What are the levels of neural Receptor Level, Circuit Level,Perceptual Level
integration in the sensory system?
Receptor Level where sensory receptor detect stimuli
, Circuit Level involves neural pathways that carry signals to the
brain
Perceptual Level where the brain interprets the sensory input
What causes pain and why is it Pain is caused by tissue damage or harmful stimuli.
beneficial? It's beneficial because it alerts the body to potential
injury.
What blocks pain impulses? Pain impulses are blocked by mechanisms like
endorphins or analgesic medications.
Visceral Pain felt in internal organs and is often dull or vague
Referred Pain pain felt in an area far from the source, caused
usually by shared pathways
What are the 5 types of sensory Mechanoreceptors, Thermoreceptors,
receptors based on stimulus type? Photoreceptors, Chemoreceptors, Nociceptors
Mechanoreceptors in skin respond to mechanical pressure or deformation
Thermoreceptors detect temperature change
Photoreceptors respond to light
Chemoreceptors detect chemical change
Nociceptors detect pain
What are the 3 types of sensory Exteroceptors, Interoceptors, Proprioceptors
receptors based on location?
Exteroceptors detect external stimuli (e.g., skin receptors)
Interoceptors detect internal stimuli (e.g., organ stretch)
