Question
Answer
What are the 5 special senses?   Sight, Hearing, Equilibrium, Smell, and Taste.  
🗑
What are the structures of the eye?   Eyelids, Conjunctiva, Extrinsic eye muscle, Lacrimal apparatus.  
🗑
Eyelids   shields eye and secretes oily substance from the tarsal glands.  
🗑
Conjunctiva   Membrane that covers front of eye and secretes mucus to lubricate eye.  
🗑
Extrinsic Eye Muscle   Move eyes  
🗑
Lacrimal Apparatus   Secretes saline solution and lysozyme (enzyme that kills bacteria)  
🗑
3 Tunics that make up side of the eyeball   Sclera, Vascular, Retina  
🗑
Sclera (1 of 3 tunics)   outermost layer, and makes eye white  
🗑
Vascular Tunic (1 of 3 tunics)   Middle layer, and has 3 parts:The choroid-back of the eye; Ciliary Body-muscles that attach to lens; Iris-contracts/expands to admit light through the pupil.  
🗑
Retina (1 of 3 tunics)   Innermost layer-contains photoreceptors (rods and cones that respond to light)  
🗑
The eyeball is filled with   Fluid  
🗑
What are the two humors and where are they found?   Aqueous Humor (fluid is anterior to the lens) and Vitreous Humor (fluid is posterior to the lens)  
🗑
What focuses the light   The lens of the eye  
🗑
Distant light   Does not require the lens to bend  
🗑
Closer light   Does require the lens to bend  
🗑
Photoreceptors   Respond to light and send impulses to the brain for interpretation.  
🗑
Cones   Interpret colors  
🗑
Rods   Interpret greys and provide peripheral vision.  
🗑
What travel along the optic nerve?   Impulses  
🗑
Eye Reflexes   Photopupillary Reflex and Accommodation Pupillary Reflex.  
🗑
Photopupillary Reflex   Iris contracts pupils to prevent damage to photoreceptors.  
🗑
Accommodation Pupillary Reflex   Isis contracts pupil to view close objects (Allows more acute vision)  
🗑
Chemoreceptors (Smell)   Are receptors for smell and taste (They respond to chemicals in solution)  
🗑
Olfactory Receptors in the roof of nasal cavities detect?   Smells  
🗑
Olfactory Hair (Cilia) on Olfactory Receptor cell are stimulated by? (Smell)   Chemicals dissolved in mucus.  
🗑
Impulses travel along the olfactory filaments to the? (Smell)   Olfactory Nerve  
🗑
Smell is closely tied to? (Smell)   The Limbic System (emotional part of the brain)  
🗑
Olfactory receptors adapt to (Smell)   Unchanging stimuli (Why you don't smell your own B.O.  
🗑
Tongue is covered in.   Small peg-like projections called Papillae.  
🗑
What is along the side of the papillae (Tastes)   Taste Buds  
🗑
What responds to chemicals in saliva? (Tastes)   Gustatory Cells  
🗑
Gustatory Hairs (Cilia)do what? (Tastes)   Detect taste and send impulses to the brain on the facial glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves.  
🗑
What are the Taste Sensations? (5)   Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Salty, and Umami  
🗑
Sweet   Responds to sugars (Hydroxl group OH-)  
🗑
Sour   Responds to acids (Hydroxl group H+)  
🗑
Bitter   Responds to alkoids  
🗑
Salty   Responds to metal ions in solution  
🗑
Umami   responds to glutamete (amino acids)-means delicious in Japanese.  
🗑
What is taste influenced by?   Smell and texture of foods.  
🗑
Structure of the Ear   Outer Ear, Middle Ear, Inner Ear  
🗑
Outer Ear is made up of?   Pinna, External acoustic Meatus, Tympanic Membrane, and has Sound transmission.  
🗑
Pinna   Shell of ear, funnels sound waves  
🗑
External Acoustic Meatus   Canal sound waves travel through  
🗑
Tympanic Membrae   Ear drum  
🗑
Middler Ear is made up of   Ossicles, Pharyngotympanic tube, and Sound Transmission (only)  
🗑
Ossicles   Transmit vibrations from eardrum to oval window.  
🗑
Pharyngotympanic Tube   Equalizes pressure around the ear drum  
🗑
Inner is composed of   Bony chambers in the temporal bone lined with membranes filled with perilymph fluid.  
🗑
Chambers include:   Cochlea, Vestibule, Semicircular Canal  
🗑
Hearing Receptors are located where?   In the membrane of the cochlea.  
🗑
Cells in the Cochlea are stimulated by?   Sound waves.  
🗑
Deafness   Is any degree of hearing loss  
🗑
Conduction Deafness   Cannot transmit vibrations through external and middle ear  
🗑
Sensorineural Deafness   Damage to the nervous system structures that deal with hearing  
🗑
Symptoms of Equilibrium problems   Rolling eyes (involuntary), Nausea, Vertigo, Unable to stand straight.  
🗑
