17 Flashcards
types of stimuli
temp, light, chem (specific), pain (nociceptor),
pressure (mechanoreceptors)
general senses distribution
wide (for like pain and shit)
special senses involve
cranial nerves (light sight and taste)
exeroceptors
outside body stimulus
interoceptors
stimulus from organs within the body
proprioceptros
stimulus regarding position of the body
free nerve ending (where and function)
widespread
for pain heat and cold
unencap
tactile disc (where and function)
stratum basale of epidermis
light touch, pressure
unencap
hair receptors (where and what purpose)
hair follicle
light touch
unencapsulated
tactile corpuscles where and why
Encapsulate
fingertips, palms, nipples, genetals
light touch, texture
end bulb where and why
mucous membrane
texture, light touch
encap
bulbous corp
dermis, subcutaneous tissue, joint
heavy pressure/ joint movement
encap
lamellar corpus
dermis, joint capsules, breast, genitals
deep pressure, stretch, tickle, vibration
encap
muscles spindles
skeletal muscles near tendon
tension in muscles
encap
tendon organs
tends
detect stretch, tension
encap
receptive field
area supplied by single neuron (size varies)
more neurons will populate
areas that are more likely to be stimulated more
referred pain
Pain the viscera mistakenly thought to come from more superficial sites
ex heart attack arm pain
pain
noreceptors
modulate by midbrain
filiform
tounge bump
numerous, tiny spikes,
no buds
Foliate
tongue bump
ridges on tongue sides, buds in children
most frequent
Fungiform
tongue bump
mushroom shaped bumps, have buds, bigger
Vallate
tongue bumps
large bumps in a row (v) at the back of the tongue, have buds
taste buds
in vallate papillae
tongue has most, but soft palate, pharynx, epiglottis and cheeks have em
taste cells (in bud)
molecule will enter pore and interact with taste hair (have chemoreceptors) to taste
taste cells how does it send taste
will synapse with sensory nerve to send signals
cranial nerves in gustatory pathway
– Facial (CN VII): anterior
tongue
– Glossopharyngeal (CN IX):
posterior tongue
– Vagus (CN X): palate,
pharynx, epiglottis
gustory order pathway
1st order in mouth to spine
2nd medulla to thalamus
3rd synpase in medulla o to taste region
olfactory mucosa loction
roof of nasal cavity (10-20 million)
binds to molecules to smell
olfactory neurons
hairs bind with sites for order molecules
deliver to olfactory nerve (cn 1)
Olfactory bulbs
– swollen tips of
olfactory tracts at base of frontal
lobes
only sense that doesn’t go thru thalamus
olfactory
olfactory secondary areas
insula,
orbitofrontal cortex, hippocampus,
amygdala, (emo)
hypothalamus
outer ear/ auricle/ pinna
has auditory guard hairs and cerumen (wax)
to funnel sounds to tympanic mem
outer ear parts
- Helix
- Lobule
- Tragus
Middle Ear parts
– Tympanic membrane
– Tympanic cavity
– Auditory (eustachian) tube
– Auditory ossicles:
– Oval window
– Muscles: stapedius, tensor tympani
– Tympanic membrane (eardrum)
vibrates
– Auditory ossicles:
malleus, incus, stapes
vibrate to sound
middle ear muscles and function
stapedius, tensor tympani
contract to prevent ear damage
Oval window
idk vibrates
auditory tube
maintains pressure in ear
otitis media (ear infection)
Respiratory infections spread from throat to tympanic cavity
easier when youre a baby bc mucus travels betta
usally viral
Tympanostomy—
- Tympano = eardrum
- ostomy = making an opening
bony labyrinth
maze in temporal bone
