problem presented above, two convergent strategies have been followed (1) to demonshate whether chemosensory nerve endings can sense physiological chemical stimuli when separated from glomus cells, and (2) to find out if chemoreception fails after destruction of glomus cells.
