chpt 5: pns+afferent sys Flashcards
perception
-creating smt in your brain with no conscience effort using neural networks
modality
different energy forms
sensory transduction
converting energy into useful energy
receptor adaption can be
tonic or phasic
which reception adaption is slow
tonic
which reception adaption has stretch receptors
tonic
which reception adaption manages propioception and allows standing
tonic
phasic reception adaption function
-rapid adaption that doesn’t cause harm
which reception adaption has a small hyper polarization after the stimulus is gone and why does it occur
phasic and when there is change in sensations
reception potential location
in a specialized afferent ending
greater the stimulus means
more frequency of the action potential
where is ap generated in an afferent neuron?
receptor site
which potential has a graded potential before an ap ?
generator potential
generator potential location
in a separate receptor cell
in which potential do the Ca 2+ channels open?
generator potential
where does the small graded potential occur in a generator reception?
between a separate receptor cell and an afferent neuron
labelled line meaning
-sequential chain that processes sensory info
labelled line neurons
- first order sensory neuron
- second orde sensory neuron
- third order sensory neuron
first order sensory terminating location
CNS
second order sensory terminating location
thalamus
third order sensory terminating location
takes info to the higher cortex if needed
what happens in the first order sensory neuron
-afferent neuron detects stimulus
touch receptors aka
-mechanoreceptors
free nerve ending location in skin
superficial
which mechanoreceptors is the most abundant
free nerve ending
free nerve ending location
-hair root
what mechanoreceptors responds to all stimulus
free nerve ending
which mechanoreceptors are known as touch domes
merkels discs
which mechanoreceptors are superficial
- free nerve ending
- merkels discs
which mechanoreceptor is abundant on fingertips and mammary glands
merkel discs
which mechanoreceptors is responsible for reflex action
merkel discs
