General Senses• receptors that are widely distributed throughout the body• skin, various organs and joints
Special Senses• specialized receptors confined to structures in the head • eyes and ears
4
Chemoreceptors• respond to changes in chemical concentrations
Pain receptors (Nociceptors)• respond to tissue damage
Thermoreceptors• respond to changes in temperature
Mechanoreceptors• respond to mechanical forces
Photoreceptors• respond to light
5
• stimulation of receptor causes local change in its receptor potential
• a graded electrical current is generated that reflects intensity of stimulation
• if receptor is part of a neuron, the membrane potential may generate an action potential
• if receptor is not part of a neuron, the receptor potential must be transferred to a neuron to trigger an action potential
• peripheral nerves transmit impulses to CNS where they are analyzed and interpreted in the brain
6
Projection process in which the brain projects the sensation back to the apparent source it allows a person to pinpoint the region of stimulation
7
• ability to ignore unimportant stimuli (clothes)
• involves a decreased response to a particular stimulus from the receptors (peripheral adaptations) or along the CNS pathways leading to the cerebral cortex (central adaptation)
• sensory impulses become less frequent and may cease
• stronger stimulus is required to trigger impulses
8
Free nerve endings• common in epithelial tissues• simplest receptors• sense itching
Meissner’s corpuscles• abundant in hairless portions of skin; lips• detect fine touch; distinguish between two points on the skin
Pacinian corpuscles• common in deeper subcutaneous tissues, tendons, and ligaments• detect heavy pressure and vibrations
Touch and Pressure Receptors

10
Warm receptors• sensitive to temperatures above 25oC (77o F)• unresponsive to temperature above 45oC (113oF)
Cold receptors• sensitive to temperature between 10oC (50oF) and 20oC (68oF)
Pain receptors• respond to temperatures below 10oC• respond to temperatures above 45oC
11
• free nerve endings • widely distributed
• nervous tissue of brain lacks pain receptors
• stimulated by tissue damage, chemical, mechanical forces, or extremes in temperature
• adapt very little, if at all
12
• pain receptors are the only receptors in viscera whose stimulation produces sensations
• pain receptors respond differently to stimulation
• not well localized
• may feel as if coming from some other part of the body• known as referred pain
13
• may occur due to sensory impulses from two regions following a common nerve pathway to brain
14
Acute pain fibers• A-delta fibers •thin, myelinated• conduct impulses rapidly• associated with sharp pain• well localized
Chronic pain fibers• C fibers •thin, unmyelinated• conduct impulses more slowly• associated with dull, aching pain• difficult to pinpoint
15
Thalamus • allows person to be aware of pain
Cerebral Cortex • judges intensity of pain • locates source of pain• produces emotional and motor responses to pain
Pain Inhibiting Substances• enkephalins• serotonin• endorphins
16
• sensory receptors are within large, complex sensory organs in the head
• smell in olfactory organs
• taste in taste buds
• hearing and equilibrium in ears
• sight in eyes
17
Olfactory Receptors• chemoreceptors• respond to chemicals dissolved in liquids
Olfactory Organs• contain olfactory receptors and supporting epithelial cells
• cover parts of nasal cavity, superior nasal conchae, and a portion of the nasal septum
18
19
Once olfactory receptors are stimulated, nerve impulses travel through
• olfactory nerves olfactory bulbs olfactory tracts limbic system (for emotions) and olfactory cortex (for interpretation)
20
• olfactory organs located high in the nasal cavity above the usual pathway of inhaled air
• olfactory receptors undergo sensory adaptation rapidly
• sense of smell drops by 50% within a second after stimulation
21
Taste Buds• organs of taste• located on papillae of tongue, roof of mouth, linings of cheeks and walls of pharynx•Each has from 50-150 taste cells.
Taste Receptors• chemoreceptors• taste cells – modified epithelial cells that function as receptors• taste hairs –microvilli that protrude from taste cells; sensitive parts of taste cells
22
23
Five Primary Taste Sensations• sweet – stimulated by carbohydrates• sour – stimulated by acids• salty – stimulated by salts• bitter – stimulated by many organic compounds•umami- stimulated by certain amino acids
Spicy foods activate pain receptors
24
Sensory impulses from taste receptors travel along• cranial nerves to • medulla oblongata to• thalamus to • gustatory cortex (for interpretation)

