Slide 3
Receptors and Sensation• Receptor– A receptor is a specialized area of a sensory
neuron that detects a specific stimulus.– The five types of receptors are chemoreceptors,
pain receptors (nociceptors), thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, and photoreceptors.
![Page 4: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Slide 4
Receptors and Sensation - cont’d
• Sensation– A sensation is a conscious awareness of incoming
sensory information.– There are four components of a sensation. – The two characteristics of sensation are projection
and adaptation.
![Page 5: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Slide 5
General Senses• Pain– Pain receptors (nociceptors) are free nerve
endings.– The stimuli for pain are tissue damage, lack of
oxygen, and stretching or distortion of tissue.

Autonomic or Visceral Reflexes• What They Do: Autonomic reflexes regulate
organ function• Pathway: The sequence is receptor activation,
sensory input ( CNS), motor neuron response, and effector response
![Page 17: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Slide 17
Organization and Function of the Autonomic Nervous System
• Divisions of the ANS: There are two divisions.– Sympathetic nervous system, called “Fight or Flight.”– Parasympathetic Nervous System, called “Feed and Breed.”
• Autonomic Terminology and Autonomic Pharmacology– Drugs that affect the sympathetic nervous system are called
sympathomimetic and sympatholytic.– Drugs that affect the parasympathetic nervous system are
called parasympathomimetic and parasympatholytic.
![Page 18: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Organization and Function of the Autonomic Nervous System - cont’d
• Autonomic Tone and Vasomotor Tone– Background firing of the ANS causes autonomic
tone.– Background sympathetic stimulation of the blood
vessels causes vasomotor tone.
![Page 19: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Slide 19
ANS: Neurons• Numbers and Ganglia– Preganglionic fibers are fibers that extend from
the CNS to the ganglia.– Postganglionic fibers are fibers that extend from
the ganglia to the effector organ.
![Page 20: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Slide 20
ANS: Neurons - cont’d
• Neurons of the Sympathetic Nervous System– The SNS is called the thoracolumbar outflow.– The sympathetic ganglia are located in a chain
close to the spinal cord; the chain is called paravertebral ganglia.
– The adrenal medulla secretes hormones that mimic the SNS.
![Page 21: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Slide 21
ANS: Neurons - cont’d
• Neurons of the Parasympathetic Nervous System– The parasympathetic nervous system is called the
craniosacral outflow.– Parasympathetic fibers travel with cranial nerves;
most parasympathetics run with the vagus nerve CN X.
• Naming Fibers and Neurotransmitters– Cholinergic fibers secrete acetylcholine (ACh).– Adrenergic fibers secrete norepinephrine (NE).
![Page 22: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Slide 22
ANS: Neurons - cont’d
• Neurotransmitters: Termination of Activity– ACh is degraded immediately by
acetylcholinesterase.– NE activity is ended primarily by reuptake of the
NE into the nerve terminal and by MAO activity within the nerve terminal.
![Page 23: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Slide 25
Introduction• The brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous
system act as a vast communication system. The spinal cord transmits information to and from the brain. The peripheral nervous system brings information to the CNS (its sensory role) and delivers information from the CNS to the periphery (its motor role).
![Page 26: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Slide 26
What the Spinal Cord Is• The spinal cord is a tubelike structure located
in the spinal cavity, extending from the foramen magnum (occipital bone) to L1
• Arrangement of Nervous Tissue– The gray matter is a centrally located, butterfly-
shaped area.– The white matter is composed of myelinated
fibers arranged in tracts. Ascending tracts are sensory tracts. Descending tracts are motor tracts.
![Page 27: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Slide 27
What the Spinal Cord Is - cont’d
• Arrangement of Nervous Tissue—cont’d– Spinal nerves are attached to the spinal cord. All
spinal nerves are mixed (they contain sensory and motor fibers).
– Sensory nerve fibers travel to the cord through the dorsal root. Motor nerve fibers travel in the ventral root.
![Page 28: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Slide 28
What the Spinal Cord Does: Functions • The spinal cord relays both sensory and motor
information. • The spinal cord acts as a major reflex center.
![Page 29: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Slide 29
Reflexes• A reflex is an involuntary response to a
stimulus.• The four components to a reflex are a sensory
receptor; an afferent (sensory) neuron; an efferent (motor) neuron; and an effector organ.
![Page 30: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Slide 30
Peripheral Nervous System• Nerve– A nerve is a group of neurons, blood vessels,
and connective tissue.– There are sensory nerves, motor nerves, and
mixed nerves.
