General sense
Sensory receptor
- Chemoreceptor
- Respond to water & lipid soluble compounds
- Respiratory center of medulla oblongata, carotid, arteries, aortic arch
- Rapid adaption
- 3 Mechanoreceptor
- Tactile receptor
- Free nerve endings
- A fast myelinated
- Not in cartilage, lens
- Nonspecific - pain, touch, pressure, temp
- Rapid adaption
- Root hair plexus
- Monitor movement of hair follicle
- Displacement of hair distorts sensory dendrites
- Generates AP
- Rapid adaption
- Merkel disc = tonic
- Large, myelinated afferent fiber
- Fingertips, superficial skin
- Very small receptive field
- Pressure, touch
- Tactile disc + Merkel cells at basal + dendrite of single myelinated afferent fiber
- Slow adaption
- Meissner's
- Large, myelinated
- Glabrous skin, eyelid, lip, fingertip, nipple, external genitalia
- Fine touch, low fx vibration
- Rapid adaption
- Pacinian
- Large, myelinated
- Finger, mammary, external genitalia, fasciae, joint capsule, viscera
- Pressure, high fx vibration
- Rapid adaption
- Ruffini = tonic
- Large, myelinated
- Fingertip, joint
- Stretch, joint angle change, pressure
- Slow adaption
- 3 Proprioceptor - recognize position, weight discrimination
- Muscle spindle
- Stretch reflex
- Muscle length
- Slow adaption
- Golgi tendon organs
- Tension
- Slow adaption
- Joint kinesthetic receptors - rapid adaptation
- Joint - acceleration, deceleration
- Rapid adaption
- Baroceptor
- Blood vessel pressure in digestive, urinary, respiratory
- Thermoreceptor = phasic
- Cold 3-4x warm
- Free nerve endings in dermis, skeletal muscle, liver
- Initial rapid adaption
- Nociceptor
- Free nerve endings everywhere not in brain
- Fast pain: sensation reach CNS fast, A
- Slow pain: C
- Superficial, Deep somatic, Visceral
