Title
• Somatosensation
Essential Question
• Describe the structures and functions of somatosensation.
Somatosensation Description
receives impulses from the body’s somatosensory receptors
Location in the Brain
Found in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe
Posterior to the central sulcus, and anterior portion of the parietal lobe.
Body Regions with the Most
Sensory Receptors:

What is a Penfield Homunculus?
• “little man” is a drawing that indicates the density of neurons in the somatosensory cortex
• The more dense the neurons are, the greater the volume that is taken up in the brain.

Figure 8.12
Pathways for Sensory System
• Audition
– Receptors: Mechanoreceptors
– Stimulus Energy: Sound
– Pathway
• Ear: hair cells Ear: vestibulochochlear nerve medulla midbrain thalamus auditory cortex (temporal lobe)
Organs of Hearing
Slide 8.27aCopyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Organ of Corti
Contains the hearing receptors or the hair cells.
Organs of Hearing
Slide 8.27aCopyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The receptors are positioned on the basilar membrane, and the hairs are embedded in the tectorial membrane
Organs of Hearing
Slide 8.27aCopyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
When the tectorial membrane is disturbed, this stimulates the hair cells which send information to the cochlear nerve.
Sensorineural Deafness
Slide 8.27aCopyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Deafness that is caused by damage to neural structures (cochlear nerve or auditory cortex cells)
Can be caused by stroke or trauma
Conduction Deafness
Slide 8.27aCopyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Deafness that is caused by any interference with the conduction of vibrations from the outer to the inner ear
Can be caused by wax accumulations, otitis media, fusion of the ossicles, or pressure imbalance between the middle and outer ear
Organs of Equilibrium
Slide 8.30aCopyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Receptor cells are in two structures
Vestibule
Semicircular canals
Figure 8.16a, b
Static Equilibrium
Slide 8.31Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The vestibule helps us with static equilibrium or the position of the head with respect to the pull of gravity when the body is not moving.
Static Equilibrium
Slide 8.32Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 8.15
Dynamic Equilibrium
Slide 8.33aCopyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The semicircular canal helps with dynamic equilibrium, which responds to angular or rotary movements of the head, rather than straight-line movements.