![Page 31: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Slide 31
Peripheral Nervous System - cont’d
• Structural Classification of Nerves– A classification of nerves on the basis of structure divides
nerves into cranial nerves and spinal nerves. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves (Table 11-3) and 31 pairs of spinal nerves (Table 11-5).
– Spinal nerves are sorted out at nerve plexuses. The three major plexuses are the cervical plexus, the brachial plexus, and the lumbosacral plexus.
– A dermatome is the area of skin innervated by each spinal nerve.
![Page 32: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Slide 32
Peripheral Nervous System - cont’d
• Functional Classification of Nerves– Somatic afferent nerves carry sensory information
to the CNS.– Somatic efferent nerves carry motor information
to skeletal muscles.– Autonomic nerves carry motor information to the
organs (viscera).
![Page 33: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Slide 33
Introduction• The purpose of the nervous system is to bring
information to the central nervous system, interpret the information, and enable the body to respond to the information.
![Page 34: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Slide 34
The Nervous System: Overview• Divisions of the Nervous System– The central nervous system (CNS) includes the
brain and the spinal cord.– The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves
that connect the CNS with the rest of the body.
![Page 35: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Slide 35
The Nervous System: Overview - cont’d
• Cells That Make Up the Nervous System– Neuroglia (glia) support, protect, and nourish the
neurons.– Neurons conduct the nerve impulse. – The three parts of a neuron are the dendrites,
cell body, and axon.
![Page 36: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Slide 36
The Nervous System: Overview - cont’d
• Types of Neurons– Sensory, or afferent, neurons carry information
toward the CNS.– Interneurons are located in the CNS
(make connections).– Motor, or efferent, neurons carry information
away from the CNS toward the periphery.
![Page 37: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Slide 37
The Nervous System: Overview - cont’d
• White Matter and Gray Matter– White matter is due to myelinated fibers.– Gray matter is composed primarily of cell bodies,
interneurons, and unmyelinated fibers.– Clusters of cell bodies (gray matter) are called
nuclei and ganglia.
![Page 38: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Slide 38
The Neuron Carrying Information• Nerve Impulse– The electrical signal is called the action potential or
nerve impulse.– The nerve impulse is due to the following changes in
the neuron: polarization, depolarization, and repolarization.
– The nerve impulse is due to flow of ions: polarization (outward flux of K+), depolarization (influx of Na+), and repolarization (outward flux of K+).
![Page 39: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Slide 39
The Neuron Carrying Information - cont’d
• Nerve Impulse—cont’d– The refractory period is the unresponsive period
of the neuron.– The nerve impulse jumps from node to node as it
travels along a myelinated fiber. Myelination increases the speed of the nerve impulse.
– The nerve impulse causes the release of a neurotransmitter.
![Page 40: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Slide 40
The Neuron Carrying Information - cont’d
• Synapse– The synapse is a space between two neurons.– The nerve impulse of the first (presynaptic)
neuron causes the release of neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to the receptors on the second (postsynaptic) membrane. The activation of the receptors stimulates a nerve impulse in the second neuron.
![Page 41: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Slide 41
Brain: Structure and Function• Cerebrum– The right and left hemispheres are joined by the
corpus callosum.– The four main cerebral lobes are the frontal,
parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes. Functions of each lobe are summarized in Table 10-2.
– Large areas of the cerebrum, called association areas, are concerned with interpreting, integrating, and analyzing information.
![Page 42: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Slide 42
Brain: Structure and Function - cont’d
• Diencephalon– The thalamus is a relay station for most sensory
tracts traveling to the cerebrum.– The hypothalamus controls many body functions
such as water balance, temperature, and the secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland; it exerts an effect on the autonomic nervous system.
![Page 43: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Slide 43
Brain: Structure and Function - cont’d
• Brain Stem– Brain stem: midbrain, pons, and medulla
oblongata.– The medulla oblongata is called the vital center
because it controls the heart rate, blood pressure, and respirations (the vital functions).
– The vomiting center is located in the medulla oblongata; it receives input directly and indirectly from activation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ).
![Page 44: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Slide 45
Brain: Structure and Function - cont’d
• Structures Involving More than One Lobe– The limbic system is sometimes called the
emotional brain.– The reticular formation is concerned with the
sleep/wake cycle. It keeps us conscious and prevents us from slipping into a coma state.
– The “memory areas” handle short-term and long-term memory.
![Page 46: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Slide 47
Introduction• The purpose of muscle is to contract and to
cause movement.
