Encapsulated tactile receptors include
end (krause) bulbs, lamellated corpusces, rafini corpuscles, tactile (mesissner) corpuscles
lamellated corpuscles are
encapsulated
lamellated corpuscles are found in
deep dermis, hypodermis, and organ walls
lamellated corpuscles detect
pressure, course touch, high-frequency vibration
lamellated corpuscles are wrapped in
neurolemmocytes and concentric layers of connective tissue
tactile (meissner) corpuscles are intertwins endings weapped in
modified neurolemmocytes converted into connective tissue
tactile (meissner) corpuscles are located in
dermal papillae
tactile (meissner) corpuscles detect
discrimitive light touch,
tactile (meissner) corpuscles allow for recognition of
texture and shape
proprioreceptors are generally sensory receptors located in
muscles, tendons, and joints
proprioreceptors are specialized mechanoreceptors that relay info regarding
body position and movement
proprioreceptors allow for proprioception which is the
sicth sense; sense of body position
three types of proprioreceptors
muscle spindle, golgi tendon organ, joint kinethetic receptor
muscle spindle
detech stratch in skeletal muscle
golgi tendon organ
detech stratch in tendon
joint kinesthetic receptor
detect stratch in articulr capsule
Reffered pain is an
innacurate localization of sensory signals
olfaction is the
sense of smell
olfaction is the detection of
odarants dissoled in air
odarants are volatile molecules dissolved in
nasal mucus
odarants are detected by
chemoreceptors
odarants provide information about
food, people, danger
olfactory epithelium where we have
chemoreceptors
