what are the 5 types of sensation - correct answer 1. somatic
2. vision
3. audition (hearing)
4. vestibular
5. chemical sense (smell, taste)
what sensations are included in somatic sensation? - correct answer - light touch, pressure,
vibration
- proprioception (limb position)
- pain, temp, crude touch
what is transduction? - correct answer the conversion of a stimulus into an electrical impulse
- the stimulus triggers an AP on the sensory receptor membrane, which initiates its
transmission along the neuroaxis
what is transmission - correct answer the propagation of the electrical impulse created by a
stimulus
- from the tissues to the brain
What is modulation? - correct answer the alteration of impulse transmission along neuroaxis
What is perception? - correct answer the impulse interpretation
- includes not only sensory impulse reception but also the consolidation of many other inputs
(ex: emotional)
somatosensory afferents convey info from __________ to _________ circuits - correct answer
periphery to central
what is sensory transduction? - correct answer process of converting energy of a stimulus into
an electrical signal
in sensory transduction, a stimulus alters the _________________ of cation channels in the
________ nerve ending - correct answer permeability
afferent
, sensory transduction generates a depolarizing current called: _______ _______ - correct
answer receptor potential

is generated in the ___________ fiber - correct answer action potential
afferent
afferent fibers are often _______________ by specialized receptor cells called
________________ - correct answer encapsulated
mechanoreceptors
encapsulated afferent endings typically have _______ ______________ for AP generation -
correct answer lower threshold
free nerve endings do not have __________________ receptor cells and they have ________
touch - correct answer specialized, crude
________ _________ and ____________ influence the speed of transmission - correct answer
