Q

boss; overall integration of ANS

A

hypothalamus

27
Q

regulates pupil size, HR, BP, airflow, salivation, etc.

A

brainstem (reticular formation)

28
Q

reflexes for urination, defecation, erection, and ejaculation

A

spinal cord

29
Q

process centers in ____ ____ coordinate complex reflexes

A

medulla oblongata

30
Q
  • receptors transduce stimuli –> convert stimulus into change in membrane potential (graded potential) –> action potential
  • receptors monitors an area called receptive field
  • receptors can display specificity for particular stimuli
  • In the presence of a stimulus, receptors may be 1. always active (tonic = slow-adapting) or only active for a short period in response to environmental change(PHASIC = FAST-ADAPTING)
A

receptor characteristics

31
Q

graded potential is called a _____ ___ when another cell type is the receptor –> graded potential in this case alters the rate of NT release by the sensory receptor cell

A

receptor potential

32
Q

receptive field size affects ability to ___ ___

  • 2 pt discrimination
A

localize stim

33
Q
  • free nerve endings
  • association with accessory structures
  • connective tussle around her endings
  • nerve endings wrapped in glial cells or connective tissue are called ___
A

encapsulated; structural complexity can affect receptor specificity

34
Q

always active
- AP are generated at a freq that reflects the background level of stimulation
- when stem increases or decreases the rate of AP generation changes accordingly

  • transmit info that has protective importance
    ex. proprioception, pain
A

tonic (slow-adapting) receptors

35
Q

normally inactive
- AP are generated only for a short time in response to a change in conditions they are monitoring
- useful for detecting changes in internal or external environment
ex. smell, hair movement, vibration

A

phasic (fast-adapting) receptor

36
Q

  2. thermoreceptors
  3. mechanoreceptors
  4. chemoreceptors
  5. photoreceptors
A

stimulus detection by receptors

37
Q
  • detect physical distortion of the membrane
  • free nerve endings : distal ends may be modified (“swelling” or “disc like endings”)
  • endings enclosed in connective tissue capsules (capsules help shield form other types of stimuli)

ex. tactile receptors, baroreceptors, proprioceptors

A

mechanoreceptors
