Chapter 19 Part 2 Flashcards
Cell types; olfactory receptors -thermoreceptors; bundles of axons form olfactory nerves -supporting cells - basal (stem) cells
Olfaction (smell)
Taste perception involves olfactory input
Gustation (taste)
Evalatations in tongue
Papillae
Contains taste buds
Vallate, fungiform
Do not contain taste buds
Filiform
Gustatory receptors,chemoreceptors,supporting cells, basal stem cells
Taste bud cell types
Eyebrows,eyelashes,eyelids,eye muscles lacriminal glands- produce tears
Vision (eyes) accessory structures
Fibrous (outter), vascular (middle), retina (inner)
Eye layers
Consists of cornea, scleara
Fibrous tunic
Anterior transparent portion
Cornea
Posterior whitish portion
Sclera
Consists of choroid, cillary body
Vascular tunic
Produce aqueous humor
Cillary processes
Alter lens shape for focusing
Cillary muscles
Colored part of eye, forms pupil dilates and constricts regulating amount of light entering eye
Iris
Consists of neutral portion,pigmented portion
Retina or nervous tunic
Containing photoreceptors and ganglion cells that form optic nerve at optic disc
Neutral portion (retina)
No rods or cones
Blind spot
Contains melanin producing melanocytes that absorb excessive light
Pigmented portion
Rods involved with dim (black and white) vision- process light into neural signals
Photoreceptors
Involved with color vision and resolution, almost concentrated in fovea centralis (no rods)
Cones
Area of highest resolution
Fovea centralis
Separated by lens
Eye cavities
Contains aqueous humor that produces a intracular pressure
Anterior cavity
