SENSES Flashcards
respond to mechanical receptors such as bending and stretching
mechanoreceptors
respond to temperature change
thermoreceptor
respond to light
photoreceptor
respond to chemical
chemoreceptor
respond to stimuli that results in the sensation of pain
nociceptors
respond to painful stimuli, temperature, itch and movement
a. free nerve endings
b. cold receptor
c. warm receptor
d. touch receptor
a. free nerve endings
respond to increasing temperature but stop responding at temperature above 47 degree Celsius
a. free nerve endings
b. cold receptor
c. warm receptor
d. touch receptor
c. warm receptor
respond to decreasing temperature but stop responding at temperature below 12 degree Celsius
a. free nerve endings
b. cold receptor
c. warm receptor
d. touch receptor
b. cold receptor
are small, superficial pressure; found in the basal layer of epidermis
a. merkel disk
b. hair follicle receptor
a. Merkel disk
associated with hairs, are also involved in detecting light touch
a. merkel disk
b. hair follicle receptor
b. hair follicle receptor
are located just deep to the epidermis. These receptors are very specific in localising tactile sensation
a. meissner corpuscles
b. ruffini corpuscles
c. pacinian corpucles
a. meissner corpuscles
these receptors relay information concerning deep pressure, vibration, and position
a. meissner corpuscles
b. ruffini corpuscles
c. pacinian corpucles
c. pacinian corpuscles
plays an important role in detecting continuous pressure in the skin
a. meissner corpuscles
b. ruffini corpuscles
c. pacinian corpucles
b. ruffini corpuscles
local areas of the body through the injection of chemical anesthetists near a sensory receptors or nerve; fully conscious
a. local anesthesia
b. general anesthesia
a. local anesthesia
a treatment where chemical aneasthetics that affects the reticular activating systems are administered; loss of consciousness
a. local anesthesia
b. general anesthesia
b. general anesthesia
is perceived to originate in a region of the body that is not the source of painful stimulus
referred pain
what is olfaction
sense of smell
are the first-order neurons of the olfactory pathway
a. olfactory receptor cells
b. supporting cells
c. basal cells
a. olfactory receptor cells
are columnar epithelial cells. They provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation for the olfactory receptor cells
a. olfactory receptor cells
b. supporting cells
c. basal cells
b. supporting cells
they continually undergo cell division to produce new olfactory receptor cells
a. olfactory receptor cells
b. supporting cells
c. basal cells
c. basal cells
what is gustation
sense of taste
contains microvili and surround about 50 gustatory cells
a. supporting cell
b. gustatory microvili
c. basal cells
a. supporting cells
projects from each gustatory receptor cell to the external surface through the taste pores, an opening in the taste buds
a. supporting cell
b. gustatory microvili
c. basal cells
b. gustatory microvili
stem cells found at periphery of the taste buds
a. supporting cell
b. gustatory microvili
c. basal cells
c. basal cells
taste buds found in the elevation of the tongue. Provide rough texture at the upper surface of the tongue
papillae
form an inverted V-shaped row at the back of the tongue
a. vallate papillae
b. fungiform papillae
c. foliate papillae
a. vallate papillae
