Somatovisceral sensitivity I b Flashcards
(18 cards)
Sense of cold is located
on the surface of the skin
sense of warmth is located
on deeper layer of the skin
sense of cold receptor
krause’s corpuscle
sense of warmth receptor
ruffini’s corpucle
heating receptor is
unmyelinated free nerve ending
cooling receptor is
myelinated free nerve ending
thermoreception adaptation
relatively rapid
sense of position depends on
the rotation angle of the joints and of the rate of change there off
proprioception information receptors
ruffini corpuscles
pacini corpuscles
golgi tendon organs
muscle spindles
proprioception ruffini corpuscles
determinate degree of rotation of the joint in joint capsules
proprioception pacini corpuscles
sense speed of movement of the joints due to very rapid adaptation in the joint capsules
proprioception golgi tendon organs
sense sudden contractions of the tendons in ligaments
proprioception muscle spindles
report on the length and time of contraction in the muscles
golgi tendon organ is a
proprioceptive sensory receptor organ that is at the origins and insertions of skeletal muscle fibers into the tendons
golgi tendon organs are innervated by
single afferent type Ib sensory nerve fibre
what happens to the type Ib sensory nerve fibres near golgi tendon organs
they branch and terminate as spiral endings around the collagen strands (in the are in between tendon and muscle)
golgi tendon organs do not receive
motor innervation
golgi tendon organs detect
muscle tension both during active muscular contraction and passive muscular extension
