Document Summary

Availability to distinguish variable intensity of signals. Ability to distinguish different types of stimuli. Anatomic structures specalziedot receive [articular type of stimulus. Coordinated between sense organ and neural network/brain region responsible for interpreting that sense. Vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, balance, temp. Electrical ro chem energy required for excitation. Pressure, touch, pain, sight, smell, taste, hearing. Stimuli within skeletal system - provide balance and. Sensation integration depends on which receptors are activated, not how they are activated. Can track and map sensation pathways through principle. Pain and temp receptors - free nerve ending embedded in skin/joints. Free nerve endings associated with merkel cells in. Decrease in signal over times with continued stimulation. Over time sending an action potential, signal gets sent less often. Continue for as long as stimuli is present. Heres when the stimulus started and when it stopped.
