Bladder sensory physiology: neuroactive compounds and receptors, sensory transducers, and target-derived growth factors as targets to improve function.
Urinary bladder dysfunction presents a major problem in the clinical management of patients suffering from pathological conditions and neurological injuries or disorders. Currently, the etiology underlying altered visceral sensations from the urinary bladder that accompany the chronic pain syndrome, bladder pain syndrome (BPS)/interstitial cystitis (IC), is not known. Bladder irritation and inf...
متن کاملSensory Physiology
1. Sensory transduction takes place in a series of steps, starting with stimuli from the external or internal environment and ending with neural processing in the central nervous system. 2. The structure of sensory organs optimizes their response to the preferred types of stimuli. 3. A stimulus gives rise to a generator potential, which, in turn, causes action potentials to be produced in the a...
متن کاملThe structure and function of cutaneous sensory receptors.
The present review of cutaneous sensory receptors begins with a consideration of free nerve endings (FNEs) that can be considered as sensory terminals evidencing the least structural specialization of the axon and associated cells. Using the criteria established by Kruger et al (1981), FNEs of both A delta and C fibers can be identified on the basis of ultrastructural characteristics that inclu...
متن کاملNerve growth factor receptors on normal and injured sensory neurons.
The density and binding properties of receptors for nerve growth factor (NGF) in normal and injured sensory neurons have been analyzed by quantitative radioautography following incubation of tissue sections with radioiodinated NGF. The technique is designed to study binding sites that are half-maximally saturated by picomolar concentrations of NGF: Additional sites of lower affinity have not be...
متن کاملSignaling by sensory receptors.
Sensory systems detect small molecules, mechanical perturbations, or radiation via the activation of receptor proteins and downstream signaling cascades in specialized sensory cells. In vertebrates, the two principal categories of sensory receptors are ion channels, which mediate mechanosensation, thermosensation, and acid and salt taste; and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which mediate v...
