Document Summary
Chapter sixteen: define the term sensation, and distinguish between the general senses and the special senses, sensation, perception, sensory modality. Iv. general senses somatic senses visceral senses special senses: process of sensation. Ii. stimulus selectivity: describe the classification of receptors, types of sensory receptors based on microscopic features, free nerve endings, encapsulated nerve endings, separate cells, generator potential, receptor potential. Ii. based on location and activating stimuli: exteroceptors, interoceptors, proprioceptors. Iii. based on type of stimulus detected: mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, photoreceptors, chemoreceptors, osmoreceptors, adaptation in sensory receptors. Ii. rapidly adapting receptor or phasic receptor slowly adapting receptor or tonic receptor: describe the location and function of the receptors for tactile sensations, thermal sensations and pain, somatic sensations, cutaneous sensations, tactile sensations, touch. Ii. nociceptor types of pain: fast pain, slow pain, superficial somatic pain, deep somatic pain, visceral pain localization of pain, referred pain.
