2. information(internal and external world) awareness sensory system: process afferent sensory information Different energy forms of information: Pressure Temperature Light Odorant Sound wave Chemical

3.  Skin Muscle viscera  Visual Auditory Vestibular Chemical special sensory system

4. Section A Sensory Functions of Nervous System Section B Special Sensory System Vision Hearing Sensory Physiology Some General Principles

5. Sensory System: Section A Sensory Functions of Nervous System  sensory receptor ： structure that receive stimulus from the external or internal environment  neural pathway (conduct information : receptors brain or spinal cord)  some part of the brain (deal primarily with processing the information) General Principles

6. sensory information awareness: no awareness: hot blood pressure fluctuate

7. sound waves sound waves receptor potentials action potentials electrical impulse CNS hearing sound waves Hearing Sensory system Telephone equipment Receiver (physics)(physiology) code Sensory Processing steps:

8.  General classes of receptors (by the sensitive type of energy) Mechanoreceptor Thermoreceptor eletromagnetic receptor Chemoreceptor Nociceptor ( 伤害性 ~) Sensory receptors

9.  Each of the sensory receptors responds much more readily to one form of energy than to others. Adequate stimulus : the type of energy to which a particular receptor responds sensitively in normal function. light energy sound energy light receptor light sound energy light receptor light a poke in eye a poke in eye 1.Adequate stimulus of receptors

10. Sensory receptor （ energy forms ---electrical language ） 1.separate cell 2.specialized ending of afferent neuron 感受器电位 发生器电位 Receptor potential generator potential 2.Transduction of receptors

12. （ energy forms ---electrical language ） 基本信息：刺激的模式、强度、部位、时间 刺激的强度 感受器 单一神经纤维上冲动频率 传输的神经纤维数目 3.Coding action of receptors

13. Adaptation 4. Adaptation of receptors

14. Rapidly adapting receptors : clothes pressing on one’s skin clothes pressing on one’s skin Slowly adapting receptors : joint and muscle receptors ： joint and muscle receptors ： standing for long time standing for long time

15. Visual Function of Eye Adequate stimulus: electromagnetic wave of 370-740 nm

16. 外层：角膜、巩膜 中层：脉络膜、睫状体、虹膜 内层：视网膜

17. Optical system ： Cornea Aqueous humor Crystalline lens Vitreous humor (body ) Optics characteristics of dioptric system of eye

18. scatter concave lens

19. focus convex lens

21. Reduced eye ab/AB=bn/Bn ab=AB*bn/Bn Simplified schematically

22. The parallel rays focus on the retina (6 m away) The scattering rays focus behind the retina (within 6 m)

23. 1. lens change to convex ： near object→blurred image →Via the optic nerve to the visual cortex →midbrain →Parasympathetic fibers →contraction of the ciliary muscle →loose of the zonular fibers →increases curvature of the lens →the image moves forward to the retina → clear vision Accommodation of eye

24. meters 6 meters

25. Near point ： means the minimum distance that the eye can see the object clearly. depends on ： flexibility of the lens Age The flexibility decreases, the accommodation decreases too, the near point moves away from cornea. (presbyopia)

26. 2.pupillary constriction ： function: control the light --- eye reduces spherical and chromatic aberrations Parasympathetic fiber in the oculomotor nerve→Contraction of the sphincter of iris

27. 3.convergence of the eyeball (eye axle) Function: ensures the rays from the object to fall on the corresponding part of each retina (diplopia, double vision) Oculomotor nerve→Contraction of the two medial rectus muscles

28. Pupillary light reflex Means that the size of pupil changes with the intensity of rays. Rays → retina → tectum of midbrain → E-W’s nucleus → Parasympathetic fiber in the oculomotor nerve → Contraction of the sphincter of pupil （ both side ） Significance ： regulates the ray amount entering eye ， protects the retina diagnose 1.5 ~ 8.0 mm

29. concave lens myopia hyperopia Astigmatism convex lens normal cylindrical lens abnormal accommodation near object far object

30. 眼的折光能力和调节能力异常 1. 近视： 原因：眼球前后径过长或眼折光过度，使远处 物体发来的平行光线聚焦于视网膜之前 而致物象模糊，近点移近。 矫正 : 凹透镜 2. 远视： 原因：眼球前后径过短，少数因眼折光能力不 足，使远处物体发来的平行光线聚焦于 视网膜之后而致视物模糊，近点移远。 矫正 : 凸透镜

31. 3. 散光： 原因：折光表面不呈正球面，如角膜，远物发 来的平行光线有的聚焦于视网膜的前方， 有的聚焦于视网膜的后方，引起视物模糊 或变形。 矫正：适当的柱面镜

32. Structure of retina and two photosensory transduction system Retinal layers ： ① pigment epithelial layer (melanin granule and vitA) protection and nutrition ( to Photoreceptor cell) Retina

33. Outer segment: (visual pigment) rod: thin,rod-like cone: conical Inner segment: Cell body: Synaptic terminals: ② Photoreceptor cell layer 视锥视杆

34. rod cone

35. 光 - 电转换的关键部位：外段 静息电位：约为 -30mV ～ -40mV 机制：无光照时视杆细胞的外段膜对 Na + 有 较大的通透性，使 Na + 有一定程度的 内流所致 视杆细胞外段的超微结构和感受器电位

36. 感受器电位：超极化型慢电位 机制：光量子被视紫红质吸收 → 视蛋白变构 → 传递蛋白激活 → 磷酸二脂酶激活 → cGMP 大量分解 → 外段膜 Na + 通道开放减少 -→ 超级化型感受器电位 - 电紧张形式 → 视终足，影响终足处的递质释放。 Na + - - - -

39. Mechanism of photosensory transduction in Rods No Vit A : nyctalopia(night blindness) scotopsin rhodopsin 11-cis- retinene Vit A 11-trans- retinene dark light rhodopsin

40. Mechanism of photosensory transduction in Rods No Vit A : nyctalopia(night blindness) 3 proteins rhodopsin 11-cis- retinene Vit A 11-trans- retinene dark light iodopsin

42. 视网膜的视觉信息处理 （ Information disposal of retina ） 光照 → 感光细胞产生感受器电位 → 电紧张性扩布 → 突触前膜释放递质 → 双极细胞发生慢电位变化 → 神经节细胞产生动作电位 → 视神经 → 视觉中枢 → 产生视觉。

43. Dark adaptation the process that when a person goes into a dark room ， he can see something after sometime. Rhodopsin synthesis increases

44. Light adaptation the process that when a person goes into a light place ， he can see something clearly after a few seconds. (Rhodopsin decomposes, cone system is working)

45. Tricolor theory of color vision iodopsin: red-sensitive cones green-sensitive cones blue-sensitive cones combination of blue, green and red cones trichromat dichromat monochromat ( 全色盲 )

46. Visual acuity ： means the maximal ability that eyes distinguish the minimum distance of two points. Photo receptor cell

47. Visual field the entire field of vision of an individual eye which only looks on one point. nasal halves temporal
