Question
Answer
Taste-chemical sense   Gustation - sensation of taste results from action of chemicals on taste buds Lingual papillae  
🗑
Taste Buds   Taste cells apical microvilli serve as receptor surface synapse with sensory nerve fibers at their base Supporting cells Basal cells  
🗑
Physiology of Taste   Molecules must dissolve in saliva 1. Sweet - concentrated on tip 2. Salty - lateral margins 3. Sour - lateral margins 4. Bitter - posterior 5. Umami - taste of amino acids (MSG) Influenced by food texture, aroma, temperature, and appearance  
🗑
Innervation of taste buds   facial nerve (VII) - anterior 2/3’s of tongue glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) - posterior 1/3 vagus nerve (X) - palate, pharynx, epiglottis  
🗑
Smell-chemical sense   Olfactory mucosa contains receptor cells for olfaction highly sensitive up to 10,000 odors on 5cm2 of superior concha and nasal septum  
🗑
Physiology of Smell   Molecules bind to receptor on olfactory hair hydrophilic - diffuse through mucus hydrophobic - transport by odorant-binding protein Loss of smell onasmia  
🗑
The nature of sound   Sound - audible vibration of molecules vibrating object pushes air molecules Vestibularcochlear: Cranial Nerve VIII  
🗑
PItch and loudness   Pitch - frequency vibrates specific parts of ear hearing range is 20 (low pitch) - 20,000 Hz (cycles/sec) speech is 1500-4000 Loudness – amplitude; intensity of sound energy Audioometer: Hearing Tempanometer: motility of TM  
🗑
Outer Ear   Fleshy auricle (pinna) directs air vibrations down external auditory meatus cartilagenous and bony, S-shaped tunnel ending at eardrum glandular secretions and dead cells form cerumen (earwax)  
🗑
Anatomy of middle ear   Middle Ear: TM, Malleus, Incus, Stappes Air-filled tympanic cavity in temporal bone between tympanic membrane and oval window continuous with mastoid air cells Auditory/Estacion tube connects middle ear to throat  
🗑
Middle ear   Contains auditory tube (eustachian tube) connects to nasopharynx equalizes air pressure on tympanic membrane ear ossicles malleus incus stapes stapedius and tensor tympani muscles attach to stapes and malleus  
🗑
Inner Ear   Inner Ear: Oval window, Round window, Bony labyrinth - passageways in temporal bone Membranous labyrinth - fleshy tubes lining bony tunnels filled with endolymph (similar to intracellular fluid) floating in perilymph (similar to cerebrospinal fluid  
🗑
Anatomy of cochlea   Scala media (cochlear duct) separated from scala vestibuli by vestibular membrane scala tympani by basilar membrane Spiral organ (organ of corti) Chochlear problems cause sensorineural hearing loss  
🗑
Physiology of Hearing-Middle Ear   Tympanic membrane has 18 times area of oval window ossicles transmit enough force/unit area at oval window to vibrate endolymph in scala vestibuli Tympanic reflex – muscle contraction tensor tympani m. tenses tympanic membrane stapedius m. reduces m  
🗑
Cochlear Hair Cells   Stereocilia of Hair Cells -bend in response to movement of basilar membrane stimulates sensory dendrites at base Action potentials then transmitted to brain along the cochlear portion of CN VIII  
🗑
Innervation of Inner ear   Vestibular ganglia - visible in vestibular nerve Spiral ganglia - buried in modiolus of cochlea Vestibular goes labrinth Cochlear goes to semilunar/cochlear  
🗑
Auditory proessing center   Damage to either auditory cortex does not cause unilateral deafness (extensive decussation) Complete hearing loss on one side peripheral nervous system on out CNS will not present complete hearing loss on one side  
🗑
Equillibrium   Control of coordination and balance Receptors in vestibular apparatus semicircular ducts contain crista saccule and utricle contain macula Static equilibrium – perceived by macula perception of head orientation Dynamic equilibrium perception of mot  
🗑
External Anatomy of Eye   Superciliary ridge Eyebrow Eyelashes Palpebral fissure Lateral commissure Tarsal plate Pupil Superior palpebral sulcus Upper eyelid Iris Scelra Medial commissure Lower eyelid Inferior palpebral sulcus  
🗑
Eyebrows   Eyebrows provide facial expression  
