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

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

Cones
Are activated in bright light
Elongated cells
3 types of cones; different variety of iodopsin
sensitivity to red, green, and blue The structure is similar to that of rods with a
few exceptions: outer segments, the disk,
protein location in outer segment, sensitivity to
light and color, and pigment recycling.

External (outer) limiting membrane A region of zonulae adherens between Muller cells and
photoreceptors
Outer nuclear layer Occupied by nuclei o/t rods and cones
Outer plexiform layer Axodendritic synapses btw photoreceptor cells and dendrites
of bipolar and horizontal cells
Two types of synapses: Flat
Invaginated: triad a dendrite of a bipolar cells and a dendritefrom each of two horizontal cells
Ribbon-like lamellae (synaptic ribbon)
neurotransmitter

Inner Nuclear layer Occupied by nuclei of bipolar, horizontal, amacrine, and
Muller cells
Inner plexiform layer The processes of amacrine, bipolar, and ganglion cells
Axodendritic synapses Axons of bipolar cells and dendrites of ganglion cells and
amacrine cells
Two types of synapses: flat and invaginated Dyad: axon of bipolar cell and two dendrites of either amacrine cells
or ganglion cells or one dendrite from each two different cells
Synapted ribbon

Conjuctiva
A transparent mucous membrane palpebral conjunctiva: lines the inner surface o/t
eyelids
Bulbar conjunctiva: covers the sclera
is composed of a stratified columnar ep that contains goblet cells
Basal lamina
Lamina propria composed of loose connective tissue
Secretions o/t goblet cells is a part of tear film
continues as stratified squamous corneal ep atcorneoscleral junction and is devoid of gobletcells

84/86
Eyelids
Fold of skins Are supported by a framework of tarsal plate
The margin contain eyelashes arranged in rows of 3 or4 w/out arrector pilli muscle
External surface: str squamous ep of skin Sweat glands, fine hairs, and sebaceous glands of skin
Glands of Moll (modified sweat glands) form a spiral beforeopening into the eyelash follicles
Modified sebaceous glands Meibomian glands located in the tarsus of each lid and open on
the free edge of the lids
Glands of Zeis are associated w/ eyelashes and secretetheirproduct into eyelash follicles
Internal surface: palpebral conjunctiva

Lacrimal apparatus
Lacrimal gland secretes tears
Serous, tubuloalveolar gland
Myoepithelial cells surround acini
Lacrimal canaliculi Lacrimal canaliculi join into a common conduit to lacrimal sac
Stratified squamous ep. Lacrimal sac
Is a dilated superior portion of nasolacrimal duct
Pseudostratified ciliated columnar ep
Nasolacrimal duct
Inferior continuation o/t lacrimal sac Pseudostratified ciliated columnar ep
Carries the lacrimal fluid into inferior meatus located in the floor ofnasal cavity
