functional and structural characteristics can be used to group sensory receptors
into different classes. list and describe five types of sensory receptors according
to the type of stimulus detected. question 7.
mechanoreceptor - detects mechanical stimuli such as touch pressure or vibration.
thermo-receptor - detects changes in temperature such as hot or cold.
photoreceptor - eyes detect light
chemoreceptor - detects chemicals in the mouth, nose and bodily fluids
osmoreceptor - sense osmotic pressure of bodily fluids
The autonomic nervous system is divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic
divisions. describe five physiological/ fight or flight responses that occur during
E situations. describe the five sludd responses that conserve and restore body
energy during times of rest and recovery. Question 6.
physiological fight or flight responses, E situations - dilated pupils, increased heart rate,
airways dilate, decreased blood flow to kidneys and stomach, decrease digestion.
, S - increased salivation
L - increased lacrimate
U - increased urination
D - increased digestion
D - increased defecation
choose two special senses and describe stimulus involved, structural
classification and name of sensory receptor, and one associated cranial nerve
include name and number. question 8.
smell
stimulus - odorant
structural classification - 1st neuron with free nerve endings
sensory receptor - olfactory receptor cells
cranial nerve - CN1 Olfactory
vision
stimulus - light
structural classification - sensory cell synapses with first order neurone
sensory receptor - photoreceptor and exteroceptor
cranial nerve - CNII optic
an action potential is a sequence of rapidly occurring events that decrease and
reverse the membrane potential and restore it to its resting state. discuss the
three phases involved in an action potential by including the name of the phase,
ions and channels involved, and change in MV. question 2.
