HLSC 2410 - LECTURE 9 MOTOR PHYSIOLOGY EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
VERIFIED LATEST UPDATE
afferent sensory pathway
flow of information from sensory receptors --> spinal cord --> brain
sensory system
part of the PNS; function is to transmit information about sensory stimuli from the
peripheral nervous system to the brain
transduction
the action or process of converting something and especially, energy or a message, into
another form
sensory coding
different patterns of neural activity to convey stimulus characteristics (type or modality,
intensity, location, duration)
sensory receptors
specialized endings of afferent neurons (a- direct) or separate cells adjacent to afferent
neurons (b- indirect)
intensity
frequency of action potentials on the afferent neurons
afferent
sensory; arrive at CNS
