first
GENERAL SENSATION
Describe the difference between free and an encapsulated
nerve
General sense organs consist of free nerve endings or encapsulated nerve
endings
Free nerve endings are found in the skin and mucous
Used for pain, crude tough, temperature, and itch
Encapsulated nerve endings are:
Meissner's corpuscles: found in the skin, used for fine touch
Ruffini’s corpuscles: found in the skin and fingers: used for touch and pressure
Pacinian corpuscles: found in the skin, around joints, and in mammary glands:
used for pressure and high- frequency vibration
Describe what a Proprioceptor is
A proprioceptor is a specialized receptor found near the point of junction between
tendons and muscles and others are found deep within the skeletal muscles
They let you know where your limbs are in space
FINISH THE CHART
Nerve Ending
What senses are used
Location
Meisners corpuscles
fine touch and low frequency
Fingertips and lips
Ruffini’s Corpuscle
Touch and pressure
skin and subcutaneous tissue layers
pacinian corpuscle
pressure and high frequency vibration
Subcutaneous, submucous and
subserous tissues. Also found around
joints and in glands.
Part two
THE EYE
LABEL THE CHART
In The above diagram identify the location of the rods and the cones.
Rods and cones are sensory nerves located on the retina
What is the difference between the rods and the cones?
Rods: are used for black and white
Cones: are used for color
IDENTIFY THE FUNCTION OF THE
FOLLOWING STRUCTURES
Cornea:
The thin outer portion o f the anterior eye
Pupil:
The opening in the doughnut shaped muscle of the eye
Ciliary Muscle:
Contract to control the size of the pupil
Retina
The lining of the posterior part of the eye
Contains sensory neurons; that process vision
Iris:
Color portion of the eye
Optic Nerve:
Where sensory neurons gather in the back of the eye to carry signal to the brain
Lacrimal gland
Gland on superior lateral portion of the eye that secretes tears
Part three
TASTE AND SMELL
TASTE
Papillae are located on the
tongue and are used for taste
and breakdown of food.
Filiform papilla -have NO taste
buds and are have bristles to break
down food. These are the most
common.
Fungiform Papillae-Have SOME
taste buds and are found on the
margins of the tongue.
Circumvallate Papillae-are the
largest taste bud but are the least
common on the tongue
What are the four primary taste sensations?
Sweet, sour, bitter, salty
What are the two key nerves for taste?
Cranial nerve 7 (Facial Nerve)
Cranial nerve 9 (Glossopharyngeal Nerve)
SMELL
What are olfactory receptors?
Olfactory receptors are neurons that allow us to recognize a small
They are extremely sensitive but easily adaptive
Where are these receptors located?
Receptors are located in the olfactory mucosa of nasal cavity
Olfactory nerve impulses are associated with what part of the brain?
The olfactory nerve sends impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain
Part four
THE EAR
Label The specified parts of the ear
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE
FOLLOWING PARTS OF THE EAT
Auditory/Eustachian Tube:
Connects the throat to the middle ear
Tympanic Membrane:
Converts sound waves to mechanical vibrations
The Vestibular Nerve:
Nerves from semicircular canals; tells you where you are in space
The Organ of Corti:
Organ for hearing, lies in snail-shaped cochlea
Sends signals from ear to brain
Part five

middle ear.
In order to see things up close ciliary bodies of the eye must ______ and
the lens must______.
The middle ear has three bones they are the ______, ______ and
_______
Vibration sense is due to nerve endings called _____________
The eye has two humors the ______humor in front of the lens and the
_______humor behind the lens.
