somatosensation Ability to sense touch, pain and temperature T/F: sensory information detected from one side of the body is perceived by the opposite side of the brain true alpha motor neuron a motor neuron that innervates extrafusal muscle fibers extrafusal muscle fiber one of the muscle fibers that are responsible for the force exerted by contraction of a skeletal muscle the final common path a term for the spinal cord motoneurons, the ones ultimately responsible for stimulating peripheral muscles to generate behavior cutaneous sensation touch, pressure, heat, cold, and pain free nerve ending respond to temperature changes and pain encapsulated receptor primarily mechanoreceptors that inform about object movement and friction proprioception our sense of body position proprioceptor low threshold mechanoreceptors that inform the CNS about movement and position by detecting the stretch of the tissue in which they lie muscle spindle fusiform structures that run in parallel to extrafusal fibers; conveys information about muscle length and stretch which muscles have more spindles? muscles used for precision movements (extraocular eye muscles, fingers/hands) golgi tendon organ detects tension joint receptors act as limit detectors gamma motor neuron innervates intrafusal muscle fibers; causes contraction of the spindle, keeping it taut what innervates muscle spindles? One efferent fiber and one or more afferent fibers type Ia afferent sensitive to speed and length of stretch; faster type II afferent sensitive to length of stretch, not speed; slower reciprocal inhibition the simultaneous contraction of one muscle and the relaxation of its antagonist to allow movement to take place where are GTOs located? myotendinous junction how do vibration illusions work? type Ia spindle afferents are selectively stimulated visual capture the tendency for vision to dominate the other senses ruffini-like receptors (type I) slowly adapting nerve fibers; signals static joint position, joint movement, direction and speed of movement paciniform receptors (Type II) rapidly adapting nerve fibers; signals joint movement (especially velocity) golgi endings (Type III) slowly adapting receptors; only found in ligaments (role unknown) free nerve endings (Type IV) signals tissue damage; located in fibrous capsule and ligaments which receptors are found in the fibrous part of the joint capsule? ruffini-like and paciniform receptors

Cell cycle is a 4-stage process that takes place in a cell as the cell grows and divides. Each complete cell division will result in two daughter cells. The four stages of cell division are Gap 1 ( G₁ phase ), Synthesis (S phase), Gap 2 ( G₂ phase ) and mitosis. Figure 3 Figure 3 - The G₁, S and G₂ phases are also known as interphase. The process of mitosis and cytokinesis are also called M phase. Stages of cell division Mitosis Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides to form two new identical daughter cells. The two daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes and genetic content as their parent cell. Mitosis can be divided into 4 phases: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Figure 4 Figure 4 - 1. During prophase, chromatin condenses and becomes tightly coiled to form chromosome structure. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined together at the centromere. At the end of prophase, nucleolus disappear and nuclear membrane disintegrates. Figure 5 Figure 5 - 2. Metaphase follows after prophase. Centrioles migrate to the opposite poles of the cell. The mitotic spindle/spindle fibres are fully formed. All the chromosomes are lined up randomly at the metaphase/equatorial plate. Metaphase ends when the centromeres divide. Figure 6 Figure 6 - 3. Anaphase begins when the sister chromatids separate at the centromere. Shortening of the spindle fibres pull the sister chromatids apart to the opposite poles. The separated chromatids are referred to as daughter chromosomes. Anaphase ends when the chromosomes reach the poles of the cell. Figure 7 Figure 7 - 4. Telophase begins when the sets of chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell respectively. The chromosomes then start to uncoil to become their original fine chromatin threads again. Nucleoli and nuclear membrane are reformed. Spindle fibres disappear and the process of mitosis is now complete. Cytokinesis follows after the telophase stage. The Differences between Mitosis and Cytokinesis in Animal and Plant Cells In plant cells, the spindle fibres form even though they do not have centrioles. The differences in the cytokinesis process in animal and plant cells can be seen in the figures below. Figure 8 Figure 8 - 1. In animal cells, the microfilaments in the cytoplasm contract pull a ring of plasma membrane inwards. The cytoplasm is constricted in the middle of the cell between two nuclei. Figure 9 Figure 9 - 2. The formation of cleavage furrow pinches at the equator of the cell. Figure 10 Figure 10 - 3. The cleavage furrow deepens progressively until the cell separates, forming two daughter cells. Figure 11 Figure 11 - 1. In plant cells, membrane-enclosed vesicles form and gather at the equator of the cell. Figure 12 Figure 12. - 2. The vesicles join together to form a cell plate. Figure 13 Figure 13 - 3. The cell plate divides the cell into two daughter cells. Cellulose produced by the cell strengthens the newly formed cell wall. The Necessity of Mitosis Controlled mitosis is important because the genetic information carried by the chromosomes is necessary for proper functioning of an organism. Mitosis is important in cell repair and regeneration. Here are some examples where mitosis plays an important role: Lizards grow new tail if their tails break Starfish replaces lost arms by mitosis Liver cells divide to replace damaged and injured tissues Stem cells culture to produce meats Animal cloning (Dolly, the sheep)
