Exteroceptors (cutaneous receptors) - On or near the body surface
- e.g., pressure, touch, pain, temperature
Visceroceptors (interceptors) provides the body with information about the
internal environment, location internally, and often
found in body organs ( viscera )
Proprioceptors (a special type of provides information on body movement,
visceroceptor) orientation in space, and muscle stretch
located skeletal muscle, joint capsules and tendons
what two types of proprioceptors Tonic and phasic- they provide positional
are their ? information about the body
Olfaction smell better known as chemoreceptors
location- nasal cavity
olfactory function Carried to brain by olfactory nerve (I)• Sent to
limbic system first, then thalamus, then temporal
lobe.• Adapts quickly
- Usually the special senses to go the thalamus
directly. The smell goes to limbic first, then
thalamus.
, Gustation sense of taste with chemoreceptors
location- tongue and lining the pharynx
what is Gustation function and cranial 3 possible Cranial nerves involved: 7, 9 and 10
nerves involved? • Sent to the thalamus, then the temporal lobe
taste buds sensory organs in the mouth that contain the
receptors for taste
papillae bumps on tongue
gustatory receptor cells sensory cells in the taste bud that transduce the
chemical stimuli of gustation
Taste pore opening in taste bud
fibrous tunic cornea and sclera
vascular tunic choroid, ciliary body, iris
Retina Light sensitive layer of the eye; contains rods and
cones
pupil the adjustable opening in the center of the eye
through which light enters
Iris a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored
portion of the eye around the pupil and controls
the size of the pupil opening
ciliary body ring of tissue behind the peripheral iris that is
composed of ciliary muscle and ciliary processes
