Study Notes
General Senses
- Receptors are distributed over a large part of the body, including senses for touch, pressure, pain, temperature, vibration, itch, and proprioception.
- Provide sensory information about the body and the environment.
Somatic Senses
- Provide information about various internal organs, such as pain and pressure.
- Involved in detecting touch, pressure, pain, temperature, vibration, itch, and proprioception.
Touch Receptors
- Meissner's corpuscles are involved in detecting light touch and superficial pressure.
- Meissner's corpuscles are more structurally complex than nerve free endings.
- Free nerve endings are the simplest and most common type of sensory receptor.
Non-General Senses
- Vision is NOT a type of general sense.
Functions
- Proprioception is a function of somatic senses.
- Detecting hunger is NOT a function of somatic senses.
