SENSORY RECEPTORS
(Receptors)


Distal Ends of
Dendrites of Afferent
Neurons
Located in Sense
Organs
SENSORY RECEPTORS
GENERAL FUNCTION
Receive Stimulus(Detect Change)
 Convert Stimulus to NI (NI Begins at
Receptors)
 The Nervous Impulse (NI) Is Carried Along
Afferent Neuron into CNS; Once in CNS the
Result May be



1) Sensation and/or
2) Reflex
SENSORY RECEPTORS
CHARACTERISTICS

1. SPECIALIZED


Each Receptor Responds Best to a Particular
Stimulus
2. EXHIBIT ADAPTATION


In Response to a Continuous Stimulus, Receptors
Becomes Less Sensitive ---> Conduct Fewer
NI ---> Perception of Sensation Decreases
Adaptation Time Varies with Receptor

EYE FUNCTION:
THE MECHANISM OF VISION

FORMATION OF
RETINAL IMAGE



First an Image must be
Formed on the Retina
This Requires that Light
Rays be Focused on the
Retina
The Mechanism is
Different for Viewing Far
Objects as Opposed to
Viewing Near Objects
WHEN VIEWING FAR
OBJECTS: REFRACTION


Far Objects: Objects
20 Feet or Further
Formation of a
Retinal Image when
Viewing Far Objects
Requires Refraction
(Bending of Light
Rays)
WHEN VIEWING NEAR OBJECTS:
INCREASED REFRACTION REQUIRED

ACCOMMODATION


Near Objects: Objects
Closer than 20 Feet
Formation of a Retinal
Image when Viewing
Near Objects Requires
Increased Refraction
Which Requires
Accommodation
WHEN VIEWING NEAR OBJECTS:
INCREASED REFRACTION REQUIRED

ACCOMMODATION


Focusing near objects
Accommodation:
Changes that Allow for
Near Vision (3)



BULGING OF LENS
CONSTRICTION OF
PUPIL (NEAR REFLEX)
CONVERGENCE OF
EYES
Accommodation:
BULGING OF LENS


Ciliary Muscles
Contract, Lens
Bulges Forward
(Causes More Acute
Refraction)
Note:


Lense bulges
When object is
closer
Accommodation:
CONSTRICTION OF PUPIL



NEAR REFLEX
Iris Contracts, Pupil
Constricts (Limits the
Amount of Light that
Enters the Eye Since
More Acute Refraction
Must Occur)
Pupil Constriction when
Viewing Near Objects is
Known as the Near
Reflex
FAR OBJECT
NEAR OBJECT
Accommodation:
CONVERGENCE OF EYES

Movement of the 2
Eyeballs Inward
(Causes Light Rays
to Focus on Correct
Regions of the
Retina)
*Note: Reason for Accomodation



Light Rays Enter the
Eye More Divergent
when Viewing Near
Objects
as Opposed to
Parallel when Viewing
Far Objects
Means Light Rays
Must be More Acutely
Bent in Order to get
them Focused on the
Retina
STIMULATION OF RECEPTORS



RECEPTORS FOR
CRANIAL NERVE II
Once Light Rays are
Focused on the Retina
and the Image is
Formed
This Causes the Vision
Receptors
(Photoreceptors) to
Become Stimulated
and the NI Begins
STIMULATION OF RECEPTORS:
PHOTOPIGMENTS



Rods and Cones
Contain Photopigments
(Pigments that
Breakdown in Light)
The Photopigments in
Rods are Sensitive to
Dim Light
The Photopigments in
Cones are Sensitive to
Bright Light and Colors
(Red, Green, Blue)
Rhodopsin & Change in
Membrane Potential
CONDUCTION OF NERVE IMPULSES
TO VISUAL CORTEX (CEREBRAL CORTEX)



Nerve Impulses are
Conducted Along
Cranial Nerve II
to the Visual Cortex
of the Cerebral
Cortex for
Interpretation
