rhodopsin breaks down to scotopsin and retinene
(both colourless)
 Bleaching of visual pigments
 nerve impulse

Each cone synapses with only one bipolar neurone  low visual
sensitivity / tightly packed  high visual acuity
Many rod synapses with one bipolar neurone  high visual
sensitivity / less tightly packed  low visual acuity
16
trichromatic theory of colour vision
Sensation of any given colour is
determined by the relative frequency
of impulses reaching the brain from
each type of cone
stimulate both green and red cones
 yellow
-Colour blindness
-Red-green colour blindness

Mechanism of hearing

26
Mechanism of hearing
- pinna collects sound waves
- eardrum is set into vibrations
- ear ossicles amplify the vibration
- vibrations of oval window set the fluid in inner ear
into motion
- pressure waves in fluid set the basilar membrane
into vibrations.
- hairs of sensory hair cells in the Organ of Corti to
brush against the tectorial membrane
- hairs bend and this shearing force causes the
excitation of sensory hair cells
- excites the auditory nerve (the auditory part of VIIIth
cranial nerve) and initiates action potential.
- The auditory nerve conducts the action potential to
auditory cortex of cerebrum where the pitch, quality
27
and loudness of the sound are detected.

Functions of spinal cord
1. relays these sensory impulses to the brain
2. relay the motor impulses from the brain to
the limb muscles (e.g. leg muscles) via the
spinal nerves to effect coordinated movement
and to keep body in equilibrium posture.
3. a passage for nerve fibres to allow the
2-way conduction of nerve impulses to and
from the brain and the limb muscles (e.g. leg
muscles).
4. The spinal cord is the site for control of
somatic reflexes (e.g. withdrawal reflex)
which are involuntary actions.

51
Function of brain
- forebrain, midbrain / brain stem (腦幹)
and hindbrain
forebrain - cerebrum, thalamus
(丘腦) and
hypothalamus (下丘腦)
52
Cerebrum (大腦)
cerebral cortex – frontal, parietal, temporal
and occipital lobe
Grey matter on outer surface, white matter
inner surface
Cerebral cortex is highly folded to
increase the surface area for holding
more neurones for more complicated
coordination.
53
Functional area of cerebrum
Functional
area
Functions
Sensory
centre
receives sensory impulse from various receptors of
sense organs and produce sensation e.g. skin sensation
(pain / pressure…), vision, audition, vestibular
sensation (movement of head), taste and olfaction.
Association
centre
site for other integrative functions e.g. emotion,
language, learning, memory, planning, judgment,
motivation, intelligence, etc.
processes impulses from the sensory cortex, medulla
or cerebellum and relay them to the motor centre in
the cerebral cortex.
Motor centre
It sends motor impulse to the skeletal muscles of
hands or legs to initiate voluntary movement and
other skeletal muscles to maintain balance.
54
Hypothalamus osmoregulation, temperature regulation,
lactation and controlling the activities of
other endocrine glands.
Midbrain –
controls cranial reflexes (腦反射) e.g. pupil
reflex
55
Hindbrain – cerebellum (小腦)
(1) It receives impulses
- from semi-circular canals, utriculus and sacculus
about the position of head.
- from the proprioceptors (stretch receptors) in muscles,
tendons and joints about the
muscular movement
- from motor centre of cerebral cortex.
(2) After processing the information received, the
cerebellum
- coordinate the muscular activities to perform precise
body movements.
- coordinates reflexes in the body to maintain
equilibrium.
56
Hindbrain – medulla oblongata (延腦)
(1) cardiovascular centre - controls cardiovascular
function e.g. heart beat rate
respiratory centre - controls respiratory
function e.g. ventilation rate
vasomotor centre - controls vasomotor function e.g.
blood pressure
(2) It is also the control centre for many involuntary
actions e.g. swallowing, sneezing, coughing,
blinking of eyes.
(3) It helps to maintain the equilibrium state of the
body.
57
Brain damage
What body functions would be affected if
brain damage occurred in:
(i) the occipital lobe
(ii) the cerebellum
(iii) the medulla oblongata?
58
Reflex action
Quick, inborn, automatic, stereotypic
Spinal cord / medulla / midbrain
Significance:
1. Homeostatis
2. prevent body from damage
3. Conduct body function
4. Conditioned reflex
59
Reflex VS voluntary action
Reflex actions
Voluntary
actions
1. Inborn / need not learn
Not inborn / can be learned
2.Usually faster
Usually slower
3.Stereotyped response
Different responses
4.Control centre is in medulla Control centre is in cerebrum
or spinal cord
5.A receptor is involved
A receptor may not
be involved / may
be initiated
spontaneously.
60
Withdraw reflex
Pain receptor in skin  sensory neurone
 interneurone  motor neurone 
biceps contracts, withdraw the hand
61
(ii) this reflex is automatic / not involve the
cerebrum until after the event.
Interneurone to brain can transmit sensory
impulse to the sensory area of cerebrum where the
sensation of pain is produced.
Withdrawal of the stimulated hand occurs before
sensation of pain is experienced. WHY?

(ii) this reflex is automatic / not involve the
cerebrum until after the event.
Interneurone to brain can transmit sensory
impulse to the sensory area of cerebrum where the
sensation of pain is produced.
Withdrawal of the stimulated hand occurs before
sensation of pain is experienced. WHY?
It takes a shorter time for the impulses
transferred to the effector (biceps) than
to the cerebrum. It is the cerebrum that
gives the sensation of pain.

stretch receptor in patellar tendon  sensory
