Chapter 12, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The various somatic and visceral sensory and motor inputs as well as outputs.
Introduction:
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) has two branches called somatic and visceral nervous system. The body regions that are regulated by the somatic branch are located outside the ventral body cavity, whereas the visceral branch controls the body structures located in the viscera that is present inside the ventral body cavity.

Students have asked these similar questions
Receptor cells that are neurons with sensory dendrites are faster than receptor cells that are separate from neurons. Why is that, and why might that be important in, for example, the sense of touch versus vision?
In general, could we name the sensory receptors “middle men” between the stimulus and the peripheral nervous system? Please shortly explain your answer.
Describe what information the somatic sensations provide.

- You touch a hot stove and withdraw your hand before you perceive the pain. Identify the neural pathway involved in this response. a. stimulus --> motor neuron --> interneuron --> brain --> sensory neuron b. stimulas --> sensory neuron --> interneuron --> brain --> motor neuron c. effector --> sensory neuron --> interneuron --> brain --> motor neuron --> stimulus d. effector --> motor neuron --> interneuron --> sensory neuron --> stimulas e. stimulas --> sensory neuron --> interneuron --> motor neuronarrow_forwardSelect the statement that explains the neural mechanism underlying the sensation of fast, sharp pain followed by delayed, longer-lasting pain after an injury. a. Fast pain is conducted by mechanoreceptors, whereas delayed pain is conducted by fibers with free nerve endings. b. Fast pain is conducted by free nerve endings in the dermis, whereas delayed pain is conducted by deep nerve endings in the subcutaneous layer. c. The receptive fields differ for the two types of pain sensation such that fast pain fibers have smaller receptive fields than the delayed pain fibers. d. Fast and delayed pain represent the progression of the injury; both are conducted by the same fibers. e. Fast, sharp pain is conducted by myelinated axons, whereas delayed, longer-lasting pain is carried by unmyelinated axons.arrow_forwardApplying a pressure stimulus to the fluid-filled capsule of an isolated Pacinian corpuscle causes a brief burst of action potentials in the afferent neuron, which ceases until the pressure is removed, at which time another brief burst of action potentials occurs. If an experimenter removes the capsule and applies pressure directly to the afferent neuron ending, action potentials are continuously fired during the stimulus. Explain these results in the context ofadaptation.arrow_forward