Ear – organ of hearing
Three Sections• External• Middle• Inner
29
• auricle• collects sounds waves
• external auditory meatus• lined with ceruminous glands• carries sound to tympanic membrane• terminates with tympanic membrane
• tympanic membrane • vibrates in response to sound waves
30
• tympanic cavity• air-filled space in temporal bone• auditory ossicles
• vibrate in response to tympanic membrane• malleus, incus, and stapes
• oval window • opening in wall of tympanic cavity• stapes vibrates against it to move fluids in inner ear
31
• eustachian tube • connects middle ear to throat• helps maintain equal pressure on both sides of tympanic membrane• usually closed by valve-like flaps in throat
32
• complex system of labyrinths• osseous labyrinth
• bony canal in temporal bone• filled with perilymph
• membranous labyrinth• tube within osseous labyrinth• filled with endolymph
33
Three Parts of Labyrinths• cochlea
• functions in hearing• semicircular canals
• functions in equilibrium
• vestibule• functions in equilibrium
34
Scala vestibuli• upper compartment• leads from oval window to apex of spiral• part of bony labyrinth
Scala tympani• lower compartment• extends from apex of the cochlea to round window• part of bony labyrinth
Cochlea
35
Cochlear duct• portion of membranous labyrinth in cochlea
Vestibular membrane• separates cochlear duct from scala vestibuli
Basilar membrane• separates cochlear duct from scala tympani
Organ of Corti
36
• group of hearing receptor cells (hair cells)• on upper surface of basilar membrane• different frequencies of vibration move different parts of basilar membrane• particular sound frequencies cause hairs of receptor cells to bend• nerve impulse generated
Organ of Corti

Static Equilibrium• vestibule• sense position of head when body is not moving
Dynamic Equilibrium• semicircular canals• sense rotation and movement of head and body
41
• Utricle• communicates with saccule and membranous portion of semicircular canals
• Saccule• communicates with cochlear duct
• Mucula• hair cells of utricle and saccule
42
• responds to changes in head position• bending of hairs results in generation of nerve impulse
43
• three canals at right angles• ampulla
• swelling of membranous labyrinth that communicates with the vestibule
• crista ampullaris• sensory organ of ampulla• hair cells and supporting cells• rapid turns of head or body stimulate hair cells

64
65
Refraction • bending of light• occurs when light waves pass at an oblique angle into mediums of different densities
66
Convex lenses cause light waves to converge
Concave lenses cause light waves to diverge
67
• as light enters eye, it is refracted by• convex surface of cornea• convex surface of lens
• image focused on retina is upside down and reversed from left to right
68
Rods• long, thin projections• contain light sensitive pigment called rhodopsin• hundred times more sensitive to light than cones• provide vision in dim light• produce colorless vision• produce outlines of objects
Cones• short, blunt projections• contain light sensitive pigments called erythrolabe, chlorolabe, and cyanolabe• provide vision in bright light• produce sharp images• produce color vision
Rods and Cones
69
70
Rhodopsin• light-sensitive pigment in rods• decomposes in presence of light• triggers a complex series of reactions that initiate nerve impulses• impulses travel along optic nerve
Pigments on Cones• each set contains different light-sensitive pigment• each set is sensitive to different wavelengths• color perceived depends on which sets of cones are stimulated• erythrolabe – responds to red• chlorolabe – responds to green• cyanolabe – responds to blue
71
72
• provides perception of distance and depth• results from formation of two slightly different retinal images
73
