Nervous System
Senses
Sensory receptor
Something that is sensitive to stimulus of surroundings and send a signal on to the central nervous system via an axon
-
Proprioceptor
Stimulus origin is muscles (including tendons), ligaments and joints
-
Stimulus Type Receptors
Chemoreceptor
Sensitive to chemicals (ex. blood, water, air, saliva)
Nociceptor
"Noxious" sensitive to pain, dangerous/painful
-
Mechanoreceptor
sensitive to pressure, touch, vibration and stretch
-
-
General senses
Widespread, free nerve endings
Special senses
Localized receptors, head region, specialized receptors
Anatomy of eye
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Posterior segment
-
-
Filled wth vitreous humor (gel like, clear)
-
Anterior segment
Filled with aqueous humor (watery) nourishes the lens and cornea and maintains normal interocular pressure
-
-
Olfaction
-
-
Path of nerve impulses
olfactory receptors --> olfactory sensory neuron within the olfactory bulb --> olfactory tract --> limbic system (emotional brain) & primary olfactory cortex in temporal lobe
-
Hearing Pathways
-
-
Anatomy of ear
-
outer ear
auricle
gather sound waves, amplify
Neurons
-
-
Typical neuron structure
Dendrites
Receiving part, receptive to messages from other cells
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Organization
-
-
Autonomic Motor
Smooth muscle --> digestive system, respiratory system, urinary system, reproductive system
-
Visceral motor division, mainly to contents of ventral body cavity
-
Autonomic Sensory
-
General includes stretch, pain, temperature, chemical, changes, irritation in viscera
-
Somatic Sensory
input from skin, skeletal muscle, joints, limbs
General includes touch, pain, pressure, vibration, temperature, proprioception from the skin, body wall and limbs
Special includes hearing, equilibrium and vision
Anatomy
-
Central Nervous System
Microglia
Phagocytes, remove microbes
-
Astrocytes
-
-
Supports neurons structurally, helps maintain appropriate chemical environment
-
-
-
-
Gray Matter
-
Deep gray matter of brain, nuclei
Outer part of the brain, covers surface of cerebrum
White Matter
-
Lipid is white, myelination of lipid
