ANAPHY M6 Flashcards
-Contribute to homeostasis by protecting the body
and helping regulate body temperature
- Allows to sense pleasurable, painful, and other
stimuli in your external environment
- Includes the skin, hair, oil, and sweat glands, nails,
and sensory receptors
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
largest organof the human body
SKIN
Arise from stimulation of sensory receptors embedded in the subcutaneous layer in mucous membranes of the mouth, vagina, ananus; and skeletal muscle tendons,and joints.
- Distributed in the body unevenly
● Highest inthetipof the tongue, lips and
fingertips
Somatic Sensations
Four Modalities of Somatic Sensations
● Tactile
● Thermal
● Pain
● Proprioceptive
Capsule surrounds mass of modified Schwann cells and nerve endings in dermal papillae of hairless skin
SENSATIONS
Onset of touch and low- frequency vibrations
ADAPTATION RATE
Rapid
TACTILE CORPUSCLES (MEISSNER CORPUSCLES)
Free nerve endings wrapped around hair follicles in skin
HAIR ROOT PLEXUSES
Saucer-shaped free nerve endings make contact with tactile epithelial cells in epidermis
SENSATIONS
Movements on skin surface that disturb hairs
ADAPTATION RATE
Rapid
TYPE I CUTANEOUS MECHANORECEPTORS (TACTILE DISCS)
Elongated capsule surrounds nerve endings and Schwann cells deep in dermis and in ligaments and tendons
SENSATIONS
Continuous touch and pressure
ADAPTATION RATE
Slow
TYPE II CUTANEOUS MECHANORECEPTORS (RUFFINI CORPUSCLES)
Oval, layered capsule surrounds nerve endings; present in dermis and subcutaneous tissue, submucosal tissues, joints, periosteum, and some viscera
SENSATIONS
High-frequency vibrations
ADAPTATION RATE
Rapid
LAMELLATED (PACINIAN) CORPUSCLES
Free nerve endings in skin and mucous membranes.
SENSATIONS
Itching and tickling.
ADAPTATION RATE
Both slow and rapid
ITCH AND TICKLE RECEPTORS
Free nerve endings in skin and mucous membranes of mouth, vagina, and anus
SENSATIONS
Warmth or cold.
ADAPTATION RATE
Initially rapid, then slow
WARM RECEPTORS AND COLD RECEPTORS
Free nerve endings in every body tissue except brain.
SENSATIONS
Pain
ADAPTATION RATE
Slow
NOCICEPTORS
Sensory nerve endings wrap around central area of encapsulated intrafusal muscle fibers within most skeletal muscles
SENSATIONS
Muscle length.
ADAPTATION RATE
Slow
MUSCLE SPINDLES
Capsule encloses collagen fibers and sensory nerve endings at junction of tendon and muscle
SENSATIONS
Muscle tension.
ADAPTATION RATE
Slow
TENDON ORGANS
Lamellar corpuscles, bulbous corpuscles, tendon organs, and free nerve endings
SENSATIONS
Joint position and movement
ADAPTATION RATE
Rapid
JOINT KINESTHETIC RECEPTORS
