SENSORRY PROCESS- NORMAL AND ABNORMAL DIVYA TUKARAM MHATRE 1 ST SEMESTER BSC NURSING DR.G.D.POL FOUNDATIONS INSTITUTE OF NURSING EDUCATION
General objective At the end of the topic students will be able to get depth knowledge regarding “Sensory Process – Normal and Abnormal ”.
Specific Objective At the end of the topic students will be able to, Introduction of normal and abnormal sensation. Types of sensation. Skin Smell Taste Vision Hearing Kinestetic sense Vestibular sense.
Normal and abnormal sensation : The nervous system is a complex system of nerve cells that send signals around the body. It receives information about outside world through sensory inputs. The various types of sensation are : Skin, Smell, Taste, Vision, Hearing, Kinesthetic and Vestibular. Secondary processing disorders disrupt the processing the sensory information by the nervous system resulting inappropriate response, reactions or both. Individuals with sensory processing disorder cannot process sensory process effectively. Introduction
Types of Sensation Smell Skin Hearing Taste Vision Vestibular senses
Types of sensation Skin The network of nerve endings and touch receptors in the skin called the somasensory . It is responsible for sensation such as cold, warmth, rough, pressure, tickle, pain, etching, etc. Continuous disorder/Factual disorder: They include loss of sensation pressure, warmth, cold and pain.
2. Smell The nerve receptor for smell are located in the lining of the upper Nasal passage. When a smell is detected, the olfactory neurons generate an impulse which is passed on to the brain along the olfactory nerve. Olfactory disorder: This includes sensivity to odor or absence of recognition of certain odors .
3. Taste The taste sensation occurs in the mouth when a substance reacts chemically with Taste receptor cells. The sensation of Taste called “gustation” give us four basic tastes – sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Gustatory disorder : These include decrease in taste sensitivity or complete lack of Taste for certain substance.
4. Vision The retina of each eye contains receptor cells responsible for Vision. There are two kinds of receptor cells in the retina – roads and lones . The retina is a continuation of the topic Vision. The retina carries the visual simulations from retina to the occipital lobe in the brain. Visual disorder : The common visual disorders are myopia ( near sightedness ), hyperopia ( far sightedness ), astigmatism and color blindness.
5. Hearing Impulses are carried through the auditory nerves to the temporal lobes of the brain. Hearing plays an important role in the understanding of spoken language. It is the principle sensory modality for human communication. Auditory defects : Hearing can be impaired by injuries, fixation or disengagment of the occicles , diseased tonsils, measles, mumps, etc.
6. Kinesthetic Sense Kinesthetic senses perform the very important function of providing cells to our movements and maintain smooth and continuous action. Kinesthetic Sense : These refer to a failure to control movements and inability to walk straight, etc.
7. Vestibular Sense The Vestibular senses monitor equilibrium and awareness of body position and movement. The receptor for these are the Vestibular in the inner part of the ear. Vestibular disorder : Nausea and dizziness, inability to maintain equilibrium ans posture.
Summary Here, I summarized that Introduction of normal and abnormal sensation, types of sensation, 1.skin 2.smell 3.taste 4.vision 5.hearing 6.kinesthetic senses 7.vestibular senses.
Conclusion Here, I conclude that sensation and perception are distinct but interconnected processes involved in our experience of the world. Sensation involves the initial direction and encoding of sensory stimuli, while perception involves the interpretation and organization of sensory information into meaningful experience.
