Introduction
• General senses• Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body• Skin, various organs and joints• Touch, pain, temperature, pressure, ect.
• Special senses• Specialized receptors confined to structures in the head • Vision, Taste, Smell, Hearing
![Page 3: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Receptors, Sensation, and Perception
• Sensory receptors• Specialized cells or multicellular structures that collect information from the environment
• Stimulate neurons to send impulses along sensory fibers to the brain
• Sensation• A feeling that occurs when brain becomes aware of sensory impulse
• Perception• A person’s view of the stimulus; the way the brain interprets the information

Receptor Types
• Chemoreceptors• Respond to changes in chemical concentrations (smell, taste, pH)
• Pain receptors (nociceptors)• Respond to tissue damage
• Thermoreceptors• Respond to changes in temperature
• Mechanoreceptors• Respond to mechanical forces• Stretch receptors, proprioceptors, baroreceptors
• Photoreceptors• Respond to light
![Page 6: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Projection• Process in which the brain projects the sensation back to the apparent source• It allows a person to pinpoint the region of stimulation
Sensations and Perception
![Page 7: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Ability to ignore unimportant stimuli
• Involves a decreased response to a particular stimulus from the receptors (peripheral adaptation) 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
Sensory Adaptation

Proprioception
• Mechanoreceptors
• Send information to spinal cord and CNS about body position and length, and tension of muscles
• Main kinds of proprioceptors:• Pacinian corpuscles – in joints• Muscle spindles – in skeletal muscles*• Golgi tendon organs – in tendons*
*considered to be stretch receptors

section 2, chapter 12 Smell, Taste, and Hearing
• 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
![Page 22: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Sense of Smell
• Olfactory receptors• Bipolar Chemoreceptors• Respond to chemicals (called odorants) dissolved in liquids
• Olfactory organs• Olfactory epithelium - contain olfactory receptors and supporting epithelial cells
• Cover parts of nasal cavity, superior nasal conchae, and a portion of the nasal septum
![Page 23: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Olfactory Receptors
Figure 12.5 Olfactory receptors. (a) columnar epithelial cells support olfactory receptor cells, which have cilia at their distal ends. The olfactory receptors pass through olfactory foramina in the cribriform plate and synapse with the olfactory bulb in the brain.
(b) Olfactory epithelium cover the upper nasal cavity and superior nasal conchae.
![Page 24: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Olfactory Nerve Pathways
• Once olfactory receptors are stimulated, nerve impulses travel through• •Olfactory nerves olfactory bulbs olfactory tracts
limbic system (for emotions) & olfactory cortex (for interpretation)
The limbic system, which is involved with emotions and memory is strongly effected by smell.
![Page 25: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Olfactory Stimulation
• Olfactory code• Hypothesis • Odor that is stimulated by a distinct set of receptor cells and its associated receptor proteins
• 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
![Page 26: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Major Groups of Retinal Neurons
• Receptor cells, bipolar cells, and ganglion cells - provide pathway for impulses triggered by photoreceptors to reach the optic nerve
• Horizontal cells and amacrine cells – modify impulses
Figure 12. Notice that photoreceptors (rods and cones) are the posterior most cells in this circuit. Light waves stimulate the photoreceptors, which send impulses forward to horizontal cells and ganglion cells before leaving the eye
through the optic disc.
![Page 69: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
• Rods• Long, thin projections• Contain light sensitive pigment called rhodopsin• Hundred times more sensitive to light than cones• Provide vision in dim light• Produce outlines of objects
• Cones• Short, blunt projections• Provide vision in bright light• Produce sharp images• Produce color vision• Pigments include:
• Erythrolabe – responds to red• Chlorolabe – responds to green• Cyanolabe – responds to blue
Visual Receptors
Color perceived depends on which sets of cones are stimulated

Visual Nerve Pathways
Axons from ganglion cells in retina leave the eyes to form the optic nerves.
Some of the fibers decussate at the optic chiasm.• Fibers from the nasal (medial) half of retina cross over• Fibers from temporal half (lateral) of retina do not cross over
Most fibers of the optic tract continue to the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, which relays impulses towards the visual cortex.
![Page 75: Chapter 12 The Senses. 2 Introduction General senses Receptors are widely distributed throughout the body Skin, various organs and joints Touch, pain,](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050809/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf814/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
