Subdivisions of Nervous System Central nervous system (CNS) Spinal cord Brain Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Nerves Ganglia 12-2 Functional Classes of Neurons Peripheral nervous system Central nervous system Differences between Nerve Cells and Receptor Cells 1 3 Sensory (afferent) neurons conduct signals from receptors to the CNS. Motor (efferent) neurons conduct signals from the CNS to effectors such as muscles and glands. 2 Interneurons (association neurons) are confined to the CNS. Nervous System: 1) Detect stimuli and send to brain (sensory) 2) Interpret the information received 3) Respond to information (motor) Nerve Cells: - Action Potential - Electrical current runs down the cell - Triggers release of neurotransmitters 12-3 Sensory receptors are located throughout the body can be classified by: 1. Based on origin of stimuli: Exteroceptors (external) Interoceptors (within body organs) Proprioceptors 2. Based on energy they respond to (modality): - Mechanorecptor - Thermoreceptor - Chemoreceptor - Osmoreceptors - Photoreceptor - Nociceptors Classification of Receptors 3. by distribution general (somesthetic) senses - widely distributed special senses - limited to head vision, hearing, equilibrium, taste, and smell Some receptors are neurons
2 Receptors Transmit Four Kinds of Information 1. Modality - type of stimulus or the sensation it produce vision, hearing, taste Receptive Fields 2. Location encoded by which nerve fibers are issuing signals to the brain receptive field area that detects stimuli for a sensory neuron receptive fields vary in size fingertip versus skin on back two-point touch discrimination Neuron Neuron 1 Neuron 2 Neuron 3 (a) One large receptive field (arrow) (b) Three small receptive fields (arrows) Receptors Transmit Four Kinds of Information 3. Intensity which fibers are sending signals how many fibers are firing how fast these fibers are firing 4. Duration how long the stimulus lasts 1. phasic receptor generate a burst of action potentials when first stimulated, then quickly adapt and sharply reduce or stop signaling even though the stimulus continues smell, hair movement, and cutaneous pressure 2. tonic receptor - adapt slowly, generate nerve signals more steadily proprioceptors - body position, muscle tension, and joint motion 16-9 Fig.41.8 Vestibule (Utricle & Saccule) Bony labyrinth 2

(c) Fluid vibrations Tympanic canal Fig Gustatory Sensation: Taste Chemoreceptors: Sesory receptors that respond to chemicals Taste (gustation) (taste buds) Smell (olfaction) (olfactory cells) Taste requires dissolving of substances Four classes of stimuli-- sour, bitter, sweet, and salty 10,000 taste buds found on tongue, soft palate & larynx Found on sides of circumvallate & fungiform papillae 3 cell types: supporting, receptor & basal cells Dad!!
