  • Back
Sensory
send signals to CNS
Integrative systems
process and eveuate sensory information (integration_
motor systems
carry signals from CNS to effectors, and make sure motor output is coordinatied for efficient responses
sensory modality
type of sensation.. touch, vision
perception
awareness plus interpretation of sensory
somatic sensations include
tactile
thermal
pain
proprirreception

of the body sensations
tactile sensations
tactile receptors of the skin include
corpuscles of touch (messiner corpuscles)
hair root plexuess
mrechanoreceptors
merkel discs
ruffini corpuscles
lamellanatied corpucles
free nerve sensations
nociceptors
free nerve endings that respond to
chemical and physical damage
activated by multiple types
chemicals can stimulate/sensitize
superficial somatic pain
arises from nociceptors in the skin
deep somatic pain arises from
nociceptors in the muslcesm joints, tendons, ligaments, and facia
visceral pain
arises from stiulation of nociceptors in visceral organs
proprioceptive sensations allow
us to have waareness of where our head and limbs are, and where they are going... cirital for precise control of body movements
inform us about several categories of mechanical stimuli
prociceptors inform us about
the degree to which muslces are stretched
tension in tendons, position of joints
position and movements of our head
feedback from proprioceptors allow
us to adjust our movements to match changing physical challenges
muscle spindles
lenth of muslces is monitored by proprioceptors
stretch reflex/tone of muscle
tendon organs
where tendon meets mucle
level of tension is moniitored by priceptors
joint kinethetic receptors
located within and around synotvial joint capsules
provide feedback on joint position
primary somatosensory area is in the
postcentral gysus of the parietal lobe
left side of the body maps to the
(somatic sensory map)
right cerebral cortex
primary motor area
precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe
first order neurons carry
signals to teh spinal cord or brainstem
second order neurons
to thalamus
third order neurons
from thalamus to cerebral cortex
relay stations
in CNS, spinal cord, regions of brinstem, thalmus
posterior colum pathway
cafrries ifo from touch, vibration, proprioreceptors
anterolareal pathway
pain., touch, temp, itch, tickle
cerebellum
maintains balance posture, executes skilled movements
(requires extenstive input from prpprioceptors
skeletal mucles innertaved by
lower motor neurons )spinal cord or brainstem)
uppor motor neurons maintain
muscle tone, posteru, balance
balal nuclei help
begin and end movements
wakefullness and sleep regulated by
thalamus
reticular activiating system is a
diffuse series of brainstem nuclei that elp us transition b/w sleep and awake
integrative functions
area of the brain involved in memory include associatoin areas (talmus and hypo) and parts of the limbic system
