1 Chapter 36 Sensory Reception

2 Sensory Receptors Mechanoreceptors Thermoreceptors
Pressure, position, and acceleration Thermoreceptors Heat Pain Receptors (Nociceptors) Pain and tissue damage Chemoreceptors Chemical and pH changes in fluids Osmoreceptors Water volume Photoreceptors Visible and UV light

3 Sensory Pathways Receptor endings of a sensory neuron are stimulated by stepping on a tack

4 Sensory Adaptation The effects of increases in stimulus strength
Increase in frequency corresponds to increases in strength of stimulus

5 Receptors Near the Body Surface
Receptors in human skin

6 I. Sense of Taste Chemoreceptor 4 Sensations
Sweet, sour, salty, bitter

7 II. Sense of Smell Olfactory Gases Pheromones

8 Try this one Ok one more

9 III. Components of the Human Ear
External Middle Stirrup Anvil Hammer Inner Cochlea

10 A. Sense of Balance Location of Internal Ear in Human

11 Sense of Balance Inner ear Vestibular apparatus Semicircular canals
Equilibrium Fluid-filled sacs Vestibular apparatus Hair cells Otoliths Linear Motion Semicircular canals Rotational motion Acceleration

12 Inside a Human Ear Sense of Balance

13 B. Sense of Hearing Perception of Sounds Wavelength Amplitude
Frequency

14 Sensory Reception in the Human Ear
Cochlea Acoustical receptors Hair cells Sound reception

15 C. Origin of Corti Basilar membrane Scala vestibuli Scala tympani

16 Another one? Last one

17 IV. Sense of Vision A. Eyes Photoreceptors Pigments Simple Eyes

18 B. Complex Eyes Developed eye Lens Cornea Compound Photoreceptor

19 1. Structure and Function of Vertebrate Eyes
Outer layer Sclera & Cornea Middle layer Choroid Ciliary body Iris & Pupil Inner layer Retina Lens Vitreous body

20 2. Pattern of Retinal Stimulation
Upside-down and reversed left to right

21 3. Focusing Mechanisms Visual Accommodation
Ciliary Muscle Far objects Near objects

22 4. Organization of the Retina

23 Organization of the Retina
Rods Detect dim light Rhodopsin Absorbs blue-to-green Cones Detect bright light Red, green, and blue Each with different pigment

24 Organization of Retina
Visual information flows from photoreceptors to: Bipolar sensory neurons Ganglion cells Horizontal cells Amacrine cells

25 5. On to the Visual Cortex Right side of retina Left side of retina
Intercepts light from left half of visual field Left side of retina Intercepts light from right half of visual field Optic Nerve - Signals from right visual field to left hemisphere, from left visual field to right hemisphere

26 On to the Visual Cortex

27 Disorders of the Human Eye
Nearsighted vision Focal point in in front of retina

28 Disorders of the Human Eye
Farsighted Vision Focal point occurs behind the retina

29 Disorders of the Human Eye
Color blindness Red-green color blindness X-linked trait Diseases Infections Herpes, Histoplasmosis Trachoma Age-related Cataracts Glaucoma Injuries Retinal detachment Technologies Corneal transplants Radial keratotomy Laser coagulation
