Q

What are the three steps of an odorant binding to a receptor in olfaction

A
  1. odorant binds to receptor protein and ATP is converted into cyclic AMP
  2. CAMP opens sodium channels
  3. If enough sodium channels open an action potential is created
    G CAMP Smells Salty

Q

How do sweet bitter and umami receptors work

A

they are linked to a G protein called a gustducin which is activated by a food particle and the the gustducin stimulates a 2nd messenger to release neurotransmitter

flows from the posterior chamber to the anterior chamber

31
Q

how is aqueous humour drained out of the eye

A

through the scleral venous sinus

32
Q

what is one main difference between aqueous humour and vitreous body

A

aqueous humour is continually replaced while vitreous body is never replaced

Q

a flat lens would be better for seeing at what distance

A

36
Q

what is myopia

A

you are nearsighted so you can only see things close up

37
Q

what is hyperopia

A

you are far sighted so can only see things far away
