insects, spiders

27
Q

Camera eyes

A

Humans, dogs,cats, zoo animals

28
Q

compound eyes

A

have lens and photoreceptors but many little eye units, good for a wide view but its pixelated which makes it easy to see when something moves

29
Q

camera eyes

A

light comes in from one location

31
Q

pupil

A

hole in eye (black tiny dot)

32
Q

cornea

A

clear layer to protect pupil and let light through

33
Q

iris

A

colored part of the eye to adjust amount of light entering

34
Q

lens

A

focus light to photoreceptors in back of the eye

35
Q

retina

A

back of the eye that hold photreceptors

36
Q

fovea

A

where photoreceptors are most densely located in retina

37
Q

rods

A

low wavelength light (dim light), grayscale aspects of vision

38
Q

cones

A

color vision, higher wavelength, mostly active during the day

39
Q

optic nerve

A

a bundle of nerve fibers that carries visual information from the retina at the back of the eye to the brain

40
Q

taste is ___

41
Q

Smell is___

42
Q

Taste and smell both use ____

A

Chemoreceptors

43
Q

components of taste

A

sweet, salty, sour, bitter, savory

44
Q

pain

A

chemicals leak and tell nerves something need to be fixed

45
Q

primary proteins (actin and myosin), accessories proteins, calcium, ATP

49
Q

synapse acetylcholine

A

chemical muscles will respond to tellsit to release calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum

50
Q

accessory proteins move from____ when ____ is present, myosin ear now binds to actin

A

actin , calcium

51
Q

endocrine system

A

types of hormones you can make and how cells respond

52
Q

glands

A

produce hormones and place them in circulation

53
