- 1.The 5 special senses are ___, _____, _____, ____,____.
- 2.Mechanoreceptors respond to.......
- 3.Nociceptors respond to......
- 4.What are the 4 steps in the process of sensation?1.2.3.4.
- 5.Name and describe ALL receptors associated with the skin/touch.1. Free nerve ending = unspecific, simple. found throughout the body. pain, temp., itch, movement2. Touch= more complex crude touch-- something has contacted skin find touch- where, what, and texture (specific)
- 6.------ TYPES OF TOUCH RECEPTORS ----Merkel disc=
- A.
Light touch, superficial pressure, in epidermis, found on lips, fingertips, and hands
- B.
In dermis, ligaments and tendons. found on hands and soles of feet. sensitve to stretching as digits and limbs are moved and continued pressure.
- C.
Wide spread, dermis, subcutaenous, under mucous and serous membranes, joints. recognizes deep pressure and vibration. Associated with proprioception. pressure
- 7.--- TYPES OF TOUCH RECEPTORS ---Pacinian Corpuscles=
- A.
Wide spread, dermis, subcutaenous, under mucous and serous membranes, joints. recognizes deep pressure and vibration. Associated with proprioception. pressure
- B.
In dermis, ligaments and tendons. found on hands and soles of feet. sensitve to stretching as digits and limbs are moved and continued pressure.
- C.
Light touch, superficial pressure, in epidermis, found on lips, fingertips, and hands
- 8.Explain thermal sensation.thermoreceptors- free nerve endings. warmth vs. coldness - different receptors. anything above or below stimulate pain receptors.
- 9.Explain painful sensation. Nociceptors- free nerve endings. everywhere except brain. extreme, thermal, mechanical, or chemical stimuli. tissue damage causes release of prostaglandins, kinins, and potassium ions. pain may persist because chemicals linger.

- 24.Describe dynamic equilibrium and how it is maintained.
- 25.What are the components of (bones) matrix?
