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% |

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 |
