Senses Quiz

QuestionAnswer
what are special senses vision, hearing, taste, smell
what is a general sense touch
what is a general sensory pathway only 3 neurons involved
what is a special sensory pathway more than 3 neurons involved
photoreceptors respond to light
nociceptors respond from chemicals from damaged tissue (pain)
thermoceptors respond to changes in temp
chemoreceptors respond to concentrations of chemicals, must be dissolved in fluid
mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical forces
different kinds of mechanical forces proprioceptors, baroreceptors, stretch receptors
proprioreceptors changes in tension in the muscles and tendons, help maintain equilibrium and spacial awareness
baroreceptors pressure
stretch receptors sense changes in length of muscles, EX: muscle spindle fibers and golgi tendon organs
referred pain think heart attack, pain felt in a part of the body other than its actual source
how many accessory structures of the eye 3
how many layers of eyelid 4
layers of eyelid skin, muscle (orbicularis oculi), connective tissue, conjunctiva (outer to inner)
conjunctiva folds back to cover eye's anterior surface, if inflamed, conjunctivitis/pink eye
levator papilae superioris smooth muscle that holds up eyelid when awake
lacrimal apparatus has the lacrimal gland, which produces tears
what do the superior and inferior canaliculi do drain tears from medial corner of eye
pathway of drained tears canaliculi, lacrimal sac in lacrimal bone, nasolacrimal duct, nasal cavity
extrensic muscles of the eyes lateral rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, inferior oblique, superior oblique
lateral rectus abducens, lateral mvmt
superior rectus oculomotor, superior mvmt
inferior rectus oculomotor, inferior mvmt
medial rectus oculomotor, medial mvmt
inferior oblique oculomotor, superior and lateral mvmt
superior oblique trochlear, inferior and lateral mvmt
3 layers of the walls of the eye outer fibrous, middle vascular, inner nervous
fibrous has _____ structures 2
structures of the fibrous sclera (whites of the eyes), and cornea
sclera majority of the fibrous tunic, mostly posterior, some anterior
cornea bulges out, anterior, no bv
________ structures in the vascular layer many
choroid lines inner sclera and is dark brown
ciliary body smooth muscle, anterior part of choroid, attaches to lens w suspensory ligaments, muscle contraction changes lens thickness.
iris colored part of the eye (pigments) suspended b/w cornea and lens w smooth muscle fibers
opening in the center of iris pupil
how does pupil regulate light uptake constricting and dialating the hole
iris contains ______ sympathetic muscle dialator pupillae muscle (radial fibers), dim light SYMPATHETIC response
iris contains ________ parasympathetic muscle constrictor pupillae muscle (constrictor pupullae) muscle, bright light, parasympathetic
lens posterior to iris/pupil, transparent, avascular, uses suspensory ligaments (like ciliary body)
changing the thickness of lens accommodation thru ciliary body contraction changing tension on ligaments
olfactory organ high in the nasal cavity
olfactory receptors are what type of receptor chemo
where do odor mcs dissolve in the mucous of the nasal cavity
olfactory receptor cells w olfactory hairs/cilia is simulated when you smell
olfactory receptor cells send a action potential to the olfactory bulb
what is olfactory bulb part of the brain, inside cranial cavity
where does the olfactory nerve pass thru cribform plate (ethmoid bone)
where do the olfactory impulses go temporal lobe, limbic system
where are gustatory cells located beneath the tongue surface
how does food get dissolved saliva, which stimulates chemoreceptors
how do taste cells respond send signal to insula thru facial, glossopharyngeal and vagas nerve (all participate in TASTE)
