FUNCTIONS OF THE SOMATIC
SENSORY SYSTEM
TACTILE RECEPTORS
THERMAL RECEPTORS
NOCIOCEPTORS
PROPRIOCEPTORS
TACTILE RECEPTORS
SENSE MECHANICAL STIMULATION ON
BODY’S SURFACE
TOUCH, PRESSURE, AND VIBRATION
RAPIDLY ADAPTING (PACINIAN
CORPUSCLE, HAIR RECEPTOR) OR
SLOWLY ADAPTING (RUFFINI ENDING)

THERMAL RECEPTORS
SENSE CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ON
THE BODY’S SURFACE
COLD RECEPTORS: BELOW 30° C
WARM RECEPTORS: ABOVE 30° C
NOCIOCEPTORS
PAIN RECEPTORS ACTIVATED BY
HARMFUL STIMULI
MECHANICAL
HEAT
PROPRIOCEPTORS
REPORT POSITION AND MOVEMENTS
STATIONARY OR STATIC (TONIC-JOINT
CAPSULE AND CUTANEOUS
MECHANORECEPTORS, MUSCLE SPINDLE

FURTHER ANATOMICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
CELL BODIES OF SOMATIC SENSORY
NERVES ARE IN THE DORSAL ROOT
GANGLION
TWO MAJOR PATHWAYS: DORSAL
COLUMN AND ANTEROLATERAL
ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
TERMINOLOGY
ROSTRAL-CAUDAL: NOSE TO TAIL
DORSO-VENTRAL: BACK TO BELLY
MEDIAL: TOWARDS THE MIDLINE
LATERAL: TOWARDS THE SIDE
ANTERIOR: TOWARDS THE FRONT
POSTERIOR: TOWARDS THE BACK
