Exteroceptors (cutaneous - On or near the body surface
receptors) - 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 3 possible Cranial nerves involved: 7, 9
cranial 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
