The receptive fields of Merkels disks are small with well-defined borders. Trans-retinal disassociates from opsin and opsin becomes activated *Cochlea After the thalamus, auditory nerve signals reach the Treated by convex lens. 4) Nasolacrimal duct. Mechanoreceptors in the skin, muscles, or the walls of blood vessels are examples of this type. THE GENERAL SENSES RECEPTORS 1. *Saccule * caffeine A free nerve ending is an unencapsulated dendrite of a sensory neuron; they are the most common nerve endings in skin. Malleus For example, a molecule in food can serve as a ligand for taste receptors. -Epiglottis, a. Axons of ganglion cells from nasal halves of both retinas, Which nerve fibers cross in the optic chiasma? A tactile sensory receptorcan be defined as the peripheral ending of a sensory neuron and its accessory structures, which may be part of the nerve cell or may come from epithelial or connective tissue. Related to these are Golgi tendon organs, which are tension receptors that detect the force of muscle contraction. what type of receptors detect deep pressure and vibration? f.

Golgi tendon organs similarly transduce the stretch levels of tendons. 4. vestibular membrane These graded potentialscause neurotransmitter to be released onto a sensory neuron causing a graded post-synaptic potential. This function Use the function with the points (1.5, 3), (9, 10.5), has no output arguments. Mechanoreceptors in the skin are described as encapsulated (that is, surrounded by a capsule) or unencapsulated (a group that includes free nerve endings). It is not surprising, then, that humans detect cold stimuli before they detect warm stimuli. d. gets lower. They, too, are found primarily in the glabrous skin on the fingertips and eyelids. 2. Temperature receptors are free nerve endings. The cells that interpret information about the environment can be either (1) a neuron that has a free nerve ending(dendrites) embedded in tissue that would receive a sensation; (2) a neuron that has anencapsulated ending in which the dendrites are encapsulated in connective tissue that enhances their sensitivity; or (3) a specialized receptor cell, which has distinct structural components that interpret a specific type of stimulus (Figure 13.1.1).

The Slowly Adapting type 2 (SA2) mechanoreceptors, with the Ruffini corpuscle end-organ (also known as the bulbous corpuscles ), detect tension deep in the skin and fascia and respond to skin stretch, but have not been closely linked to either proprioceptive or mechanoreceptive roles in perception. During hearing, the structure(s) first to vibrate is/are the Nociceptors are free (bare) nerve endings found in the skin (Figure 6.2), muscle, joints, bone and viscera. Sensation is the activation of sensory receptors at the level of the stimulus. - There are more than 100 million rod cells per eye. 2 - Sound waves are amplified due to movement by the auditory ossicles. Thus, they also contribute to proprioception and kinesthesia. Farsightedness disorder in which the cornea and lens system is optically too weak or the eyeball is too short. -Ciliary body Some stimuli are physical variations in the environment that affect receptor cell membrane potentials. They are slow to adjust to a stimulus and so are less sensitive to abrupt changes in stimulation. Some thermoreceptors are sensitive to just cold and others to just heat. assuming that the spacing of the 16mm16-\mathrm{mm}16mm-diameter rods is increased to 225mm225 \mathrm{~mm}225mm on centers. Which type of corpuscles detect pressure? d. Cochlea Touch receptors are denser in glabrous skin (the type found on human fingertips and lips, for example), which is typically more sensitive and is thicker than hairy skin (4 to 5 mm versus 2 to 3 mm). 4.

Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting receptors that detect gross pressure changes and vibrations in the skin. Touch and pressure are sensed by four types of mechanoreceptors ( Figure 8-1 ). - Filiform 8 - Round window. The nerves that convey sensory information from the periphery to the CNS are either spinal nerves, connected to the spinal cord, or cranial nerves, connected to the brain. Light touch, also known as discriminative touch, is a light pressure that allows the location of a stimulus to be pinpointed. For example, have you ever stretched your muscles before or after exercise and noticed that you can only stretch so far before your muscles spasm back to a less stretched state? c. Visceral sensory neurons travel along the same pathway as many somatic sensory neurons. What is the margin between the photosensitive and nonphotosensitive regions of the retina called? They are found in the bone periosteum, joint capsules, pancreas and other viscera, breast, and genitals. Small, finely calibrated mechanoreceptorsMerkels disks and Meissners corpusclesare located in the upper layers and can precisely localize even gentle touch. The sensory receptors of the inner ear for equilibrium are The Chemical Level of Organization, Chapter 3. Nearsightedness disorder in which the cornea and lens are too powerful or the eyeball is too long. The Peripheral Nervous System, Chapter 18. Mechanical, chemical, or thermal stimuli beyond a set threshold will elicit painful sensations. Sound waves are funneled into the ears by the: True or False: Astigmatism is also called farsightedness. : Put the events of sound wave movement through the ear and nervous pathways in order. -High degree of neural convergence Air that initially occupies 0.140 m at a gauge pressure of 103.0 kPa is expanded isothermally to a pressure of 101.3 kPa and then cooled at constant pressure until it reaches its initial volume. They are found in both glabrous and hairy skin. -Sclera Cones: They induce pain. Sensations can also be protective to the body, by registering environmental cold or warm, and painful needle prick, for example. Stretch receptors monitor the stretching of tendons, muscles, and the components of joints. f - Superior olivary nucleus : *Stapes *Tensor tympani muscle middle Structures apart of inner, middle, or outer ear?

The Merkel nerve endings (also known as Merkel discs) detect sustained pressure. b. tympanic membrane. This table shows that there are five basic types of sensory receptors: (1) mechanorecep-tors, which detect mechanical compression or stretching of the receptor or of tissues adjacent to the receptor; (2) thermoreceptors, which detect changes in temperature, some receptors detecting cold and others warmth; (3) nociceptors (pain receptors), which (Consider that the deep pressure that reaches those deeper receptors would not need to be finely localized.) The main sensory modalities can be described on the basis of how each stimulus is transduced and perceived. Blood-sucking insects use thermoreception to detect their host, thermoreceptors present in the pit organ of the viper helps them locate their prey. Decide if these retinal events occur in the dark or in the light. Finally, a proprioceptor is a receptor located near a moving part of the body, such as a muscle or joint capsule, that interprets the positions of the tissues as they move. The vestibule contains two structures, the utricle and __________. b. Pinna It dissociates rhodopsin and changes 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal.

Which of these is most vulnerable to irreversible damage caused by a very loud noise? Which cells of the dermis detect pressure? Ask anyone what the senses are, and they are likely to list the five major sensestaste, smell, touch, hearing, and sight. Is it possible to whirl a bucket of water fast enough in a vertical circle so that the water won't fall out? Many of the somatosensory receptors are located in the skin, but receptors are also found in muscles, tendons, joint capsules and ligaments. Because of this, it will decrease the ability of other stimuli to elicit pain sensations through the activated nociceptor. e. stapes. Transduction refers to . These are slow-adapting, encapsulated mechanoreceptors that detect skin stretch and deformations within joints, so they provide valuable feedback for gripping objects and controlling finger position and movement. -Vestibule An exteroceptor is a receptor that is located near a stimulus in the external environment, such as the somatosensory receptors that are located in the skin. What substance produced in the external ear impedes microorganism growth? Middle: What is another name for the cochlear duct? The dynamics of capsaicin binding with this transmembrane ion channel is unusual in that the molecule remains bound for a long time. Pacinian receptors detect pressure and vibration by being compressed, stimulating their internal dendrites. 2) Vascular tunic c. A short eyeball Any deformation in the corpuscle causes action potentials to be generated by opening pressure-sensitive sodium ion channels in the axon membrane. They can also be classified functionally on the basis of the transduction of stimuli, or how the mechanical stimulus, light, or chemical changed the cell membrane potential. Activated rhodopsin inhibits the production of glutamate by rods. b. Pigmented layer of retina
