Q

This division (Sensory) provides the CNS with sensory
information about the X senses
(tactile, thermal, pain, and proprioceptive
sensations) and X senses (smell,
taste, vision, hearing, and equilibrium).

A

somatic = tactile, thermal, pain,..

special = smell, taste, vision, hearing..

Q

The X nervous
system conveys output from
the CNS to X muscle,
X muscle, and glands

A

autonomic
X smooth
X cardiac

17
Q

The AutonomicNS is comprised of two main branches, the X nervous system and
the X nervous system.

A

sympathetic
parasympathetic

18
Q

AutonomicNS:

With a few exceptions, effectors receive innervation from both of these branches
(dual innervation), and usually the two branches have opposing actions:

A

sympathetic= fight or flight responses (increase heartrate)
parasympathetic = “rest-and-digest” (decrease heart rate)

19
Q

What is a third branch of the autonomic nervous system?

A

enteric nervous system (GI tract)

20
Q

True/false:

Although the enteric nervous system can function independently, it communicates
with and is regulated by the other branches of the autonomic nervous system.

A

true

21
Q

what are the three basic functions of the nervous system?

A

Sensory function (internal/external: blood pressure/a rain drop)
Integrative function (process sensory info and make decisions)
Motor function (once it is intergrated, appropriate motor response)

22
Q

Sensory impulses that reach the A may serve as input for spinal reflexes,
such as the stretch reflex.
* Sensory impulses that reach the B elicit more complex reflexes,
such as changes in heart rate or breathing rate.
* When sensory impulses reach the C, we become consciously
aware of the sensory stimuli and can precisely locate and identify specific
sensations such as touch, pain, hearing, or taste.

A spinal cord
B lower brainstem

23
Q

Perception is the conscious interpretation of sensations and is primarily a function of
the spinal cord

true/false

A

false: cerebral cortex

24
Q

True/false:
Each unique type of sensation is called a sensory modality.

A

true

25
Q

True/false
A given sensory neuron carries information for only two sensory modalities.

A

false: only one

26
Q

The different sensory modalities can be grouped into two classes: X senses
and X senses.

A

general
special

27
Q

The general senses refer to both somatic senses and visceral senses. What are they?

A

Somatic = tactile sensations (touch), thermal sensations (warm and cold), pain sensations, and proprioceptive
sensations (knowing your limbs)

Visceral senses: provide information about conditions within internal organs

28
Q

Sensory receptors are non-selective: a given sensory receptor does not only responds vigorously to one
particular kind of stimulus, but also responds to others.

true/false

A

False:

Sensory receptors are selective: a given sensory receptor responds vigorously to one
particular kind of stimulus and responds weakly or not at all to others.

29
Q

For a sensation to arise, the following four events typically occur:

Integration of sensory input.
Stimulation of the sensory receptor.
Generation of nerve impulses.
Transduction of the stimulus.

put them in the right order.

A

For a sensation to arise, the following four events typically occur:
1. Stimulation of the sensory receptor.
2. Transduction of the stimulus.
3. Generation of nerve impulses.
4. Integration of sensory input.

30
Q

Sensory neurons that conduct impulses from the PNS into the CNS are called
X neurons.

A

firstorder

31
Q

Several structural and functional characteristics of sensory receptors can be
used to group them into different classes:

A
  1. Structure
  2. Location of the receptors and the origin of stimuli that activate them
  3. Type of stimulus detected
32
Q

TYPES OF SENSORY RECEPTORS: ACCORDING STRUCTURE

A
  1. Free nerve endings of first-order sensory neurons.
  2. Encapsulated nerve endings of first-order sensory neurons.
  3. Separate cells that synapse with first-order sensory neurons.
33
Q

TYPES OF SENSORY RECEPTORS: ACCORDING LOCATION

A

Exteroceptors: provide information about the
external environment
Interoceptors or visceroceptors: monitor conditions in the internal environment
Proprioceptors: provide information about body position

34
Q

TYPES OF SENSORY RECEPTORS: ACCORDING TYPE OF STIMULUS
(name 3)

A

Mechanoreceptors (touch, pressure, etc)
Thermoreceptors
Nociceptors (pain)
Photoreceptors
Chemoreceptors (chemicals)
Osmoreceptors

35
Q

Because of adaptation, the perception of a sensation may fade or disappear even though
the stimulus persists.

true/false

A

true

36
Q

The sensory receptors for somatic sensations are distributed unevenly: some
parts of the body surface are densely populated with receptors, and others
contain only a few

true/false

A

true

37
Q

There are four modalities of somatic sensation:

TTPP

A

tactile, thermal, pain, and
proprioceptive.
