travers 3 (sensation) Flashcards
What arch is the mucosa of the body of the tongue from
arch 1
What arch is the mucosa of the root of the tongue from
arch 3
What cranial nerves innervate taste buds
VII, IX, X
What cranial nerve supplies somatosensory innervation to the anterior mouth
V
What cranial nerve supplies somatosensory innervation to the posterior tongue and pharynx
IX
What fibers detect touch
A beta and A delta
What fibers detect warming
c fibers
what fibers detect cooling
A delta
What fibers detect pain
a delta and c fibers
Large fibers detect:
touch
A beta
Small fibers detect:
thermal and pain
A delta, C
What mechano receptors are found in the mucous membrane
merkel
meissner
Meissner’s corpuscle:
fiber type?
location?
encapsulated?
fiber type: large axons (A beta and larger A delta)
location: in superficial lamina propria between rete pegs
encapsulate: yes by shwann cells
Merkel receptor:
fiber type?
location?
synapse?
fiber type: large axons (A beta and larger A delta)
location: apices of rete pegs
merkel cells synapse on merkel receptors
Which receptors are rapidly adapting
Meissners
due to cushioning of encapsulation
Which receptors are slowly adapting
Merkel
Both Meisser & Merkel receptors have very low thresholds but differ in their response to the dynamic aspects of the stimulus.
T/F
T
Both Meissner and Merkel receptors can code painful sensations. T/F
F, neither can encode pain
What types of fibers encode pain
A delta, C
What senses spiciness
Not taste system
pain receptors
TRPA1 (also in pulp–responds to inflammation)
