ADEQUATE STIMULUS
• A SPECIFIC STIMULUS UNIQUE TO A
SENSORY RECEPTOR
• FOR EXAMPLE, PHOTORECEPTORS IN
THE EYE RESPOND ONLY TO
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
TYPES OF ENERGY
TRANSDUCED
RECEPTOR TYPE
ENERGY HANDLED
MECHANORECEPTORS MECHANICAL: PRESSURE OR
TOUCH,PRESSURE,PAIN PHYSICAL DISPLACEMENT
THERMORECEPTORS HEAT OR COLD
CHEMORECEPTORS: CHEMICAL
TASTE AND SMELL
PHOTORECEPTORS VISIBLE LIGHT
NOCIOCEPTORS:
PAIN
TISSUE DAMAGE
GRADED VS ALL OR NONE
• A RECEPTOR’S RESPONSE TO A
STIMULUS IS GRADED
• IF THRESHOLD IS EXCEEDED, THE
ACTION POTENTIAL RESULTING IS
ALL OR NONE

EXAMPLE: THE PACINIAN
CORPUSCLE
• PRESSURE RECEPTOR
• PRESSURE DISTORTS THE CAPSULE,
STRETCHING THE CELL MEMBRANE
• SODIUM CHANNELS OPEN,
DEPOLARIZING THE MEMBRANE
• IF BEYOND THRESHOLD, ACTION

HOW IS THE INTENSITY OF THE
STIMULUS ENCODED?
• FREQUENCY CODING
• POPULATION CODING

LOCALIZATION, DISTRIBUTION,
AND ACUITY
• CODING OF LOCATION DEPENDS ON
RECEPTOR LOCATION
• AREA COVERED BY RECEPTORS IN A
SENSORY UNIT IS A RECEPTIVE
FIELD
• ACUITY DEPENDS ON THE DENSITY
OF RECEPTORS
GENERAL FEATURES OF THE
MOTOR SYSTEM
• HIERARCHICAL ORGANIZATION

SKELETAL MUSCLE
THE MOTOR UNIT
• A SINGLE MOTOR NEURON AND ALL
THE MUSCLES IT INNERVATES
• THE FUNCTIONAL UNIT OF THE
MOTOR SYSTEM
• CORRESPONDS TO THE SENSORY
UNIT/RECEPTIVE FIELD
RELATIONSHIP
• SIZE OF MOTOR UNIT DETERMINES
FINENESS OF MOTOR RESPOSE
THE MOTOR RESPONSE
SYSTEM: SPINAL LEVEL
• THE ORGANIZATION OF MOTOR
NERVES IN THE SPINAL COLUMN
• THE ROLE OF INTERNEURONS
• THE ROLE OF LOCOMOTOR
GENERATORS
THE ORGANIZATION OF MOTOR
NERVES IN THE SPINAL COLUMN
• DORSAL AREA OF VENTRAL HORN:
FLEXOR MOVEMENTS
• VENTRAL AREA OF VENTRAL HORN:
EXTENSOR MOVEMENTS
• DORSOLATERAL AREA OF VENTRAL
HORN: INNERVATE EXTREMITIES
• VENTROMEDIAL REGION: AXIAL
MUSCLES TO MAINTAIN POSTURE
LOCATION OF CELL BODIES FOR
EXTENSORS AND FLEXORS
FLEXORS
EXTENSORS
THE ROLE OF
INTERNEURONS
• LOCATED IN THE INTER MEDIATE ZONE OF
THE SPINAL CORD
• LATERAL SIDE NEURONS SYNAPSE
IPSILATERALLY (TO DISTAL LIMB
MUSCLES)
• MIDLINE NEURONS SYNAPSE BOTH SIDES
(MUSCLES FOR POSTURE) ALPHA MOTOR
NEURONS:EXCITE SYNERGISTIC AND
INHIBIT ANTAGONISTIC
THE ROLE OF LOCOMOTOR
GENERATORS
• RHYTHMIC ACTION OF
ALTERANATING FLEXION AND
EXTENSION INVOVED IN WALKING
MOVEMENTS (CHICKEN WITH ITS
HEAD CUT OFF)
• SPINAL TRANSECTED ANIMALS CAN
WALK ON TREADMILL
• UNDER CONTROL OF LOCOMOTOR
COMMAND CENTER IN THE BRAIN
SENSORY FIBERS IN THE MUSCLE
• THE MUSCLE SPINDLE AS LENGTH
DETECTOR
• GOGLI TENDON ORGANS: TENSION
RECEPTORS
THE MUSCLE SPINDLE AS LENGTH
DETECTOR(SENSORY FIBERS)
• TYPE Ia NERVE FIBERS: TRANSMIT
INFORMATION ABOUT LENGTH AND
VELOCITY TO THE CNS
• TYPE II NERVE FIBERS:TRANSMIT
INFORMATION ABOUT MUSCLE
LENGTH TO CNS
•
TWO TYPES OF INTRAFUSAL

TWO TYPES OF MOTOR
NEURON
• ALPHA MOTOR NEURON:
INNERVATES EXTRAFUSAL FIBER
• GAMMA MOTOR NEURON:
INNERVATES INTRAFUSAL FIBERS
STRETCHING AN INTRAFUSAL

GOGLI TENDON ORGANS:
TENSION RECEPTORS
• IN SERIES WITH EXTRAFUSAL FIBERS
• TRANSMITS INFORMATION ABOUT
FORCE OR TENSION TO CNS
• FREQUENCCY CODING
SPINAL REFLEXES
• THE STRETCH REFLEX
• THE INVERSE MYOTACTIC REFLEX
• THE FLEXOR WITHDRAWAL REFLEX
