THE ROLE OF PHARMACOGNOSY IN TRADITIONAL AND MODERN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.pptx
Â
Sensation & perception
1. Sensation and Perception
Sensation: your window to the world
Perception: interpreting what comes
in your window.
2. Transduction
• Transforming signals
into neural impulses.
• Information goes
from the senses to
the thalamus , then
to the various areas
in the brain.
Remember Ethan in Sky High. He
changes his body to slime. Solid
form to liquid form. Change from
one form of energy to another.

3. Sensory Adaptation
• Decreased
responsiveness to
stimuli due to
constant stimulation.
Do you feel your underwear all day?
4. Cocktail-party phenomenon
• The cocktail party effect
describes the ability to
focus one's listening
attention on a single talker
among a mixture of
conversations and
background noises, ignoring
other conversations.
• Form of selective attention.
7. Phase One: Gathering Light
• The height of a wave gives us it’s intensity (brightness).
• The length of the wave gives us it’s hue (color).
• ROY G BIV
• The longer the wave the more red.
• The shorter the wavelength the more violet.
10. Transduction Continued
• Order is Rods/Cones to
Bipolar to Ganglion to
Optic Nerve.
• Sends info to thalamus-area
called lateral
geniculate nucleus
(LGN).
• Then sent to cerebral
cortexes.
• Where the optic nerves
cross is called the optic
chiasm.
11. Phase Four: In the Brain
• Goes to the Visual
Cortex located in
the Occipital Lobe
of the Cerebral
Cortex.
• Feature Detectors.
• Parallel Processing
We have specific cells that see
the lines, motion, curves and
other features of this turkey.
These cells are called feature
detectors.
13. Trichromatic Theory
Three types of cones:
• Red
• Blue
• Green
• These three types of
cones can make millions of
combinations of colors.
• Does not explain
afterimages or color
blindness well.
14. Opponent-Process theory
The sensory receptors
come in pairs.
• Red/Green
• Yellow/Blue
• Black/White
• If one color is
stimulated, the
other is inhibited.
19. Transduction in the ear
• Sound waves hit the eardrum
then anvil then hammer then
stirrup then oval window.
• Everything is just vibrating.
• Then the cochlea vibrates.
• The cochlea is lined with mucus
called basilar membrane.
• In basilar membrane there are
hair cells.
• When hair cells vibrate they
turn vibrations into neural
impulses which are called organ
of Corti.
• Sent then to thalamus up
auditory nerve.
It is all about the vibrations!!!
21. Place Theory
• Different hairs
vibrate in the
cochlea when they
different pitches.
• So some hairs
vibrate when they
hear high and other
vibrate when they
hear low pitches.
23. Deafness
Conduction Deafness
• Something goes wrong
with the sound and the
vibration on the way to
the cochlea.
• You can replace the
bones or get a hearing
aid to help.
Nerve (sensorineural)
Deafness
• The hair cells in the cochlea
get damaged.
• Loud noises can cause this
type of deafness.
• NO WAY to replace the hairs.
• Cochlea implant is possible.
25. Taste
• We have bumps on
our tongue called
papillae.
• Taste buds are
located on the
papillae (they are
actually all over the
mouth).
• Sweet, salty, sour
and bitter.
26. Vestibular Sense
• Tells us where our
body is oriented in
space.
• Our sense of
balance.
• Located in our
semicircular canals
in our ears.
27. Kinesthetic Sense
• Tells us where our
body parts are.
• Receptors located in
our muscles and
joints.
Without the kinesthetic sense
you could touch the button to
make copies of your buttocks.
