Study Notes
Sensory Systems Classification
- Interoceptors detect internal stimuli in viscera, blood vessels, etc.
- Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli like pressure, touch, stretch, and vibration.
- Spinal pathways consist of three successive neurons: 1st order neurons, 2nd order neurons, and 3rd order neurons.
- Ascending tracts of spinal pathways include posterior (dorsal) column pathways, spinocerebellar pathways, and anterolateral (spinothalamic) pathways.
- The motor systems include the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System.
- The Somatic Nervous System involves upper and lower motor neurons for skeletal muscle control.
- The Autonomic Nervous System has preganglionic and postganglionic neurons, with the effectors being cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands.
- The Autonomic Nervous System is subdivided into the sympathetic NS and the parasympathetic NS, which have different functions.
- Comparison of Sympathetic NS and Parasympathetic NS includes differences in the cell body of preganglionic neuron, autonomic ganglia location, axon length, function, and nerve exit points.
- The eye is a three-layered sphere filled with fluid, with the fibrous tunic as the superficial layer.
- The fibrous tunic includes the sclera, cornea, and conjunctiva, serving as protective and light-permitting structures for the eye.
