-is any stimuli about which the body is aware.
|
sensation
|
|
Sensation is necessary to monitor ______ and ______ world to maintain homeostasis.
|
internal and external
|
|
Sensation can occur while a person is ______ or _______.
|
conscious or unconscious
|
|
-is the conscious awareness and interpretation of sensation.
|
Perception
|
|
Perceptions involve precise _______ and _______ of a sensation.
|
localization and indentification
|
|
Memories of perceptions are stored in the _____________.
|
Cerebral cortex
|
|
-is a type of sensation.
|
Modalities
|
|
-type of sensory modalitiy is ____________ and general visceral senses--- sensations from the skin and body that you perceive. (touch)
|
General somatic senses
|
|
-type of sensory modalitiy is _________ senses--- smell, taste, hearing, vision, and balance.
|
Special senses
|
|
A _______ is a change in the enviroment that can activate certain sensory receptors.
|
stimulus
|
|
How are sensory receptors classified?
|
by location
|
|
______-receptors are found near the surface of the body. They receive external stimuli and are responsible for hearing, vision, smell, taste, touch, pressure, pain, vibration, and temp.
|
Exteroceptor
|
|
______-receptors monitor internal enviroment (blood vessels or viscera) The information from these receptors is not consciously interpreted except for pain or pressure.
|
Interoceptors
|
|
______-receptors sense the body position and movement and are located in the muscles, tendones, joints, and internal ear.
|
Proprioceptors
|
|
How are sensory receptors classified?
|
by stimuli detected
|
|
__________ are receptors that detect pressure or stretch, touch, vibration, hearing, propriception, equilbrium, and blood pressure.
|
mechanoreceptors
|
|
__________ are receptors that detect temperature.
|
Thermoreceptors
|
|
__________ are receptors that detect damage to tissues and pain.
|
Nociceptors
|
|
__________ are receptors that detect light.
|
Photoreceptor
|
|
__________ are receptors that detect molecules and are responsible for taste, smell, and changes in body fluid chemistry.
|
Chemoreceptors
|
|
Sensory __________ occurs when the generator potential or receptor potential decreases in amplitude during a maintained, constant stimulus. In other word, when you are exposed to something for a long time you get used to it. Olfactory fatigue occurs when you are exposed to a smell for a while and it disappears. You really just got used to it.
|
Sensory Adaption
|
|
There are _____ order of somatic sensory pathways
|
three
|
|
somatic sensory pathways _____ order neuron- conducts impulses to the brainstem or spinal cord.
|
1st order neuron
|
|
somatic sensory pathways _____order neuron-conducts impulses from the spinal cord or brainstem to the thalamus. The impulse crosses over to the opposite side before reaching the thalamus.
|
2nd order neuron
|
|
somatic sensory pathways _______ order neuron- conducts impulses from the thalamus to the primary somatosensory cortex(postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe)
|
3rd order neuron
|
|
-are sensations of touch, pressure, vibration, itch, and tickle
|
Tactile
|
|
Sensations are detected by various _____.
|
receptors
|
|
Tactile receptors in the skin or subcutaneous layer include;
|
meissner corpuscle
hair root plexuses merkel disc ruffini corpuscle |
|
Tactile recptors _____ _____ are found in hairless skin.(fingers and palms) and responsible for discriminative touch.
|
Meissner corpuscles
|
|
Tactile recptors _____ ____ are found in hairy skin and are responsible for detecting anything that moves hair.
|
Hair root plexuses
|
|
Tactile recptors _____ _____ detect internal stretching. (movements of limbs)
|
Ruffini corpuscle
|
|
Tactile recptors ____ ____ detect vibrations.
|
lamellated corpuscle
|
|
_____ pain occurs within one second. Impulses are carried on myelinated fibers. (Needle puncture or knife cut)
|
Fast pain
|
|
____ pain begins a second or more agter the stimulus is applied. Impulses are carried on unmyelinated fibers. (toothache)
|
Slow pain
|
|
______ pain may be felt in an area far away from the stimulated organ. (Hurting in left arm with a heart attack)
|
Referred pain
|
|
__________ sensation occurs when a patienthas had a limb amputated and they still experience itching, pressure, tingling or pain as if the limb were still there. This could be due to the impulses being sent from the proximal portions of the neurons that are still there or areas of the brain that recieved impulses from the limb are still active.
|
Phantom Limb
|
|
Spinal cord injury- damaged by tumor, heriated disc, clot, or trauma. A complete ________ of the cord occurs when the cord is severed resulting in loss of both sensation and movement below the injury.
|
transection
|
|
_________ is paralysis of one limb.
|
Monoplegia
|
|
________ is paralysis of both upper or both lower limbs.
|
Deplegia
|
|
________ is paralysis of all four limbs.
|
Quadriplegia
|
|
______ is paralysis of one side.
|
Hemiplegia
|
|
Spinal _____ is loss of reflex function and results in slow heart rate, low blood pressure, and bladder problems, but reflexes may gradually return.
|
shock
|
|
_______ ______ loss of motor control and coordination. It is caused by damage to motor areas of the brain due to infection of pregnant women with rubella virus, ratiation of the fetus or temporary lack of oxygen during birth. It is not a progressive disease, but it is irreversible.
