Lab Practical 2 Flashcards
meissner’s corpuscle
(tactile corpuscle) responds to light touch
pacinian corpuscle
(lamellated corpuscle) responds to vibration
free nerve endings
respond to temperature and mechanical stimuli (touch, pressure, stretch) or danger (nociception). Work as thermoreceptors, cutaneous mechanoreceptors and nociceptors.
Ruffini’s corpuscle
responds to pressure

general senses do not include
vision
sensory adaptation
receptors are continuously stimulated and sensations may fade away
encapsulated nerve endings include
tactile (meissner’s) corpuscles
what is a lamellated corpuscle stimulated by?
deep pressure
what do free nerve endings function as?
pain, warm, and cold receptors
true or false: lamellated corpuscles are located in the epidermis of the skin
false
what are nociceptors stimulated by?
tissue damage
responsible for the sense of light touch
tactile (meissner’s) corpuscle
responsible for the sense of deep pressure
lamellated (pacinian) corpuscle
what senses are widely distributed sensory receptors throughout the body associated with?
general senses
where are receptor cells for the sense of taste located?
mouth, tongue, pharynx
where does olfactory interpretation take place in the brain?
frontal and temporal lobes of the cerebrum
NOT a recognized taste
mint
where in the cerebrum does taste interpretation take place?
insula
sour sensations are produced by what?
acids
bitter sensations are produced by what?
alkaloids
sweet sensations are produced by what?
sugars
salty sensations are produced by what?
ionized inorganic salts
umami sensations are produced by what?
glutamate
which nerves conduct impulses from taste receptors to the brain?
facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus
the axons of olfactory receptors pass through small openings in the
cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone
the distal ends of the olfactory neurons are covered in hairlike
cilia
where is taste interpreted?
insula of the cerebrum
what is a taste pore?
the opening if a taste bud
what is the sensitive part of a taste cell?
the hairs
outer layer of the eye
cornea and sclera
cones
allow us to see color and bright light (blue, green, red)
where does the perception of vision occur?
occipital lobe
middle layer of eye (vascular tunic) is composed of the…
choroid, ciliary body, retina
