What does the system do when it detects changes in color and object movement?

1) Provides information about moving or stationary objects that could be threats along the intended path of travel
2) Detects changes in sound and temperature
3) Provides information about the weather conditions
4) Detects changes in speed and direction of moving objects

Final answer:

The system provides information about moving or stationary objects that could be threats, using vision to detect changes in color and movement. Our sensory system perceives true colors under different lighting and analyzes the speed and direction of objects, all facilitated by sensory transduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the system detects changes in color and object movement, it provides information about moving or stationary objects that could be threats along the intended path of travel. This involves vision, which is the ability to detect light patterns from the environment and interpret them into images for the organism to respond appropriately. Our sensory system, specifically for vision, uses color constancy to perceive the true color of an object under varying lighting conditions by comparing the object with its surroundings, further analyzing the speed, velocity, and acceleration of moving objects.

The sensory systems including olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), equilibrium (balance and body position), vision, and hearing, convert stimuli into electrical signals in the nervous system through sensory transduction. The visual system of humans is advanced with about one-third of the human cerebral cortex dedicated to visual information analysis and perception, signifying the importance of vision for our interaction with the environment.
