Describe each of the following types of receptors, indicating what sensation it detects and giving an example of where it can be found in the body: pain receptors (nociceptors), temperature receptors,mechanoreceptors (including proprioceptors and barorceptors/pressoreceptors), chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors.
Name the five types of special senses present in the human body.
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.

Where in the brain does this takes place and explain how this mechanism would enable you to localize a sound coming from your left side.arrow_forward
- The transmission of sensory information requires the input of free energy. For each sensory system (olfaction, gustation, vision, hearing, and touch), identify mechanisms for the input of free energy that allow the transmission of sensory information.arrow_forwardDescribe the initiation of an action potential in an olfactoryneuron.

Many affected individuals have difficulty understanding words because, although they may be able to hear the sound, they are unable to distinguish the exact words. This hearing loss is most noticeable at higher frequencies. Which of the following statements correctly describes an individual suffering from presbycusis? Select one: a. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the base of the cochlea, which is closest to the oval window. b. Increasing the volume of higher frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better. O c. Individuals with presbycusis have damaged hair cells at the apex of the cochlea, which is farthest from to the oval window. Od. Decreasing the amplitude of lower frequency sound allows individuals affected with presbycusis to hear better.arrow_forward
- A major function of the middle ear is to transmit sound vibrations from the external ear to the inner ear. Use words and arrows to make a flow-chart (words with arrows) that depicts the middle ear structures in the order in which sound vibrations are passed as they make their way from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear.arrow_forwardHow do we perceive stimuli in everyday life. Describe this pathway (do not list) for vision OR olfaction using the key words listed below. (Note: Be sure you can do this for sound and balance too) Start with the stimulus and end with its perception in the cortex. (Note: words are in no particular order). Key words for vision: photoreceptor, retina, light, visual cortex, optic nerve (CN II), action potentials, optic chiasm, optic tract, LGN of thalamus, “I see light!” Key words for olfaction: odorant, olfactory receptor cell, olfactory nerve (CN I), g-proteins, olfactory bulb, olfactory tract, olfactory cortex, action potentials, odor molecules. “I smell coffee!”arrow_forwardName two senses that depend on mechanoreceptors and describe their functions, including the specific organs and structures where the mechanoreceptos are located.arrow_forward
