DO NOW
• Get into a group of 3 with the people who have the same Case # as you on their Do Now paper.
• Read the article and summarize it as a group. Choose someone to speak for your group!
OBJECTIVES
• Identify and explain the different types of sensory receptors.• Explain referred and phantom pain.• Compare and contrast acute and chronic pain.

SPECIAL SENSES
PHANTOM PAIN
• The sensation of pain in a limb that has been amputated.• Causes aren’t completely understood• damaged nerve endings, scar tissue at the site of the
amputation and the physical memory of pre-amputation pain in the affected area

DO NOW
• What is phantom pain?• What causes it?• What is mirror therapy?• How else could someone alleviate this pain?
OBJECTIVES
• Identify and explain the different types of sensory receptors.• Explain referred and phantom pain.• Compare and contrast acute and chronic pain.

RECEPTORS & SENSATIONS
Sensation• formed based on the sensory input from receptors• how brain interprets it
• Projection • Brain sends the sensation back to its point of origin• person can pinpoint the area of stimulation
RECEPTIVE FIELDS
• Remember the 2 point discrimination in the lab? • Which part of your body had a larger receptive field?
SENSORY ADAPTATION
• Before reading this sentence, could you feel your clothes on your skin? • The ability to ignore unimportant stimuli is called
sensory adaptation.
RECEPTOR CATEGORIES
• Somatic senses • touch, pressure, pain
Specialized senses
smell, taste, hearing, equilibrium, vision
SOMATIC RECEPTORS
• Chemoreceptors• Thermoreceptors• Photoreceptors• Mechanoreceptors• Pain receptors (Nociceptors)
CHEMORECEPTORS
• respond to changes in chemical concentrations• Ex: Monitor CO2 levels in blood and pH
THERMORECEPTORS
• Respond to changes in temperature
THERMORECEPTOR ACTIVITY
• Place your pointer finger on your right hand in cold water and the same finger on your left hand in warm water. • Leave them in there for 1 minute• Now place them both in the room temperature
water.•
PHOTORECEPTORS
• Responds to light• Rods- respond to light• Cones- respond to colors
PHOTORECEPTOR ACTIVITY
• Hold the ends of a pencil, one in each hand. Hold them horizontally facing each other at arms-length from your body. • 2. With one eye closed, try to touch the end of
the pencils together. • 3. Now try with two eyes.• What did you experience?
MECHANORECEPTORSFree nerve endings• common in epithelial tissues• simplest receptors• sense itchingMeissner’s corpuscles• abundant in hairless portions of
skin; lips• detect fine touch; distinguish
between two points on the skinPacinian corpuscles• common in deeper subcutaneous
tissues, tendons, and ligaments• detect heavy pressure and
vibrations
PAIN RECEPTORS
• “Nociceptors”- • found on free nerve endings • Respond to tissue damage

ACUTE VS. CHRONIC PAIN
• Acute pain fibers: • Relatively thin, myelinated• Rapid impulse conduction, causing sharp pain
• Chronic pain fibers:• Thin, unmyelinated• Conduct impulses slowly, produce a dull aching sensation
REFERRED PAIN
• may occur due to sensory impulses from two regions following a common nerve pathway to brain • Ex:• Someone experiencing
a heart attack may feel pain in their left shoulder
REVIEW
• What receptors detect deep pressure?• What is the difference between acute and chronic
pain?• Where do you have the most receptive fields?
**Monday- bring your books and notes to class! We are going to start reviewing for midterms.
