CONES
26
These are axons of retinal ganglion cells bundled together
OPTIC NERVE
27
 It conveys information from the retina
OPTIC NERVE
28
 It joins together at the base of the brain to form the X-shaped (optic chiasm)
OPTIC NERVE
29
- it is determined by the frequency of vibration.
PITCH
30
it is measured in hertz (Hz) or cycles per second.
PITCH
31
it is the function of intensity.
LOUDNESS
32
it is the degree to which the compressions and expansions of air differ from each other.
LOUDNESS
33
it provides information about the nature of the particular sound.
TIMBRE-
34
First vibration happens
TYMPANIC MEMBRANE
35
It is the most important membrane in the Organ of Corti that holds the auditory receptor cells.
BASILAR MEMBRANE
36
 Bundle of axons of bipolar neurons that sends auditory information to the brain.
COCHLEAR NERVE
37
Cell bodies resides in the Cochlear Nerve Ganglion
COCHLEAR NERVE
38
Excitatory Neurotransmitter at the Afferent Synapse.
GLUTAMATE
39
PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF VESTIBULAR SYSTEM
 Balance  Maintenance of the head in an upright position.  Adjustment of the eye movement to compensate for head movements.
40
2 COMPONENTS OF VESTIBULAR SYSTEM
 VESTIBULAR SAC &  SEMI-CIRCULAR CANALS-
41
It respond to the force of gravity and inform the brain about the head’s orientation
VESTIBULAR SAC-
42
It respond to angular acceleration (changes in the rotation of the head
SEMI-CIRCULAR CANALS-
43
It is important in maintaining both adequate nutrition and quality of life
GUSTATION
44
It helps us determine the tastes of foods using taste receptors.
GUSTATION
45
It is the composite of olfaction and gustation.
FLAVOR
46
- It is the alkaloid tastes from foods.
BITTERNESS
47
It is the acidity taste from foods – unripe fruits, spoil due to bacterial activity
Sourness
48
It is detected by the saltiness receptors from foods that contains sodium chloride.
SALTINESS
49
It is a Japanese word that means “ Good Taste
UMAMI
50
- It is detected by its odor and texture.
FAT
51
an enzyme which ensures that fatty acid detectors are stimulated
LINGUAL LIPASE
52
consists of groups of 20 to 50 receptor cells, specialized neurons arranged somewhat like the segments of an orange
taste buds
53
– it is located at the end of each cell and project through the opening of the taste bud (pore) into the saliva that coats the tongue.
cilia
54
it form synapses with dendrites of bipolar neurons whose axons convey gustatory information to the brain through cranial nerves 7, 9, and 10
Taste Receptor Cells
55
small protuberances of the tongue.
PALPILAE
56
-shaped like little plateaus
Papillae
56
-shaped like little plateaus
Papillae
57
The first relay station for taste.
NUCLEUS OF THE SOLITARY TRACT
58
Part of the brain that receive the gustatory information
CEREBRAL CORTEX
59
It contains free nerve endings of TRIGEMINAL NERVE AXONS.
OLFACTORY MUCOSA
60
-It presumably mediate sensations of pain that can be produced by sniffing some irritating chemicals
TRIGEMINAL NERVE AXONS.
61
It lies at the base of the brain on the ends of the stalk-like olfactory tract
OLFACTORY BULB
62
It receives a single axon from olfactory receptor cells and forms a synapse with dendrites of mitral cells.
OLFACTORY BULB
63
Helps in converting the odor to olfactory information
OLFACTORY BULB
64
Synapses take place in the complex axonal and dendritic arborization
OLFACTORY GLOMERULI
65

67
It contains a dense, complex mixture of receptors.
GLABROUS SKIN
68
Encapsulated the receptors that detect the stimuli
MECHANORECEPTORS
69
The movement of the mechanoreceptors causes ion channels to open, and the flow of ions into or out of the dendrite causes a change in the membrane potential.
MECHANORECEPTORS
70
It is the stimuli that cause vibration in the skin or change pressure.
TOUCH
71
 It is the feeling of warmth and coolness, not absolute, except at the extremes.
TEMPERATURE
72
neither warmth nor coolness, depends on the thermal stimulation of the area
neutrality
73
Pain and emotional reaction to it are controlled by mechanisms within the brain.
PAIN
74
accomplished by the networks of free nerve endings of the skin.
Pain perception
75
detectors of noxious stimuli.
NOCICEPTORS
76
pure perception of the intensity of painful stimulus.
SENSORY COMPONENT
77
unpleasantness or degree to which the individual is bothered
IMMEDIATE EMOTIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF PAIN
78
Responsible for actions.
SKELETAL MUSCLE
79
Attached to bones at each end and move the bones when they contract.
SKELETAL MUSCLE
80
Enumerate Sensory Component Pathway
the spinal cord > ventral posterolateral thalamus > primary and secondary somatosensory cortex.
81
Electrical stimulation causes painful burning and stinging sensations.
INSULAR CORTEX
82
Damage to this region decreases people’s emotional response to pain – they continue to feel the pain but do not seem to recognize that it is harmful.
INSULAR CORTEX
83
Involved in the perception of pain (intensity)
Primary Somatosensory Cortex
84
Involved in the immediate emotional effects (unpleasantness)
Anterior Cingulate Cortex
85
It contains extrafusal muscle fibers, which provide the force of contraction.
ALPHA MOTOR NEURONS
86
Contain intrafusal muscle fiber – sensitivity to increase muscle length.
