Exam 14: Integration of Nervous System Functions

The conscious perception of cutaneous sensations occurs in the cerebral cortex, but these sensations are perceived as if they were on the surface of the body. This is called

Receptors that in general produce an action potential in response to a receptor potential are

Indicate the order of each of the following in a descending pathway. (1) cerebral cortex (2) pyramids (3) cerebral peduncles (4) internal capsule

HAPS Objective: H06.01 Describe exteroceptors, interoceptors and proprioceptors in terms of the general location of each in the body and the origin of the stimuli that each receives. HAPS Objective: H06.02 Describe each of the following types of receptors, indicating what sensation it detects and giving an example of where it can be found in the body- pain receptors (nociceptors), temperature receptors, mechanoreceptors (including proprioceptors and barorceptors/pressoreceptors), chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors. HAPS Objective: H06.03 Explain the generator potential that occurs when receptors for general senses are stimulated. -The diagram illustrates sensory nerve endings in the skin. What is the function of "D"?

Match the sensation with the appropriate receptor type. -hair follicle receptors D
