Somatosensory System: Receptors, Pathways, and Sensory Modalities
Somatosensory System
Generalidades
The somatosensory system processes information from various sensory receptors, including:
- Mechanoreceptors (pressure, touch)
- Thermoreceptors (temperature)
- Electromagnetic receptors (light, heat, sound)
- Chemoreceptors (chemicals, taste, smell)
- Nociceptors (pain)
Receptors
Sensory receptors are specialized cells that convert physical or chemical stimuli into electrical signals (action potentials). They are classified based on their location and adaptation properties:

Understanding the Body Schema
Human behavior is a complex interplay of various interactive processes. The body schema, a fundamental aspect of this interplay, is influenced by genetics and environment. It acts as a foundation for personality development and encompasses psychic, volitional, cognitive, and behavioral capacities. The body schema is not merely an image but a dynamic construct shaped by interoceptive and exteroceptive experiences.
