This is a common cause of sensory deprivation
What is hallucinations?
Subjective awareness of a stimulus
What is a sensation?
What is a low distribution of receptors?
Which is not a form of stimulus intensity determination: Which fibers are sending signals, How fast these fibers are firing, How long the fibers are.
What is how long the fibers are?
Encapsulated nerve endings are more sensitive and less selective to stimuli, True or False?
Which of these is consciously communicated?
Blood pressure, smooth muscle tension, lateral eye movement
What is lateral eye movement?
Prevents information overload by filtering out common stimuli in the brainstem
What is habituation?
The term for the type of stimulus something produces
A strong stimuli only activates less sensitive neurons, True or False.
What is first-order neuron, where touch receptors are myelinated and heat/cold receptors are unmyelinated?
Nerves that are specialized to detect a stimulus.
What is a sensory receptor?
Give an example of a stimulus that does not require conscious awareness
What is pH or body temperature? (will accept others)
What is a phasic receptor?
Term for how fast neuronal fibers are firing

What is Nociceptors?
The conversion of one type of energy to another type of energy is known as.
What is transduction?
What is the receptive field?
Adaptation of a stimulus occurs at the brainstem or receptor?
What is receptor?
What are proprioceptors?
Amputees or heart attack victims may suffer from this kind of pain
What a receptor cell stimulus creates when transduced
What is a receptor potential?
Receptive field that is larger, comparing fingertips and lumbar back.
The type of receptor that adapts to a stimulus slowly
What is a tonic receptor?
Type of nerve ending wrapped by glial cells/connective tissue
