Nervous System 4: The Peripheral Nervous System

Outcomes

1.      Distinguish between the afferent and efferent divisions

2.      Explain what is a sensory receptor

3.      Explain how sensory receptors are classified according to stimulus, location and structure (simple or complex)

4.      Describe the following encapsulated receptors giving their location and stimulus to which they respond:

a.      Meissner’s corpuscle

b.      Pacinian corpuscle

c.      Ruffini ending

d.      Muscle spindle

e.      Golgi tendon organ

f.       Joint kinaesthetic recept

?
phasic receptors which is true
pacnian and meissners corpsicules are phasic receptors
1 of 6
nerves which is false
surrounded by epitheleal tissue
2 of 6
components of the reflex arc which is correct
receptor- sensory neuron- integration centre- motor neuron- effector
3 of 6
structure of a nerve which is false
the epineureum is the second layer of the nerve structure
4 of 6
reagrds to reflexes which is true
spinal reflexes have integration with higher centres
5 of 6
flexor and cross extensor reflex which is false
the flexor reflex cannot be overridden by the brain
