    General Terms

    Peripheral nerve terminals are of two

    types:

    Terminal of axons w/ transmit impulses from

    CNS to effectors (efferent)

    Terminal of dendrites w/ perceive stimuli and

    transmit to CNS (afferent), called receptor

    (sensory endings) recognizes a stimulus, then

    change the stimulus into impulses.

    Senses can be: General afferent

    Pain, touch, visceral senses, and thermal appreciation

    Result in unconscious reflexes

    Special afferent Associated with highly specialized senses

    Smell, sight, hearing, taste

    Located in the head

    Are conveyed by cranial nerves

    Somatic refers to the body wall and limbs;visceral refers to the vital organ systems(circulatory, digestive, respiratory, and excretory systems)

    Receptor Classification

    Depending on the source of the stimulus Exteroceptor

    General somatic afferent

    Special somatic afferent: vision and hearing

    Special visceral afferent: smell and taste

    Proprioceptor (kinesthetic, deep sensibilities) General somatic afferent: intrafusal fibers

    Special somatic afferent: equilibrium (ear)

    Interoceptor (visceral senses) General visceral afferent: visceral organ

    Depending dendrite response to a particular stimulus Mechanoreceptor

    Thermoreceptor

    Nociceptor

    Mechanoreceptor

    Stimulated by anything moving or physical perturbation.

    Classification tactile receptors- touch, pressure, vibration

    i. encapsulated receptors

    a) Meissners corpuscles- fine touch

    b) Pacinian corpuscles- deep pressure

    c) Ruffini corpuscles- tension, crude touch

    ii. unencapsulated receptors

    a) free nerve endings- pain

    b) Merkels discs- fine touch

    c) root hair plexes- hair movement baroreceptorsare sensitive to internal pressures such as blood

    pressure, lung stretch, digestive tract tension

    proprioceptorsare kinesthetic monitors of tendon muscle stretch.

    Thermoreceptor and Nociceptor

    thermoreceptors- detect heat or absencethereof, phasic, same pathways as pain

    nociceptorstimulation results in pain.Heat,mechanical stress and chemicals can all

    cause pain by stimulating different classes ofreceptors.a. fast pain- deep cuts, etc. - referred immediately to

    primary sensory cortex, usually trigger reflexes

    b. slow pain- later, persistent, indistinct source,thalamic

    c. referred pain- visceral, "incorrect" sourceperceived

    Eye

    Photosensory organs of the body

    Light passes through the cornea, lens, and severalrefractory structures of the orb; light is then focused bythe lens on the retina, which contains the

    photosensitive rods and cones. Through a series ofseveral layers of nerve cells and supporting cells, thevisual information is transmitted by the optic nerve tothe brain for processing.

    The bulb of the eye is composed: A fibrous tunic, forming the tough outer coat

    A vascular tunic, the pigmented and vascular midle coat

    A neural tunic (retina), the innermost coat
