| 3 classifications of receptors by location. | (1) Exteroceptors (outside body), (2) interoceptors (w/in body), (3) proprioceptors (in ligaments, joints, muscles, & CT). |

| Intrafusal Fibers | Bundle of modified skeletal muscle fibers - make muscle spindles - enclosed in CT |
| Golgi tendon organs consist of __. | Small bundles of tendon (collagen) fibers. |
| When Golgi tendon organs are activated, the contracting muscle __. | Is inhibited, which causes it to relax. |
| Which 4 receptor types contribute to joint kinesthetic receptors? | Pacinian, ruffini, free nerve endings, & Golgi-like organ. |
| Somatosensory System | That part of sensory system serving body wall & limbs that receives input from receptors & transmits info. |
| 3 main levels of neural integration in somatosensory system. | (1) Receptor level, (2) Circuit level (ascending pathways), & (3) Perceptual level (neuronal circuits in cerebral cortex). |
| Phasic receptors | Fast adapting receptors often giving bursts of impulses @ beginning/end of stimulus - Pacinian & Meissner's. |
| Tonic Receptors | Sustained response w/little or no adaptation - nociceptors & most proprioceptors. |
| The task at the circuit level is to __. | Deliver impulses to appropriate region of cerebral cortex for stimulus location & perception. |
| Ascending sensory pathways typically consist of __. | A chain of 3 neurons - 1st, 2nd, & 3rd order sensory neurons. |
| Axons of 1st order sensory neurons __. | Link receptor & circuit levels of processing - cell bodies in dorsal root or cranial ganglia. |
| Impulses reach conscious awareness in the __. | Sensory Cortex |
| Fibers in the nonspecific ascending pathways __. | Transmit pain, temp, & coarse touch impulses. Emotional aspects of perception (pleasure/pain) |
| Specific ascending pathways are involved in __. | Discriminative aspects of touch (tactile), vibration, pressure, & conscious proprioception (limb & joint position) |
| "Noxious Stimuli" | Anything damaging to tissues. |
| Body's pain-producing chemicals | Prostaglandins & bradykinins |
| Pain-producing chemicals activate __. | Specific receptors on small-diameter C fibers, & initiates pain signals. |
| Surface, somatic localized pain transmitted on __. | Myelinated A delta fibers. |
| Deep somatic pain always indicates __. | Tissue Damage - unmyelinated C fibers. |
| The pain neurotransmitter | Substance P & glutamate |
| Hyperalgesia | Pain amplification |
| Nerve | Parallel bundles of peripheral axons enclosed by successive wrappings of CT. |
| Layers of CT around nerve, inferior to superior. | Endoneurium - perineurium - epineurium. |
| Ganglia | Collections of cell bodies of nerves in PNS - afferent & efferent. |
| Wallerian Degeneration | Axon & myelin sheath distal to injury of neuron begins to disintegrate w/o nutrients. |
| Regeneration of a peripheral nerve. | (1) Fragmentation of axon, (2) Macrophages destroy axon, (3) Axon filaments grow w/in regeneration tube formed by Schwann cells, (4) regenerated axon & formation of new myelin sheath. |
| CAMs | Cell adhesion molecules that encourage growth of axon & from regeneration tube. |
| Regeneration Tube | System of cellular cords that guide regenerating axon "sprouts" across gap & to original contacts. |
