Classification of Receptors
• Stimulus modality:
– chemo-, thermo-, mechano-, photo- receptors and nociceptors
• Origin of stimulus
– interoceptors
– proprioceptors
– exteroceptors
• Distribution of Receptors
– general senses
– special senses

Somesthetic Projection Pathways
• 1st order neuron (afferent neuron)
– fast vs. slow
– end in medulla oblongata or spinal cord
• 2nd order neuron
– decussation
– end in thalamus
• 3rd order neuron
– primary somesthetic cortex of cerebrum
Pain
• Nociceptors
• Types:
1. Fast (first) pain
2. Slow (second) pain
• Stimulation of pain fibers
– Bradykinin, serotonin, histamine, prostaglandin, K+ ions
Projection Pathways for Pain
Referred Pain
• Misinterpreted pain
– cardiac pain felt in shoulder or arm because both send pain input
to spinal cord segments T1 to T5
– brain “assumes” visceral pain is coming from skin
Liver and
gallbladder

bladder
Kidney
Analgesic Mechanisms of the CNS
• Endogenous opioids (enkephalins, endorphins and dynorphins)
– neuromodulators: inhibit Ca+ influx into pre-synaptic neuron
or open K+ channels in post-synaptic neuron
Chemical Sense
Taste
Circumvallate Papillae
Contains as many as 100 taste buds
• Gustation
• Lingual papillae:
Pharynx
Taste
buds
Vallate papillae
Fungiform Papillae
Contain about five taste buds each
Filiform Papillae
Provide friction
Taste Bud Structure
•all look alike
• Taste cells (epithelial)
– taste hairs
– taste pore
• Replaced every 7-10 days
-Vallate papillae
Physiology of Taste
•
Molecules must dissolve
in saliva
•
5 primary sensations
1. Sweet
2. Salty
Cranial Nerves
3. Sour
The facial nerve
(VII)
4. Bitter
5. Umami
The glossopharyngeal
nerve (IX)
The vagus nerve (X)
Start
Receptors respond
to stimulation.
Synapse in the thalamus.
Then projected to the
primary sensory cortex.
The axons of the
postsynaptic neurons
cross over
Solitary nucleus of
the medulla oblongata.
Chemical Sense
Smell
• Olfaction
• Olfactory mucosa vs. respiratory mucosa
• Olfactory cells (neurons)
– axons travel thru ethmoid
– olfactory bulb (pair)
– olfactory hairs
– survive 60 days
Olfactory tract
Cribriform
plate of
ethmoid
Olfactory
mucosa
Superior nasal
concha
Physiology of Smell
• 350 kinds of olfactory receptors
• Glomeruli
• Hydrophilic odorants diffuse freely
• Hydrophobic odorants are transported by proteins
Projection Pathway
Step 1: The binding of an
odorant converts ATP to
cyclic-AMP (cAMP).
Step 2: The cAMP opens
sodium channels.
RECEPTOR
CELL
Inactive
enzyme
Step 3: An action potential is
triggered in the axon, and
the information is relayed to
the CNS.

•Adaptation – synaptic inhibition in olfactory bulb
Stretch Receptors
• Baroreceptors
− monitor pressure changes
− free nerve endings found in:
• blood vessels
• tubes of respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts
• Chemoreceptors
− detect small changes in specific chemical or compound
concentration
− reflexive control of cardiopulmonary functions
− found in:
• medulla oblongata
• carotid arteries
• aortic arch
