Graded
chemicals H+ and ATP
What do rods do with light
depolarize

hyperpolarize
neural pathway for general senses
1st order
2nd order
spinothalamic (pain, temp, touch, tickle, pressure)
dorsal column (proprioception, touch, vibration)
Spinocerebellar (proprioception)
3rd order neurons
What is referred pain
perceived pain close to the site of injury d/t interconnecting nerves
dermatones
refer pain to muscle and skin since nociceptors are superficial
