BIOL 224 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Sensory Neuron, Biological Neural Network
Document Summary
Chemicals from environment in uence a receptor protein in membrane of sensory receptor (ex: olfaction=distant & taste=near) An internal sensory receptor responds to some chemical property of bodily uids (ex: blood ph, 02, etc) Each receptor cell responds to a different stimulus (salt, sugar, etc) Each receptor has a preferred chemical sensitivity. Taste transduction: salt & sour = simple, sweet, bitter, and umami = complex. Neural integration = generation of a motor output based on the sum of sensory inputs to a neuronal network.
