1.Name 3 different types of sensory receptors.(544) The special sensory receptors are distinct receptor cells and mostly are modified nerve endings of sensory neurons, they are located within the complex sensory organs like the eyes and ears or in the epithelial structure of taste buds. The 3 types are exteroceptors, interoceptors and proprioceptors.
EXTEROCEPTORS: RECEIVE FROM OUTSIDE THE BODY.
INTEROCEPTORS: RECEIVE FROM INSIDE THE BODY
PROPRIOCEPOTORS: UNCONSCIOUS INFORMATION

2.What are general senses versus special senses? Special senses are the sensations such as taste, smell, hearing, sight only in special sense organic in the head region. General senses are touch pain, pressure, temperature and tension on the skin.

3.Name the 4 types of stimulus that excites receptors for general senses. Give examples for locations you would find these receptors.
Visual:Cerebral cortex
Olfactory: Temporal lobe.
Auditory: Temporal lobe
Gustatory: Gyrus

4.Name the locations you would find the special sensory receptors.
Visual is in the rods and cones of the retina. Olfactory is the hair cells located in the mucous …show more content…

The four rectus muscles originate from common tendinous ring which is at the back of the orbit and the location and movement is is that they promote clearly indicated by their names which is superior, inferior and lateral, and medial rectus muscles. The actions of the two oblique muscles is that they are less easy to deduce because they take weird paths to the orbit. They move the eye in a vertical plane when the eyeball is already turned medially by the rectus muscles. Superior oblique muscles originates in common with the rectus muscles that goes along the medial wall of the orbit and then makes a right angle to fibrocartilage loop called trochlea. The inferior oblique muscle originates from medial orbit surface and runs laterally and oblique to insert on the inferolateral surface of the
