THE SENSES

The process initiated by stimulating sensory receptors

• sensory transduction

• Macula

• Bony Labyrinth

• Scala vestibuli

Respond to stimuli that result in sensation of pain

It plays an important role in detecting continuous pressure in the skin

Characterized by a group of unpleasant perceptual and emotional experience

Sensory structure that detect taste stimuli:

Only major sensation that is relayed directly to the cerebral cortex without passing first the thalamus:

Treatment where chemical anesthetics that affect the reticular formation are administered:

it provides information about various internal organs

Treatment where chemical anesthetics are injected near the sensory receptor:

Clinically useful in diagnosing the actual cause of the painful stimulus
