Question
Answer
raw form in which these receptors send information to the brain   sensation  
🗑
the way the brain interprets the information   perception  
🗑
respond to changers in the concentration of chemical substances   chemoreceptors  
🗑
respond to numerous stimuli and tissue damage   pain receptors  
🗑
sensitive to temperature changes   thermoreceptors  
🗑
respond to light   photoreceptors  
🗑
associated with the changes of body surfaces(touch, pressure, pain, & temperature)   extroreceptive senses  
🗑
changes with viscera(blood pressure, pH, meals)   visceroreceptive senses  
🗑
changes in muscles and tendons and in body position   proreoreceptive senses  
🗑
(simplest) lie between epithelial cells; responsible for the sensation of itching (temperature & pain)   free nerve endings  
🗑
found on lips, fingertips, palms; provides fine touch   meissner's corpuscles  
🗑
(common in deep dermal tissue) detect heavier pressure   pacinian corpuscles  
🗑
body has warm and cold receptors; allows quick adaptation   temperature senses  
🗑
sharp pain; lasts for a few seconds; leaves as soon as stimulus leaves   acute pain  
🗑
dull, aching pain; cannot pin point; localized pain   chronic pain  
🗑
oxygen defficiency   hypoxia  
🗑
blood defficiency   ischemia  
🗑
tells you where pain is coming from   projection  
🗑
pain fomes from another part of the body other than the part being stimulated (example: heart attack)   referred pain  
🗑
blocks substance p which causes pain impulses   enkephalins  
🗑
stimulates other nuerons to release chemicals to fight pain   serotonin  
🗑
blocks substance p; produced by pituitary glands   endorphins  
🗑
bipolar nueron; has microvili, receptor proteins, 12 million cells; 500 different types of chemoreceptoprs   olfactory receptors  
🗑
are molecules such as proteins and glycoreceptors located on the cell membrane   membrane receptors  
🗑
strongest evoker of memory   smell  
🗑
splits impulses down the olfactory tract   olfactory bulb  
🗑
sends impulses to portions of the limbic system   olfactory tract  
🗑
main interpreting areas for the olfactory impulses   cerebral cortex  
🗑
adapt quickly to smell sensations; only nuerons to be replaced on a regular basis and only to come in contact with the external factors   olfactory receptors  
🗑
percent of taste sensation comes from the sense of smell   75  
🗑
sensory organs for taste; located on cheeks, roof of mouth, tongue, and pharynx   taste buds  
🗑
have microvilli and are modified epithelial cells (not nuerons)   gustatory cells  
🗑
bumps on tongue that has one taste bud   taste pore  
🗑
microvilli on ends of taste cells   taste hairs  
🗑
carbs (tip of tongue)   sweet  
🗑
acidic (lateral of tongue)   sour  
🗑
ionized inorganic salts (widespread)   salty  
🗑
bases and alkaloids, & poisons (back of tongue)   bitter  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
