*three basic sensory systems that most obviously contribute skilled movement. Sensory receptors are located throughout the body: eye skin joints. Muscles all convert various forms of environmental energy (ie. light waves, sound waves, vibration, etc. ) into electrical impulses (transduction) environmental energy is detected and transduced into electrical impulses that the cns uses to make sense of the world. The area of skin that when contacted drives the afferent fibres to be fired* (receptive field size) four types: - Receptive field = location on skin that activates specific afferent: receptive field area is the main difference between type i and ii. Sensory neurons have an axon that bifurcates, one traveling in the cns, the other traveling in the periphery type a: mechanoreceptors form perception roughness/smoothness (textures) type b: large sa (ie. covers entire palm) When you take the sense of touch away you inject anesthesia into fingertips you can"t feel.
