Question 1

Sensory receptor
Chemo-

Answer 1

receptors sensitive to changes in chemical concentration

Question 2

Pain receptors:

Answer 2

detect tissue damage

Question 3

Thermoreceptors:

Answer 3

respond to temperature differences

Question 4

Mechanoreceptors:

Answer 4

respond to changes in pressure or movement

Question 5

Photoreceptors:

Answer 5

respond to light; found in the eye

Question 6

propioreceptor

Answer 6

Aware of where your body parts are withut looking at them

Question 7

A sensation

Answer 7

Sensation occurs when sensory receptors detect sensory stimuli.
Activates according to its receptor: damage, heat, pressure, etc.

Question 8

A perception

Answer 8

Perception involves the organization, interpretation, and conscious experience of those sensations.

Question 9

projection

Answer 9

Awareness of stimuli

Question 10

Receptive Fields

Answer 10

What each repect is able to sense.

Specialization

Cones -see red,blue green anad light, not great at senseing motion

Robs- are really good at seeing mothing but they arent good at seeing colos

Question 11

Fovea:

in the eye

Answer 11

area of concentrated receptors Its high density of cone photoreceptors allows the human eye to focus on the object and the details within the objec

Question 12

Eye

Answer 12

An organ that allows one to see.

Question 13

Retna

Answer 13

the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eyeball. Images that come through the eye’s lens are focused in retina.

Question 14

Photoreceptors:

Answer 14

Modified neurons, the visual receptor cells

Question 15

Cones:

Answer 15

Provide sharp images in bright light and color vision (3 colors)
Fovea contains densely packed cones, but no rods

Question 16

Rods:

Answer 16

More sensitive to light than cones, function in dim light
Provide black and white vision
Provide less precise images (general outlines) than cones,
There are many more rods than cones in the retina

Question 17

Hearing

Answer 17

As the fluid moves, 25,000 Hair cells, are set into motion. These Hair cells transform the vibrations into electrical impulses that then travel along the auditory nerve to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals, and this is how we hear.

Question 18

Cochlea

Answer 18

a fluid-filled, spiral-shaped cavity found in the inner ear that plays a vital role in the sense of hearing and participates in the process of auditory transduction.

Question 19

Somatic Pain

Answer 19

: skin and muscles, respond to damage to tissue
tearing, burning, electrical, chemical

Question 20

Visceral Pain

Answer 20

internal organs, respond to massive damage
Only receptors that organs have
Stretching, tissue death, emergency chemicals, loss of blood flow

Question 21

Referred pain:

Answer 21

when visceral response is confused with somatic

Question 22

Taste buds

Answer 22

Taste buds are mostly found on the tongue
Sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami
All are distributed on the tongue, some areas densely

Question 23

taste hairs

Answer 23

Grabs the material and shoves it into the taste bud.

Question 24

Olfactory cells

Answer 24

Smell is Dependent on olfactory cells, which carry receptor proteins
Estimated that there are 400 receptor proteins

Question 25

Olfactory Bulb

Answer 25

The receptor area of smells

Question 26

Name the five main senses

Answer 26

touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste

Question 27

Compare sensation, perception, and projection

Answer 27

WIND EX

WInd blows the SENSATION goes to a signal to ur brain and gets intpersted ( PERCETPTION) and then the Porjection is where you undertand that the wind blew on your arm

Question 28

Explain situations using receptive fields

Answer 28

This is the reason you see Motion before you see color beacuse rods spesisle in seeing motion as opposed to colors like cones.

Question 29

Describe how we see

Answer 29

When light hits the retina, special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals. These electrical signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain. Then the brain turns the signals into the images you see.

Question 30

Compare rods and cones

Answer 30

Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). They do not mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity. Cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity.

Question 31

Describe how we hear

Answer 31

As the fluid moves, 25,000 Hair cells, are set into motion. These Hair cells transform the vibrations into electrical impulses that then travel along the auditory nerve to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals, and this is how we hear.

Question 32

Compare somatic and visceral pain receptors

Answer 32

Somatic Pain is pain in your muscles, skin, or bone. This pain is focused on a specific area and could be the type of pain you feel with movement, when experiencing a headache, or when you cut your skin. Visceral Pain is pain experienced in your internal organs and it can be harder to centralize or identify

Question 33

Describe the process of taste

Answer 33

Taste buds have very sensitive microscopic hairs . Those tiny hairs send messages to the brain about how something tastes, so you know if it’s sweet, sour, bitter, or salty.

Question 34

Describe the process of smell

Answer 34

When you smell an odor, you’re actually breathing in tiny molecules. These molecules stimulate specialized nerve cells, called olfactory sensory neurons, high inside the nose. Sends signals to your brain and your brain begins to interpert the smell.

Question 35

Aside from the five main senses, what other senses are there?

Answer 35

Thermoception – we know whether our environment is too cold or too hot. Being able to sense the temperature around us helps keep us alive and well.

.

Proprioception includes the sense of movement and position of our limbs and muscles.

Question 36

Why did pirates wear eyepatches?

Answer 36

an eye patch was used to condition the eye so the pirate could go down to the storage area beneath the deck and have an eye that can see in the dark!

Question 37

What are the only stimuli that the organs can detect?

Answer 37

Stretching, thats why you feel gas, it streches our organs

Question 38

How does referred pain happen?

Answer 38

when you have an injury in one area of your body but feel pain somewhere else. This happens because all the nerves in your body are part of a huge, connected network

Question 39

What are the five tastes?

Answer 39

sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami.
