Abstract

Among the most complex of mammalian organs are the special sensory organs, engendering great sensitivity to toxicologic assault. Humans and other animals have developed sophisticated mechanisms to prevent the special sensory organs from injury by blood-borne toxins. Despite the development of this “blood–organ barrier,” certain toxins are characteristically capable of gaining access to the organs and causing injury. Furthermore, given their obligatory exposure to the environment, these organs remain susceptible to external chemical assault.
