1
Senses General - located throughout body Special – localized to specific organs
2
Sensory / Afferent Receptors Chemoreceptors – detect chemicals dissolved in solution Mechanoreceptors – respond to change in pressure of movement of fluids/tissue Nocioceptors – respond to tissue damage Thermoreceptors – respond to changes in temperature Photoreceptors – respond to light energy
3
General Senses somatic senses Associated with skin, muscles, joints and visceral organs Touch -- Pressure [ mechanoreceptors] Proprioception [ mechanoreceptors] Temperature [ mechanoreceptors] Pain [ mechanoreceptors]
4
Special Senses Taste = Gustatory [ chemoreceptor] CN VII [facial] & IX [ glossopharyngeal] Smell = Olfaction [ chemoreceptor] CN I [olfactory] Hearing/ Equilibrium [ mechanoreceptor] CN VIII [ acoustic / vestibulocochlear] Sight [ photoreceptor] CN II [optic]
