/REVISION USE/24/25
1. sensory vs. perception: for perception to happen, the sensory signal must reach
the cerebrum
2. adaptation: the ability to no longer perceive sensations due to prolonged expo- sure
3. free nerve endings: pain, temperature changes, tickle, itch
4. encapsulated nerve endings: touch, pressure, vibration
5. special sensory cells: used to create special sensory reception
6. exteroceptors: sensations from outside the body
7. interoceptors: sensations from inside the body
8. proprioreceptors: where your body is in space and time
9. mechanoreceptors: stretch (touch, pressure, vibrations, stretch, proprioception)
10.osmoreceptors: osmolarity
11.thermoreceptors: temperature
12.chemoreceptors: chemicals
13.photoreceptors: light
, 14.nociceptors: pain, fast (acute-sharp stabbing)
15.referred pain: the pain is broadcast to spots on your skin just over the organs or
even far from it
16.Referred pain liver and gallbladder: right upper quadrant/ right shoulder
17.referred pain of stomach: inferior to the xyphoid process and intermediate to
the scapulae
18.referred pain of the small intestines: umbilicus region
19.referred pain of the kidneys: superior to umbilicus and wraps around body
down to thigh
20.referred pain of ureters: inguinal region, inferior aspect of the rectus abdomi-
nus
21.referred pain of bladder: five areas
superficial to sacral region
lower portion of umbilicus
region central in the
inguinal region
two bilateral glute muscles
22.tactile receptors: touch, pressure, vibration, itch, and tickle
