Sensory Physiology

Front 1

two-point discrimination

Back 1

used to map out the distribution of touch receptors in the skin. method of measuring the distance of the receptive field which each sensory neuron is monitoring

Front 2

density of thermoreceptors

Back 2

used to map distribution of cold and warm thermoreceptors in the skin. cold receptors detect at 10-20c and warm begins to fire at 25-44c.

Front 3

proprioception

Back 3

sense of body positioning allows you to walk without having to look down at your feet. test will demonstrate the level of proprioception in a dominant and non-dominant hand.

Front 4

rinne test (hearing)

Back 4

enables you to identify the cause of hearing loss, the method differentiates between nerve deafness and conduction deafness

Front 5

weber test (hearing)

Back 5

test for conduction deafness

Front 6

eye movement muscles

Back 6

superior rectus=up (nerve III)

inferior rectus=down (nerve III)

medial rectus=medial (nerve III)

lateral rectus=lateral (nerve VI)

superior oblique=lateral side up (nerve IV)

inferior oblique=lateral side down (nerve III)
