Sensory Division Sensory receptors convert stimuli into action potentials. There are 3 types of sensory receptors in the nervous system: interoceptors, proprioceptors and exteroceptors Have threshold values for impulse intensity. When sensory receptors are depolarized, they depolarize sensory neurons that go to the CNS.
4
Interoceptors Interoceptors Receive internal signals Respond to
blood pressure, blood CO2 concentration, and body temperature.
5
Proprioceptors Proprioceptors
Transmit information about the spatial orientation of the body. (본체의공간 방향 에 대한 정보 를 전송한다.) The semicircular canals of the ear are proprioceptors.
6
Exteroceptors Exteroceptors
React to external environment stimuli, such as pressure, light, or heat. Each receptor is specific for one type of stimulus. Example: the eye responds to light, but not to heat or sound. There are exteroceptors in the skin for each type of stimulus: heat, cold, pain, light, touch, and strong pressure.