🗑
Eyelids   Eyelids (palpebrae) block foreign objects, help with sleep, blink to moisten meet at corners (commissures) consist of orbicularis oculi muscle and tarsal plate covered with skin outside and conjunctiva inside tarsal glands secrete oil that reduces tea  
🗑
Conjunctiva   Transparent mucous membrane lines eyelids and covers anterior surface of eyeball except cornea Richly innervated and vascular (heals quickly)  
🗑
Lacrimal Apparatus   Tears flow across eyeball help to wash away foreign particles, help with diffusion of O2 and CO2 and contain bactericidal enzyme  
🗑
Extrensic eye muscles   6 muscles inserting on eyeball 4 rectus, superior and inferior oblique muscles Innervated by cranial nerves III, IV and VI SO4 (cranial nerve IV) LR6 (cranial nerve VI)  
🗑
Tunics of eyes   Fibrous layer - sclera and cornea Vascular layer - choroid, ciliary body and iris Internal layer - retina and optic nerve  
🗑
Optical components   Structures refract light to focus on retina cornea:transparent cover on anterior surface of eyeball aqueous humor: serous fluid posterior to cornea, anterior to lens lens: changes shape focus light vitreous humor: jelly fills space btw lens/retina  
🗑
Aqueous humor   Produced by ciliary body, flows to posterior chamber through pupil to anterior chamber - reabsorbed into canal of Schlemm  
🗑
Cataracts   clouding of lens aging, diabetes, smoking, and UV light  
🗑
Glaucoma   death of retinal cells due to elevated pressure within the eye obstruction of scleral venous sinus colored halos and dimness of vision  
🗑
Neural components   Includes retina and optic nerve Retina forms as an outgrowth of the diencephalon attached at optic disc and at ora serrata pressed against rear of eyeball by vitreous Dettached retinas interrupt vision causing visual fields deffects  
🗑
Detached retina   Blow to head or lack of vitreous Blurry areas in field of vision Disrupts blood supply, leads to blindness  
🗑
Principles of refraction   Light striking the lens or cornea at a 90 degree angle is not bent. Cornea refracts light more than lens does due to shape of cornea lens becomes rounder to increase refraction for near vision to, aqueous humor bends, lens bends,then to brain  
🗑
Near response/Emmetropia   Allows eyes to focus on nearby object (that sends oblique light waves to eyes) convergence of eyes eyes orient their visual axis towards object constriction of pupil blocks peripheral light rays and reduces spherical aberration (blurry edges) accomod  
🗑
Hyperopia   farsighted (eyeball too short) correct with convex lenses  
🗑
Myopia   nearsighted (eyeball too long) correct with concave lenses  
🗑
Photoreceptor cells   Photoreceptors rod cells (night - scotopic vision) outer segment - stack of coinlike membranous discs studded with rhodopsin pigment molecules cone cells (color - photopic vision) outer segment tapers to a point  
🗑
Scotopic system   Rods sensitive – react even in dim light extensive neuronal convergence Edges of retina have widely-spaced rod cells, act as motion detectors  
🗑
Color vision   Primates have well developed color vision nocturnal vertebrates have only rods Cones named for absorption peaks of photopsins Color perception based on mixture of nerve signals  
🗑
Color Blindness   Hereditary lack of one photopsin red-green is common (lack either red or green cones) incapable of distinguishing red from green sex-linked recessive (8% of males)  
🗑
Stereoscopic vision   Depth perception - ability to judge distance to objects requires 2 eyes with overlapping visual fields panoramic vision has eyes on sides of head (horse) Fixation point farther away requires image focus medial to fovea closer results in image focus la  
🗑
Visual projection pathway   Some visual fields cross Right Lateral Field R Left Medial Field R Left Lateral Field L Right Medial Field L  
🗑
Visual Info processing   Some processing occurs in retina adjustments for contrast, brightness, motion and stereopsis Visual association areas in parietal and temporal lobes process visual data object location, motion, color, shape, boundaries store visual memories (words)  
🗑
