2 divisions of the peripheral NS
1. sensory division 2. motor division
1 of 33
sensory division includes
somatic senses and special sense
2 of 33
motor division includes
somatic NS (skeletal muscle movts) ANS - smooth and cardiac muscle
3 of 33
Receptor
any structure specialized to detect a stimuli
4 of 33
cluster free nerve endings
detect pain,heat and cold. can be myelinated or unmyelinated
5 of 33
Meissners corpuscle
unmeylinated nerve ending , for touch
6 of 33
Pacinian corpuscle
unmyelinated sensory neurone, layers of tissue - pressure receptor
7 of 33
Merkel disc
merkel cell + enlarged myelinated axon terminal -
8 of 33
Ruffinis corpuscle
bundle of collagen fibres - with myelinated sensory axon. Branching between fibrils
9 of 33
Signal transduction
process of turning stimulus ---> AP
10 of 33
Receptor potential
The Membrane potential change when a receptor responds to a stimuli
11 of 33
Labelled line principle
type of sensation felt is dictated by the point where the nerve fibres lead to
12 of 33
Somatic sense 1+2
Touch and pressure - often grouped together because pressure= sustained touch
13 of 33
Stimuli for touch and pressure
mechanical deformation
14 of 33
Light touch
Merkel disc, Meissners corpuscle
15 of 33
Heavy touch
paccinian and ruffinis corpuscle
16 of 33
Somatic sense 3
temperature
17 of 33
3 types of temperature receptor
warm, cold, pain
18 of 33
warm receptors
stimulated >30
19 of 33
cold stim
<45
20 of 33
warm pain
stim >45
21 of 33
cold pain
stim <15
22 of 33
perception of temp depends on
proportions of each receptor stimulated
23 of 33
Somatic sense 4
pain
24 of 33
how was the somatosensory cortex mapped out
experiment on conscious patient, areas of cortex probed with needle- caused various regions of body to have pins and needles
25 of 33
the more sensitive a limb
the greater area of cortex allocated to it
26 of 33
somatic senses in the head travel to the cortec via what nerve
trigeminal nerve
27 of 33
somatic senses below the head travel to the cortec via what nerve
spinothalamic tract
28 of 33
where does the spinothalmic tract cross
the spinal cord
29 of 33
Dorsal collun is for what type of touch
fine touch and propriception.
30 of 33
where does DC cross
after leaving dorsal collumn nuclei to reach the thalamus
31 of 33
Gracile fasciculus
T6 and below (chest downwards)
32 of 33
Cuneate fasciculus
T6 and above (chest and above and arms)
