🗑
the ___ nerve is considered an accessory part of the vagus   Accessory  
🗑
what nerve comes from the spinal cord?   accessory nerve  
🗑
touch, pressure and pain are examples of a ___ receptor.   exteroceptors  
🗑
chemical change and tissue stretch are examples of what type of receptor?   interoceptors  
🗑
this receptor activity can cause us to feel pain, thirst or hunger.   interoceptor  
🗑
this receptor occurs in skeletal muscle, tendons, joints & ligaments.   propioceptors  
🗑
sensation   awareness of stimulus  
🗑
perception   interpretation of stimulus  
🗑
perception determines:   how we will respond  
🗑

🗑
we all have the same pain threshold it is our ___ ___ that differs   pain tolerance  
🗑
sensory perception includes:   pattern recognition, magnitude estimation, feature abstraction & spacial discrimination  
🗑
groups of cell bodies in the PNS are called:   ganglia  
🗑

🗑
sensory neuron   transmit afferent impulses to CNS  
🗑
integration center   relays the info  
🗑
motor neuron   conducts efferent impulses from integration center to effector organ  
🗑
effector   responds to motor impulses by contracting or secreting  
🗑
the nervous system needs to know what 2 things to coordinate the activity of skeletal muscles?   length of muscle & muscle tension  
🗑
the length of the muscle comes from muscle spindles which:   causes contraction  
🗑
the amount of tension in muscle comes from tendon organs which causes:   muscle relaxation  
🗑
