QuestionAnswer
What are the five special senses? Olfaction/ Gustation/ Vision/ Equilibrium/ Hearing
2. Which special senses are considered chemical senses? Smell and taste
3. Where are the olfactory organs located? Nasal cavity/ sides of nasal septum
4. What do olfactory receptors detect? Dissolved chemicals
5. Which special sense reaches the cerebral cortex without synapsing in the thalamus? Olfactory (smell)
6. What is gustation? Provides info about the foods and liquids consumed
7. What is a taste bud? Where are taste buds located? Associated with epithelial projections on superior surface of tongue/ inside the lingual papillae
8. What are the bumps on your tongue called? What do they contain? Lingual papillae that contain many taste buds
9. Know the types of taste sensations. Sweet/ Salty/ Sour/ Bitter/ Umami- Meaty flavors
10. How are gustation and olfaction similar? They dissolve chemicals on contact hairs
11. What are the major structures and secretions of the external ear and their functions? Auricle: surrounds EAM (protect canal opening, funnels sound, directional sensitivity)/ Tympanic membrane: thin sheet & separates external and middle ear
12. What is the tympanic membrane? Thin, semitransparent sheet that separates external and middle ear
13. Know each of the ossicles of the middle ear. What is the function of these ossicles? Malleus (hammer)/ Incus (anvil)/ Stapes (stirrup)// They conduct vibrations to inner ear
14. What are the basic receptors of the inner ear? Hair cells
15. Understand the process of how a sound sensation occurs. (slides 57-58)
16. What are the three layers of the eye? Outer fibrous layer/ Intermediate vascular layer/ Deep inner layer
17. What is the iris? How is it related to the pupil? Contains papillary muscles that change diameter of pupil
18. What is a photoreceptor? Specialized to detect light
19. Compare and contrast the two kinds of photoreceptors. Rods: Grayscale vision
19. Compare and contrast the two kinds of photoreceptors. Cones: Sensitive to colors
20. What is the optic disc and why is it a blind spot? Where all the nerve fibers converge and form the optic disc/ Contains large blood vessels to supply eye with O2 and nutrients
21. What is the function of the lens? Changes shape to focus on nearer or farther objects
22. The lens changes ______________ to focus on nearer or farther objects. Shape
1. What does the endocrine system regulate? Growth, Development, Reproduction
2. What types of messengers does the endocrine system use? What other system is this similar to? Chemical messengers to relay info and instructions between cells// Like the nervous system
3. What controls the endocrine system at the highest level? Hypothalamus
4. The hypothalamus works closely with what other structure? Pituitary gland
5. Where is the thyroid? In the neck
6. Which pituitary hormone stimulates production of thyroid hormones? Thyroid- Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
7. What does it mean that thyroid hormones have a calorigenic effect? Cells consume more energy resulting in incr heat generation/ has a strong, immediate, shot-lived increased cellular metabolism/ Affect most cells in body
8. Where are the parathyroid glands located? Embedded in posterior surface of thyroid gland
9. Where are the adrenal glands located? Superior border of each kidney
10. What are the two subdivisions of the adrenal glands? Superficial adrenal cortex/ Inner adrenal medulla
11. What hormone is produced by the pineal gland and what are the functions of it? Melatonin/ influences circadian rhythms
12. What characterizes diabetes? By glucose concentrations high enough to overwhelm the reabsorption capabilities of the kidneys
13. What is type I diabetes? Insulin dependent/ inadequate insulin production by pancreatic beta cells/ multi injections daily or continuous infusion/ 5%-10% of cases/ often develops in childhood
13. What is type 2 diabetes? Non-insulin dependent/ most common form of diabetes/ tissues do not respond properly (insulin resistance)/ Associated with obesity
14. Why does untreated diabetes damage the kidneys? it overwhelms the filtration abilities of the kidneys b/c of excess glucose. This leads to poor blood quality
15. Understand each of the possible complications of untreated diabetes. Kidney degeneration, retinal damage, early heart attacks, peripheral nerve problems, peripheral nerve damage
16. Which organs also have secondary endocrine functions? Intestines, kidneys, heart, thymus, gonads
1. What organ system is blood part of? Cardiovascular System
2. What kinds of material does blood transport to and from cells? O2 & Carbon Dioxide/ Nutrients/ Hormones/ Immune system components/ Waste products
3. What are five important functions of blood? (slide 4) Transp of dissolved sub/ Regulation of Ph and ions/Restriction of fluid loss at injury sight/ Defense against pathogens & toxins/ Stab of body temp
4. Be familiar with the composition of whole blood. How much is plasma and formed elements? Whole blood= plasma+formed elements/ 46%-63% plasma/ 37%-54% Formed elements
5. What are the three types of formed elements? Platelets/ WBC/ RBC
6. What percent of formed elements are RBCs, WBCs, and platelets? Platelets less than 1%/ WBC Less than 1%/ RBC 99.9%
7. What is the name of the process of RBC production? Erythropoiesis
8. Given the blood type, be able to name the type of surface antigens present in that blood.
9. Given the blood type, be able to name the type of antibodies present in that blood.
10. Why do blood donors have to be compatible with recipients? What happens when donated blood is not compatible?
11. Why is type O- a universal donor? Has no surface antigens/Donors antibodies are not important
12. Be able to interpret a table like the one on slide 37 and give the blood type given the reactions.
13. What are the general functions of WBCs? (slide 43) Defend against pathogens/ Remove toxins and wastes/ Attack abnormal cells
14. Know the order of WBCs in terms of abundance. Neutrophils/ Lymphocytes/ Monocytes/ Eosinophils/ Basophils
15. Know each type of WBC and their functions given in the slides.
16. What is WBC production called? Leukopoiesis
17. What are three functions of platelets? (slide 56) Release important clotting chem/ Temporarily patch dmg vessel walls/ Reduce size of a break in vessel wall
18. Define hemostasis. Cessation of bleeding
19. What is the ultimate result of the three pathways of the coagulation phase? Circulating fibrinogen is converted into insoluble fibrin
20. Know the medical complications of blood clotting from slide 68. Forms blockage in blood vessel/ incr risk of heart attack and stroke/ sitting for long periods can stimulate blood clots in legs/ Pulmonary embolism risk
