The Nervous System

        Help!  

Question
Answer
General Senses   Touch, Pressure, Stretch, Hot, Cold and Pain. Receptors for general senses are located thru out the body  
🗑
Thermoreceptors   Temperature  
🗑
Nociceptors   Pain receptors, respond to tissue injury  
🗑
Mechanoreceptors   Touch, vibration, stretch and pressure  
🗑
Receptors in the Skin   Free nerve ending, Tactile corpuscles, Hair receptors, Lamellar corpuscles, Bulbous corpuscles and Tactile disk  
🗑
Free Nerve Ending   Dendrites with no associated with connective tissue, Widspread, Respond to heat, cold and pain  
🗑
Tactile Corpuscles   Mechanoreceptor for light, toch and texture(the difference between silk and sand paper)  
🗑
Hair Recptors   Mechanoreceptors for any light touch that bends the hair  
🗑
Lamellar Corpuscles   Mechanoreceptors for deep pressure(something smashing you), stretch and vibration  
🗑
Bulbous Corpuscles   Mechanorecptorss for heavy touch, pressure and stretching of the skin  
🗑
Tactile Disk   Mechanoreceptor for light touch  
🗑
General Senses in the Skin   Neurons for general senses send messages on the type of touch were receiving(hot,deep,stretch), location, intensity and thr duration of the sensation  
🗑
Cranial Nerve General Senses   Responsible for sensation related to our head  
🗑
Spinal Nerve General Senses   Responsible for sensation below the head  
🗑
Referred Pain   Pain signals from the internal organs often follow the same pathways as skin receptors. not actually felt in the organ  
🗑
Sensation Messages   Sent to the Hypothalamus or Amygdala may initiate an emotional response  
🗑
Special Senses located in the head   Taste, Smell, Hearing, Equilibrium and vision  
🗑
Smell   Bipolar Neuron in shape, Olfactory cell, that stick out the mucosa in the nasal cavitiy thru the cribiform plate to the brain.  
🗑
Olfactory Hairs in Mucosa   Are Chemoreceptors  
🗑
Phyiology of Smell   The pathway for smells involves the olfactory nerve and does not go thru the thalamus on its way to the frontal lobe  
🗑
Pathway for Smell   Bipolar Neuron- CNI- Temporal Lobe(general sensory area) to the Frontal Lobe(decision area) or Hypothalamus and amygdala( emotional response)  
🗑
Taste   sense organ is the taste bud  
🗑
Taste Buds   Located mostly on the tongue and contain different cells. within taste buds are taste hairs that are chemoreceptors  
🗑
Basal Cells in Taste Bud   Stem cells that replace dead taste cells  
🗑
Support Cells   Physically support the 50-150 taste cells in each taste bud  
🗑
Primary Taste   Salt,sweet,sour,bitter and umani (delicious)  
🗑
Interperting Taste   80% smell  
🗑
Pathway for Taste   3 Cranial nerve- Medulla Oblongata- to the pons, midbrain, thalamus, to the parietal lobe or to the hypothalamus and amygala  
🗑
Hearing   The ear can be divided into 3 sections: External ear, the middle ear and the inner ear  
🗑
External Ear 2 Parts   Pinna and External Auditory Canal  
🗑
Pinna/Auricle (fleshy part)   Funnel like structure made of cartliage and skin, attached to side of head  
🗑
External Auditory Canal   Short tube extending from pinna to eardrum, has ceruminous glands  
🗑
Cerumen   Ear wax  
🗑
Sound Waves   Hit the pinna enter the auditory canal to the middle ear  
🗑
Middle Ear 4 components   Typanic Membrane(Eardrum), Typanic Cavity, Auditory Tube and Ear Ossicles  
🗑
Typanic Membrane   Stretched piece of membrane inside the auditory canal, outside covered in skin inside covered in mucous membrane  
🗑
Typanic Cavity   Filled with air in the temporal bone, helps to process sound  
🗑
Auditory Tube   Connects typanic cavity with the pharynx, equalizing air pressure behind the ear so the eardrum can function properly  
🗑
Ear Ossicles   3 tiny bones Mallus, Incus and Stapes interact with eachother to transmit sound waves  
🗑
Vibrations from Typanic Membrane   Pass from the Malleus(takes sounds from the typanic membrane) to the Incus to the Stapes then vibrates on the oval window of inner ear  
🗑
Inner Ear   2 series of tubes and chambers one inside the other.  
🗑
   
🗑
