could we name the sensory receptors “middle m

Draw a simple (typical of somatic senses) and a complex (typical of special senses) sensory neuron (receptor). Where applicable, label the cell body, the axon, the nerve endings, myelin, and the axon terminal.

Receptors within the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity project to the glomeruli, which project to the mitral cells, which project as cranial nerve one to the pyriform and the entorhinal cortex located in the anterior and medial temporal lobe. What's odd about this sensory pathway, unlike other sensory pathways? Select one: a. it does not show sensory adaptation b. there is no thalamic nuclei processing olfactory infomation prior to processing in the primary cortex c. loss of smell can be a result of damage to the temporal lobe or damage to the olfactory receptor cells d. it processes information ipsilaterally e. the primary olfactory cortex is not part of the telencephalon

In the process of sensory coding    Recruitment of additional neurons occurs with a weak stimulus in order to make the stimulus stronger.   The larger the receptive field of a sensory receptor, the greater the expected acuity and the more accurate the two-point discrimination.    Lateral inhibition of neighboring receptors resulting in a relative reduction of action potentials in the neighboring second order neurons would be expected to increase acuity.   A receptor potential that remains suprathreshold into the absolute refractory period will result in additional action potentials.

Classify the following inputs and outputs as either somatic sensory (SS), visceral sensory (VS), somatic motor (SM), or visceral motor (VM).__(1) pain from skin__(2) taste__(3) efferent innervation of a gland__(4) efferent innervation of the gluteus maximus__(5) a stomachache__(6) a sound one hears__(7) efferent innervation of the masseter

Match the following statements to the type of cell in the eye each describes (rods or cones). Select "Both" if the statement is true of both cell types. Rods Directly detects light coming into the eye. Different types of this cell Cones respond to different wavelengths (colors) of light. More sensitive to low levels of light. Rods Found in high concentrations at the fovea centralis. Cones < <

Which of the following can readily adapt to a continuous stimulus! baroreceptor somatic pressure receptor Osmoreceptor somatic pain receptor visceral pain receptors

Group of answer…

Identify, in correct order, of sensation to perception, the major connections of the pathway underlying fine touch, and pressure.   afferent axons decussate at medulla    primary somatosensory cortex activated somatosensory humunculus according to where on body touch was felt   free nerve endings depolarize dendrites of peripheral afferents   axons in the medial lemniscus terminate in the ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus   axons of afferents enter into dorsal horn of spinal cord and ascend ipsilaterally

In the sensory receptors called “encapsulated nerve endings,” what is the “capsule” made of?
