Q

Three canals that each define two-thirds of a circle and lie in the three planes of space
Membranous semicircular ducts line each canal and communicate with the utricle
The ampulla is the swollen end of each canal and it houses equilibrium receptors in a region called the crista ampullaris
These receptors respond to angular movements of the head

Q

The colored part of the eye
Pupil – central opening of the iris
Regulates the amount of light entering the eye during:
Close vision and bright light – pupils constrict
Distant vision and dim light – pupils dilate
Changes in emotional state – pupils dilate when the subject matter is appealing or requires problem-solving skills (sympathetic stimulation)

20
Q

A thickened ring of tissue surrounding the lens
Composed of smooth muscle bundles (ciliary muscles)
Anchors the suspensory ligament that holds the lens in place

A

Ciliary Body

21
Q

A dark brown membrane that forms the posterior portion of the uvea
Supplies blood to all eye tunics

A

Choroid region

22
Q
  1. Vascular Tunic (Uvea) Has three regions:
A
  1. Choroid
  2. Ciliary body
  3. Iris
23
Q

clear(anteriorly)
-lets light enter the eye

A

Cornea

24
Q

opaque (posteriorly)
-protects the eye and anchors extrinsic muscles

A

Sclera

25
Q

Structure of the Eyeball

A

A slightly irregular hollow sphere with anterior and posterior poles
The wall is composed of three tunics –
1. Fibrous-outer
2. Vascular -middle
3. Sensory-inner
The internal cavity is filled with fluids called humors (Vitreous and Aqueous)
The lens separates the internal cavity into anterior and posterior segments

26
Q

a. Enable the eye to follow moving objects
b. Maintain the shape of the eyeball

A

Six straplike extrinsic eye muscles

27
Q

secrete tears
Tears
1. Contain mucus, antibodies (defensin), and lysozyme
2. Enter the eye via superolateral excretory ducts
3. Exit the eye medially via the lacrimal punctum
4. Drain into the nasolacrimal duct

A

Lacrimal glands

28
Q

Transparent membrane that:
Lines the eyelids as the palpebral conjunctiva
Covers the whites of the eyes as the ocular conjunctiva
Lubricates and protects the eye

A

Conjunctiva

29
Q

contains glands that secrete a whitish, oily secretion (Sandman’s eye sand)

A

Lacrimal caruncle

30
Q

Protect the eye anteriorly
Palpebral fissure – separates eyelids
Canthi – medial and lateral angles (commissures)

A

Palpebrae (Eyelids)

31
Q

move the eyebrows medially (What you talking about Willis?)

A

Corrugator muscles

32
Q

depresses the eyebrows (I’m sorry)

A

Orbicularis muscle

33
Q

Coarse hairs that overlie the supraorbital margins
Functions include:
1. Shading the eye
2. Preventing perspiration from reaching the eye

A

Eyebrows

34
Q

70% of all sensory receptors are in the eye
Most of the eye is protected by a cushion of fat and the bony orbit
Accessory structures include

A
  1. Eyebrows
  2. Eyelids
  3. Conjunctiva
  4. Lacrimal apparatus
  5. Extrinsic eye muscles
35
Q

send impulses to:
The olfactory cortex just above the orbits.
The hypothalamus, amygdala, and limbic system exhibit emotional response to smell) ex. Smoke , gas, or skunk –stimulate the sympathetic system where as appetizing odors stimulate para sympathetic (salivation)

A

Mitral cells

36
Q

Influence of Other Sensations on Taste

A

Taste is 80% smell
Thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, nociceptors also influence tastes
Temperature and texture enhance or detract from taste
We can smell over 1000 different odors

37
Q

taste sensation elicited by the amino acid glutamate

A

Umami

38
Q

taste sensation alkaloids (base) such as quinine and nicotine

A

Bitter

39
Q

taste sensation- hydrogen ions (acid)

A

Sour

40
Q

taste sensation- metal ions

A

Salt

41
Q

taste sensation- sugars, saccharin, alcohol, and some amino acids

A

Sweet

42
Q

taste cells

A

Gustatory cells

43
Q

dynamic stem cells

A

Basal cells

44
Q

insulate the receptor

A

Supporting cells

45
Q

Taste buds are found in papillae of the tongue mucosa
Papillae come in three types:

A

filiform, fungiform, foliate and circumvallate

46
Q

to substances dissolved in fluids of the nasal membranes

A

Smell

47
Q

to substances dissolved in saliva

A

Taste

48
Q

Chemical senses

A
