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
|
