Question
Answer
What do sensory receptors change senstory stimuli into   Nerve Signals  
🗑
What do the components of the brain interact to do?   Receive sensory input Integrate and Store info Transmit Motor Responses  
🗑
Sensation   Conscious or Unconscious awareness of external or Internal Stimuli  
🗑
Superficial Sensation   AKA Ecteroreceptive Sensation Includes Touch, Pain, Temperature from the surface of the body  
🗑
Deep Sensation   Includes muscle fascia, bone and joint pain, vibration, pressure and propicoeption  
🗑
General Senses   Touch, Pain, Itch, Tickle, Vibration and Pressure  
🗑
Special Senses   Vision, Smell, Taste hearing and equilibrium  
🗑
4 components to perceive a sensation   1. Stimulation of the reception filed 2. Transduction of the stimulus 3. Impulse Generation and Conduction 4.Integration of Sensroy input  
🗑
Stimulation of the receptive field (1)   With approrpriate quality and strength will cause the sensory neuron to initiate a nerve impulse  
🗑
Transduction of the stimulius (2)   conversion  
🗑
Impulse Generation and Conduction (3)   From PNS - CNS  
🗑
1ST order neuron   conducts impulse from spmatoreceptros from brain to spinal cord  
🗑
2ND Order Neruon   Conducts impulse from somatosensoryreceptros to thalmus  
🗑
3RD order Neuron   Conducts impulse from thalamus to somatosenroy cortex, where conscious perception of sensation is located (3 synapses)  
🗑
Free Nerve Endings   found everywhere in the body  
🗑
Encapsulated Nerve Endingds   Found in non hairy parts of the skin  
🗑
Separate Cells   located in sense organs ex. eyes ears  
🗑
Exterorecetors   receptors to general and special sense , located on the surface of the body  
🗑
Interoreceptors   located in the blood  
🗑
Propireceptors   Located in muscles tendons joints stimulated by movement  
🗑
Thermoreceptors   Detect cahnge in temperature  
🗑
nocireceptors   detect chemical/physical damage to tissue  
🗑
pHOTORECEPTROS   DETECT light on retina  
🗑
Chemoreceptros   Detect taste in mouth  
🗑
Tactile Sensation   stimulation of receptors in skin tissues right beneath the skin  
🗑
Vibration   caused by rapid repetitive sensory signals  
🗑
Itch/Tickle   from receptors in superficial layer by release of bradykimin  
🗑
Messiners Corpuscles   encapsulated nerve endings that elicit large myelinated sensory nerve fibers  
🗑
Merkels Disk   Flattened dendrites of sensory neurons Allows you to determine continuous touch against skin  
🗑
Ruffini's End Organ   Deep layers of dermis/ fast adapting -determines heavy continuous touch and pressure  
🗑
Lamellated   -Stimulated by rapid tissue movement -Detects vibrations and other extreme changes  
🗑
Crude Touch   knowing something has touched the skin  
🗑
Fine TOuch   Ability to recgonize exact location, shape size and texture of stimulus  
🗑
What is the only sensation you can elicit on yourself   Tickle  
🗑
An itch sensation alerts attention to a _____ stimulus on the skin surface, which -elicts the ____ reflex to rid the irritant   1. Mild 2. Scratch  
🗑
If the scratch reflex is strong what receptors are stimulated?   Pain  
🗑
Phantom Pain   Sensation of pain in an amoutated limb --> brain neurons are still active  
🗑
Mechanoreceptors   detect environment changes  
🗑
Pain   protective mechanism when tissues are being damaged  
🗑
Fast Pain   .1 second after stimulus (acute and sharp)  
🗑
Slow pain   1. second after stimulus and increases over seconds. (throb, burning)  
🗑
Somatic Pain   Superficial: skin receptors Deep: Skeletal muscles and tendons  
🗑
Visceral Pain   comes from the internal organs. nociceptors send signals to the spinal cord and brain when damage is detected -- feels originated from skin  
🗑
Referred Pain   pain being felt in an area away from the actual source of the pain.  
🗑
Joint Kinesthetic Receptors   Respond to pressure around synovial joints, within the CT. Responds to excelleration and deceleration movements of joints  
🗑
Muscle Spindle Apparatus   Stimulated bu motor neurons to provide feedback on the degree of muscle stretching  
🗑
Golgi Tendon Organs   Protect tendons and muscles from damage by decreasing muscle tension  
🗑
Posterior Column medial lemomisus pathway to the cortex   impulses conducted along this pathway are concerned with fine touch, proprioception, and vibratory sensations  
🗑
Gracile Fasciculus and Cuneate Fasciculus   Ascending tracts from white matter  
🗑
Posterior Pathway to the cortex   1st neuron -SC- medulla -2nd neurons- either gracile or cuneate fasiculi-either the gracile /cuneate nucleus -crossing over (decussating) in the medulla- medial lemniscus-Thalamus -- 3rd neurons-primary somatosensory cortex-perception of the sensation  
🗑
ANTERIOLATERAL   Mainly carry pain and temperature impulses  
🗑
Syphilis   Causes a progrssive degeneration of the posterior spinal cord  
🗑
Syphalis Organism   Treponema Pallidum Symptoms: uncoordinated gait, paralysis and insanity  
🗑
