🗑
Special receptors   Sensory receptors in specific locations  
🗑
Mechanoreceptors   Sensory receptors which respond to movement  
🗑
Thermoreceptors   Sensory receptors which respond to heat or cold  
🗑
Photoreceptors   Sensory receptors which respond to light  
🗑
Chemoreceptors   Sensory receptors which respond to chemicals  
🗑
Nociceptors   Sensory receptors which respond to pain or excess stimulation  
🗑
Cutaneous receptors   Receptors in the skin  
🗑
Proprioceptors   Receptors in the muscles and tendons  
🗑
lens   bends light to focus it on the retina  
🗑
sclera   maintains the shape of the eye, protects the inner components of the eye, provides a point of attachment for the muscles that move the eye  
🗑
vitreous humor   gives the general shape to the eyeball by inflating it  
🗑
optic nerve   carries action potentials to the brain  
🗑
retina   contains the light receptors that detect light  
🗑
choroid   supplies the eye's tissues with oxygen and nutrients  
🗑
conjunctiva   protects and lubricates the eye  
🗑
posterior chamber   holds the aqueous humor  
🗑
anterior chamber   holds the aqueous humor  
🗑
cornea   covers the eye and bends light for focusing  
🗑
Merkel's disks   receptors for light touch  
🗑
pupil   allows light to enter the eye  
🗑
iris   controls the size of the pupil  
🗑
suspensory ligaments   connects the ciliary body to the lens  
🗑
ciliary body   contains the ciliary muscle which changes the shape of the lens  
🗑
The cell body of a neuron rests in the spinal cord, and the axon travels all the way to the effector it controls. This is a(n) ________________________ neuron.   somatic motor  
🗑
___________________ neurons all have a synapse at an autonomic ganglion in between the spinal cord and the effector.   Autonomic  
🗑
In the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, the preganglionic neuron is ____________ and the postganglionic neuron is ____________.   short, long  
🗑
In the parasympathetic division of the ANS, the preganglionic neuron is ___________ and the postganglionic neuron is _____________.   long, short  
🗑
The sympathetic division neurons can be found ______________, but the parasympathetic nerves can be found __________________.   all over the body; only in the head and trunk  
🗑
In the sympathetic division, the autonomic ganglia are close to the __________________, while in the parasympathetic division they are close to the ________________.   spinal cord; effector  
🗑

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.
