What sense in the mouth perceives this part of food?

Slide 2 - Open question

A scientist is looking at a piece of the skin of an animal, he researches the different layers of the skin.
Which of the senses (in sensory organs) will he probably find first when he start on the outside of the skin and moves further inwards?
A
sense of pain
B
sense of heat
C
sense of cold
D
sense of pressure

Slide 3 - Quiz

Leprosy is an illness in which bacteria infect the nerves in the skin. This results in people with leprosy losing their ability to feel things.

Slide 4 - Open question

Why can't humans hear certain sounds, but dogs can?

Slide 5 - Open question

Types of stimuli
  • Some stimuli are too weak, beneath the threshold value of the sensory organ: you don't notice them
  • Adequate stimulus = stimulus belonging to a sensory organ, low threshold value
  • Stronger stimulus > higher amount of impulses = higher impulse frequency

Slide 6 - Slide

Why don't you feel your clothes all day?

Slide 7 - Open question

Reacting to stimuli
  • Habituation: used to stimuli > higher threshold value. You won't notice it (as much)
  • Motivation: your brains change the threshold value 
  • Influencing: your brains change the image created, because they are influenced.
Na een tijdje kleren dragen, merk je dat niet meer.
Als je goed oplet, wordt drempelwaarde van je gehoor lager. je hoort net wat beter
Bij gezichtsbedrog worden de hersenen voor de gek gehouden

Slide 8 - Slide

sensory neuron
  • passes impulses from sensory organ to central nervous system
  • cell body outside of central nervous system
S
interneuron
  • Passes impulses from other nerve cells
  • No long axons
  • Only found inside central nervous system
I
motor neuron
  • Passes impulses from central nervous system to muscle/gland
  • Cell body on the end in the central nervous system
M
Types of nerve cell
