Does visceral reflex arcs have two sensory neurons?
No, it has 2 visceral motor neurons. A visceral reflex has a receptor, a sensory neuron, a processing center, and 2 visceral motor neurons.
What is the difference between somatic sensory neurons and visceral sensory neurons?
your face and your face
What part of the cortex is responsible for sensation of a full bladder?
the visceral sensory area
What is the visceral sensory system?
Visceral sensations are: Hunger, Thirst, and Hollow Organ fullness
Examples of visceral reflexes?
An example of a visceral reflex would be the things your stomach has to do to digest food. There are sensory receptors that get stimulated when food is present and they tell other cells to get on with the work of digestion by a visceral (internal organ) reflex. Your digestive system has so many of these that the network involved with this is sometimes called the second brain.
What sensory receptors are located in blood vessels and visceral organs and their signals are not usually consciously perceived?
Interoceptors or visceroceptors
What Sensory receptors that are located in blood vessels and visceral organs and their signals are not usually consciously perceived?
Interoceptors or visceroceptors
The area of the cortex that is responsible for sensations of the full bladder and the feeling that your lungs will burst when you hold your breath too long is?
visceral sensory cortex
How do visceral reflex arcs differ from somatic?
An autonomic reflex arc is similar to the somatic kind, but differs principally in the motor output side. The sensory side is similar in that a transducer sends a signal via a nerve fiber into the CNS. As with the somatic arc, this sensory fiber is associated with a pseudo-unipolar neuron in a craniospinal ganglion, usually one of the dorsal root ganglia. In the autonomic arc, the sensory transducer is often located in or associated with visceral organs.
DIvision of the nervous system brings sensory information to the central nervous system?
The afferent neurones or Sensory neurones. Further divided to 2 subtypes, the visceral (from inner organs) and somatic (from skin). There is also the cranial nerves which provide information to the CNS.
What additional sensory information would you expect persons with impairment of organs of equilibrium to use to supplement their relative lack of some sensory information?
Proprioception
Which is not used to classify sensory receptors?
The number of dendritic endings present