![Page 48: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Slide 48
Muscle Function: Overview• Types and Functions of Muscles– Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary; its
primary function is to produce movement.– Smooth (visceral) muscle is nonstriated and
involuntary; it helps the organs perform their functions.
– Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary; it is found only in the heart and allows the heart to function as a pump.
![Page 49: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Slide 49
Muscle Function: Overview - cont’d
• Structure of the Whole Muscle– A large muscle consists of thousands of single
muscle fibers (muscle cells).– Connective tissue binds the muscle fibers (cells)
together (forming compartments in the limbs) and attaches muscle to bone and other tissue (by tendons and aponeuroses).
![Page 50: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Slide 50
Muscle Function: Overview - cont’d
• Structure and Function of a Single Muscle Fiber– The muscle fiber (cell) is surrounded by a cell
membrane (sarcolemma). The cell membrane penetrates to the interior of the muscle as the transverse tubule (T tubule).
– An extensive sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) stores calcium.
– Each muscle fiber consists of a series of sarcomeres. Each sarcomere contains the contractile proteins actin and myosin.
![Page 51: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Slide 51
Muscle Function: Overview - cont’d
• How Muscles Contract– Muscles shorten or contract as the actin and myosin
(in the presence of calcium and ATP) interact through crossbridge formation, according to the sliding filament theory.
– For skeletal muscle to contract, it must be stimulated by a motor nerve. The nerve impulse releases acetycholine (ACh) from the nerve terminal. ACh diffuses across the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), binds to the muscle membrane and causes an electrical signal to form in the muscle membrane.
![Page 52: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Slide 52
Muscle Function: Overview - cont’d
• How Muscles Contract—cont’d– The electrical signal enters the T-tubular system
and stimulates the SR to release calcium.– Actin, myosin, and ATP interact to form
crossbridges, which cause sliding or shortening.– Calcium is pumped back into the SR and the
muscles relax.
![Page 53: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Slide 53
Muscle Function: Overview - cont’d
• Responses of a Whole Muscle– A single muscle fiber contracts in an all-or-nothing response; a whole
muscle can contract partially (i.e., not all-or-nothing).
– A whole muscle increases its force of contraction by recruitment of additional muscle fibers.
– Two terms describe the contractile activity of a whole muscle: twitch and tetanus. Tetanus refers to a sustained muscle contraction.
– Energy for muscle contraction can be obtained from three sources: burning fuel aerobically, burning fuel anaerobically, and metabolizing creatine phosphate.

![Page 57: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Slide 57
Bones: An Overview• Sizes and Shapes
– Bones are classified as long, short, flat, and irregular.– Bone markings function as sites of muscle attachments and passages
for nerves and blood vessels.– A long bone has a diaphysis (shaft) and two epiphyses (ends). Articular
cartilage is found on the outer surface of the epiphyses. – The diaphysis is composed of compact or hard bone. The epiphysis
consists of spongy or soft bone; red marrow is found in the holes of spongy bone.
![Page 58: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Slide 58
Bones: An Overview - cont’d
• Bone Formation and Growth– Bones ossify in two ways. In the skull, osteoblasts replace
thin connective tissue membrane, forming flat bones. Other bones form on hyaline cartilage models as osteoblasts replace cartilage with bone.
– Bones grow longitudinally at the epiphyseal disc, to determine height; bones also grow thicker and wider to support the weight of the body.
– Bone growth and reshaping occur throughout life and depend on many factors, including diet, exercise, and hormones.

Structures: Organs of the Integumentary System - cont’d
• Skin– The skin is called the cutaneous membrane.– The skin has two layers, an outer layer called the
epidermis and an inner layer called the dermis.– The epidermis has five layers. The stratum
germinativum is the layer in which cell division takes place. The new cells produce keratin (waterproofing) and die as they are pushed toward the surface. The outer layer is the stratum corneum and consists of flattened, dead, keratinized cells.
![Page 69: Chapter 13 Sensory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816452550346895dd61d8e/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

Membranes• Epithelial Membranes
– The cutaneous membrane is the skin.– Mucous membranes are epithelial membranes that line all body
cavities that open to the exterior of the body.– Serous membranes are epithelial membranes that line the ventral
body cavities, which are not open to the exterior of the body.– Serous membranes form two layers: a parietal layer that lines the
wall of the cavity and a visceral layer that covers the outside of an organ.
– The three serous membranes are the pleura, the pericardium, and the peritoneum.
