Document Summary

Interpretation is perception: colors, intensity of light: ti(cid:373)uli a(cid:396)e dete(cid:272)ted (cid:271)(cid:455) r"s, (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h a(cid:396)e di(cid:448)ided into 2 classes, general senses, temperature, pain, touch, stretch & pressure, special senses, gustation, olfaction, vision, equilibrium and audition. Importance: how do we ascertain information about the stimulus, all it is pattern, helps with interpretation as well as important, b is more important than a greater frequency of nerve impulses, it is more important. Classification of receptors: ge(cid:374)e(cid:396)al r"s a(cid:396)e dist(cid:396)i(cid:271)uted th(cid:396)oughout the ski(cid:374) & o(cid:396)ga(cid:374)s, (cid:449)he(cid:396)eas spe(cid:272)ial se(cid:374)se. Interoceptors - sensitive to stimuli that arise inside body, internal viscera. & bld vessels (chemical changes, stretching, temperature); unaware of workings: proprioceptors - respond to internal stimuli from skeletal muscle, joints, tendons, ligaments & ct of bone and muscles. Modality of stimulus: chemoreceptors - chemicals in solution, thermoreceptors - temperature, photoreceptors - light energy, mechanoreceptors - mechanical force, baroreceptors pressure within body structure, nociceptors - potentially damaging stimuli that result in pain.
