Question
Answer
Two classes of receptors   General senses-temperature, pain, touch, stretch, & pressure. Controlled by other nerves. Special senses-gustation, olfaction, vision, equilibrium, & audition. Rely on cranial nerves.  
🗑
Chemoreceptors   Detect chemical molecules  
🗑
Termoreceptors   Detect changes in temperatures  
🗑
Photoreceptors   Detect changes in light. Vision.  
🗑
Mechanoreceptors   For hearing & balance. Detect mechanical changes like touch, vibration, & stretch. ex. Proprioceptors detect the position & the state of contraction of muscles.  
🗑
Baroreceptors   Detect changes in blood pressure w/i body structures.  
🗑
Nociceptors   Detect pain  
🗑
General Sense: Tactile Receptors   Most numerous type of receptor. Mechanoreceptors that react to touch, pressure, & vibration. Located in the dermis & hypodermis.  
🗑
Special Sense: Gustation   Taste buds. Papillae: Filiform, Fungiform, Vallate (Circumvallate), Foliate.  
🗑
Taste buds   Microscopic chemoreceptors on tongue, posterior palate, cheeks, pharynx, epiglottis.  
🗑
Papillae   Macroscopic structures on tongue that may contain taste buds. Help with friction. Move food around. 4 types: filiform, fungiform, vallate (circumvallate), foliate.  
🗑
Filiform   Anterior 2/3 tongue. No taste buds.  
🗑
Fungiform   Tip and sides of tongue, only few taste buds.  
🗑
Vallate (Circumvallate)   Back of tongue, larges, least numerous type, contain most taste buds.  
🗑
Foliate   Lateral tongue, used during infancy and early childhood.  
🗑
Taste Bud Cytology   Gustatory cells, Supporting cells, Basal cells. After age 50, the ability to distinguish taste begins to decline. Be able to label picture.  
🗑
Gustatory cells   Chemoreceptor cells. Replaced every 7-10 days. Gustatory microvillus-taste hair.  
🗑
Supporting cells   Insulate gustatory cells from each other & surrounding epithelium.  
🗑
Basal cells   Immature; replace other two cell types.  
🗑
Gustatory Sensations   5 flavors detected over broad regions of the tongue: Salty, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Umami (Savory). Facial nerve 7 innervates anterior 2/3 of tongue. Glossopharyngeal nerve 9 innervates posterior 1/3 of tongue.  
🗑
Special Sense: Olfaction   Olfactory neurons-chemoreceptors, bipolar. Supporting cells-surround olfactory neurons. Basal cells-stem cells for renewal of others. 50-60 different primary odors & thousands of chemical stimuli can be recognized. Label pic.  
🗑
Vision   Special Sense  
🗑
Conjunctiva   Provides a superficial covering over the eye's anterior exposed surface. Translucent connective tissue. Connects eyelid to eye. Function: Protect Brain-trough catches stuff.  
🗑
Eyebrows, eyelashes, & palpebrae (eyelid)   Prevent foreign objects from coming into contact with the eye.  
🗑
Lacrimal glands   Keep the exposed surface moist, clean, & lubricated. Superior & lateral to eye. Tears created. Evaporate in nose.  
🗑
Eye structures   Lens, Pupil, Anterior chamber (filled with thin aqueous humor-water like-make new a lot), Posterior chamber (filled with thin aqueous humor), Vitreous chamber (filled w/ thick vitreous humor-jelly-don't make a lot of new), Optic nerve.  
🗑
Cataracts   Major cause of blindness. Lens becomes opaque. Causes: aging, diabetes, UV exposure, glaucoma, eye infections. Treatment: artificial lens.  
🗑
Regions of the eye   Fibrous tunic, vascular tunic, neural tunic.  
🗑
Fibrous tunic   Most superficial. Sclera (white), Cornea.  
🗑
Vascular tunic   Choroid, Cilliary body (thicker portion of choroid-anterior), Ciliary zonules-suspensory ligaments. Iris.  
🗑
Neural tunic   Retina-photoreceptors.  
