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.
