34
Q

35
Q

4 main types of receptor neurons

A
  1. Mechanoreceptors
  2. Chemoreceptors
  3. Photoreceptors
  4. Thermoreceptors
36

A

Chemoreceptors

38
Q

Which receptor senses light?

A

Photoreceptors

39
Q

Which receptor senses temperature?

A

Thermoreceptors

40
Q

Tactile

41
Q

Thermoceptive

A

temperature

42
Q

Niciceptive

43
Q

Propioceptive

A

self/position

44
Q

Sensory transduction

A

Transmits a physical signal to a biological signal through a sensory receptor neuron

45
Q

Where does signaling start in a primary sensory neuron?

A

Terminal/end organ

46
Q

Once a receptor potential passes threshold…

A

It becomes an action potential down the spike initiating zone

47
Q

What does the accessory structure of a primary sensory neuron do?

A

Suppress certain features of the signal and/or enhance other features

48
Q

Spike frequency adaption

A

In response to sustained constant stimulus the neuron doesn’t generate constant APs

49
Q

Slow adaption (spike frequency)

A

Slowly decreases APs from start to stop of stimulus

50
Q

Rapidly adapting (spike frequency)

A

Only sends APs at beginning and end of stimulus or when signal changes

51
Q

Causes of slow/rapid adaption

A
  1. Channels inactivate during stimulus
  2. Activation of K channels
  3. Accessory structure
52
Q

Sensation

A

Basic recognition that a stimulus has been applied

53
Q

Reception

A

Involves integration and interpretation of multiple sensations (may involve memory)

54
Q

Dimensions of sensation

A
  1. Modality (type)
  2. Localization (where)
  3. Intensity (strength)
55
Q

Labeled line theory

A

Different types of stimuli selectively activate specific receptors –> activity is processed along separate pathways

56
Q

Pattern theory

A

An individual pathway can convey information about multiple modalities based on the pattern of APs

57
Q

Topographic organization

A

Systematic mapping of body parts in portions of the brain

58
Q

Receptive field

A

Location at which a stimulus causes a location to fire

59
Q

Overlap

A

Allows for a better (unique) understanding of stimulus identification

60
Q

Divergence

A

Taking information and sending the same information to multiple branches –> same amount of IMPS

61
Q

Convergence

A

Multiple inputs merge into a higher order neuron

62
Q

Acuity

A

How precisely one can identify where a stimulus has been diverged
