Study Notes

Sensory Systems Classification

Sensory systems are classified based on location, type of stimulus, and structure.
Interoceptors detect internal stimuli in viscera and blood vessels.
Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli like pressure, touch, and vibration.
Neuronal pathways involve ascending spinal pathways and their three successive neurons.
Ascending tracts include posterior column, spinocerebellar, and anterolateral pathways.
Motor systems consist of upper and lower motor neurons for somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
The somatic nervous system includes direct and indirect motor pathways for voluntary and complex movements.
The autonomic nervous system involves a two-neuron pathway with preganglionic and postganglionic neurons.
It has sympathetic and parasympathetic subdivisions, with different functions and exit points from the CNS.
The eye is a three-layered sphere filled with fluid, including the fibrous tunic with the sclera, conjunctiva, and cornea.
The eye also has a vascular mucus membrane and a transparent anterior "window" for light to enter.
The autonomic nervous system has a comparison between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in terms of function, location, and nerves' exit points.
