Somatic Sense
information about body and environment
Visceral Sense
information about internal organs
Tonic Receptors
accommodate slowly
Phasic Receptors
accommodate quickly
Primary Receptor
axons conduct action potentials in response to receptor potential
Secondary Receptor
cause release of neurotransmitter that bind to receptors on a neuron causing a receptor potential
What kind of pathway is the lateral spinothalmic tract
ascending pathway
Secondary and Tertiary neurons are
in an ascending tract
