There are 5 specific mechanoreceptors that we need to know for this exam. What are they?

A 
Nociceptors 
Thermoreceptors 
Proprioceptors
Baroreceptors 
Sensory Hair cells
35
Q

Describe Nociceptors

A
  • transmit impulses based on cell damage
  • perceived as pain
  • mostly free nerve endings
36
Q

Describe Thermoreceptors

A
  • naked dendritic endings of sensory neurons
  • sensitive to changes in temperature
  • contain ion channels that are responsive to hot and cold
  • Cold receptors are located higher in the skin, and are much more numerous than warm receptors
37
Q

Describe Proprioceptors

A
  • monitor muscle length and tension

- provide information about the relative position or movement of animal’s body parts

38
Q

Describe Baroreceptors

A
  • monitor blood pressure
  • branched network of afferent neurons in the carotid sinus and aortic arch
  • detect tension or stretch in the walls of these blood vessels
39
Q

Describe Sensory Hair cells

A
  • specialized cells named stereocilia that have cytoplasmic extensions
  • when they bend, stereocilia send action potential to a sensory neuron
  • responsible for several senses including water current, hearing, and balance
40
Q

explain the lateral line system in fish

A
  • Canals run the length of the fish’s body beneath the skin surface
  • contain hair cells in a gelatinous cupula
  • innervated by sensory neurons that transmit impulses
  • bending of stereocilia detects currents
41
Q

What is hearing?

A

the detection of vibrations that is perceived as sound

involves stereocilia

42
Q

What are the advantages of hearing?

A
  • auditory stimuli travel farther and faster than chemical ones
  • auditory receptors provide better directional information than chemoreceptors
43
Q

describe how sound is interpreted via the cochlea (organ of Corti)

A
  • Has a basilar membrane with hair cells
  • vibrations of the basilar membrane’s hair cells press the stereocilia against the tectorial membrane
  • send serve impulses to the brain where they are interpreted as sound
44
Q

A few mammals have the ability to perceive presence and distance of objects by sound. What is this called? Give an example of an animal that does this.

A

Echolocation

bat, shrews, whales, dolphins

snakes (have pit organs on either side of the head)

locate heat sources in the environment (prey in darkness)

63
Q

Elasmobranchs (sharks, rays, skates) have electroreceptors that makes them able to do what?

A

sense electrical currents generated by the muscle contractions of their prey
**(Ampullae of Lorenzini)

64
Q

What is magnetoception?

A

a sense which allows an organism to detect the magnetic field lines of the Earth
-explains how birds migrate

65
Q

The nervous system links which 2 things?

A
