  1. Sensory Modalities • General Senses: 1. Somatic (Exteroceptors) a. Touch b. Pressure c. Temperature d. Proprioception e. Pain 2. Visceral (Interoceptors) a. Pain b. Pressure

  2. Examples of sensory receptors and their relationship with 1st order neurons

  3. Sensory Modalities • Special Senses a. Smell or Olfaction b. Taste or Gustation c. Sight or Vision d. Sound or Auditory e. Balance or Equilibrium

  4. The Process of Sensations • Stimulation of a sensory receptor • Transduction of the stimulus Conversion of the stimulus into a graded potential • Generation of an impulse Conversion of a graded potential into an action potential at a trigger zone and propagation to CNS 4. Integration of sensory input

  5. Classification of General Sensory Receptors

  6. Summary of Tactile Sensory Receptors

  7. Summary of Sensory Receptors

  8. Somatic Receptors of the Skin

  9. Classification of Special Sensory Receptors

  10. Olfactory epithelium, Olfactory receptors, and Olfactory Nerves

  11. Relationship of Gustatory receptors in Taste Buds to tongue papillae