🗑
Photoreceptors   Neural layer of retina. Rod cells and Cone cells  
🗑
Rod cells   Function in dim light. Don't provide sharp vision or color vision. 100 million per eye. Use in the dark. More peripheral. Black and white.  
🗑
Cone cells   Operate best in bright light. Provide high acuity color vision. 10 million per eye. In the center. Need bright light.  
🗑
Regions of the Retina   Macula lutea, fovea centralis, optic disc  
🗑
Macula lutea   contains mostly cones  
🗑
Fovea centralis   Contains only cones. Maximal visual acuity.  
🗑
Optic disc   Contains no rods or cones. Axons & ganglion cells converge to exit eye. Blind spot-where nerves enter. Brain fills in blank using other eye.  
🗑
Emmetropia   Normal vision  
🗑
Hyperopia   Farsightedness. Eyeball is too short so near objects are blurry.  
🗑
Myopia   Nearsightedness. Eyeball is too long so far objects are blurry.  
🗑
Eye development   Eye buds directly off the brain.  
🗑
Special sense: Equilibrium & Hearing. Divisions of the Ear:   External ear, Middle ear, Inner ear.  
🗑
External Ear Structures   Defined from the auricle to the tympanic membrane. External auditory meatus: narrow external opening prevents large objects from entering middle ear. Ceruminous glands produce cerumen. Cerumen+dead skin cells=earwax.  
🗑
Earwax   Helps reduce infection by impeding microorganism growth. Best bug repellent.  
🗑
Middle Ear Structures (Inside Petrous Part)   Air filled tympanic cavity. Tympanic membrane. Tensor tympani muscle & stapedius. Auditory ossicles-malleus, Incus, Stapes. Oval (vestibular) window. Round (cochlear) window. Auditory (Eustachian) tube connects ear to nasopharynx.  
🗑
Inner Ear Structures (3 regions for balance)   VESTIBULE-Utricle & saccule (bags). Detect acceleration/deacc. Helps sense equilibrium. SEMICIRCULAR CANALS-detect rotational movements. Help sense equilibrium. COCHLEA-senses audition-continues hearing. VESTIBULAR & COCHLEAR NERVES.  
🗑
Spiral Organ of Corti   Label! Fluid detects waves. Membranes move-detected by cochlear nerve. To temporal lobe. Cochlear nerve, Scala vestibuli-perilymph, vestibular membrane, scala tympani-perilymph, cochlear duct,-endolymph, cochlear hair cells-mechanoreceptors, tectorial mem  
🗑
Sound wave pathways through the ear part 1   1. Sound waves enter external aud meatus & make tymp membrane vibrate. 2. Tymp membrane vibrations causes movement by auditory ossicles; sound waves amplified. Stapes moves w/i oval window; pressure waves generated.  
🗑
Sound wave pathways through the ear part 2   3. Pressure waves begin at oval window & travel through scala vestibuli. 4. High & upper medium-frequency pressure waves in scala vestibuli cause vestibular mem to vibrate-pressure wave formation in endolymph of cochlear duct.  
🗑
Sound wave pathways through the ear part 3   4 cont. Pressure waves displace region of basilar membrane. Hair cells in spiral organ are distorted-stimulus in cochlear branch of CN 8. 5. Remaining pressure wave vibrations transferred to the scala tympani & exit the inner ear via the round window.  
🗑
Cochlear Implant   Surgical implant. Sound waves received at antenna, transmitter, & receiver. Turned into electrical impulses. Lead goes to the cochlea. Electrical impulses relayed through lead & stimulate cochlear nerve directly adjacent to cochlea.  
🗑
Otitis Media   An infection of the middle ear. More common in children because their auditory tubes are horizontal-bacteria from throat infection can migrate through into middle ear. Less common in adults because their auditory tubes are more vertical.  
🗑
Gustation   Gustatory cell, chemoreceptor, CN 7 & 9.  
🗑
Olfaction   Olfactory neuron, chemoreceptor, CN 1.  
🗑
Vision   Rods & cones, photoreceptor, CN 2.  
🗑
Audition   Cochlear hair cells, mecanoreceptor, CN 8.  
🗑
Equilibrium   Hair cells, mechanoreceptor, CN 8.  
🗑
