Neural Integration I: Sensory Pathways and the Somatic Nervous System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Motor neurons and pathways that control skeletal muscles | Somatic Nervous System |
| Where you are in terms of space | Proprioception |
| The arriving information from these senses | Sensation |
| Conscious awareness of a sensation | Perception |
| Special Senses | Olfaction, Vision, Gustation, Equilibrium, Hearing |
| Smell | Olfaction |
| Taste | Gustation |
| Temperature sensations that are conducted along the same pathway that carry pain sensations | Thermoreceptors |
| Where you feel a diaphragm injury | Shoulder |
| Where you can feel chest pain | Your arm |
| Where you will feel a stomach ulcer | Above your bellybutton |
| Where most somatic sensory information is relayed to for processing | thalamus |
| Where a small fraction of the arriving information is projected to and how it reaches our awareness | The cerebral cortex |
| SNS | the somatic motor system |
| Controls the contractions of skeletal muscles | SNS |
| ANS | the visceral motor system |
| controls visceral effectors, such as smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands | ANS |
| monitors propioceptive sensation, visual information from the eyes, and vestibular sensations from inner ear as movements are under way | The cerebellum |
| Feeling the pain of one body part in another part of your body | Referred pain |
| an example of this is when you grab a hot pan and you quickly drop it | Conscious Perception |
