Document Summary
General senses have receptors throughout the entire body: further divided into the somatic senses and visceral senses. Proprioception whole concept of body understanding where its muscles and joints are relative to each other: bodies position relative to itself and the ground. Involved in touch and pressure o: physically opening ion gates by bending or stretching or compressing the cells, hearing and balance use mechanoreceptors to generate action potentials. Chemoreceptors: chemicals become attached to receptors on their membranes. Smell and taste: kind of like a ligand receptor, chemical can bind to something nearby that causes, chemical that binds to receptor that can be turned into action potential, smell and taste. Thermoreceptors: respond to changes in temperature: open or close depending on cold or hot stimulus. Nociceptors: extreme mechanical, chemical, or thermal stimuli. Photoreceptors: respond to light: vision: very specified to retina of eye o.
