10,000
olfaction is made up of
olfactory bulb, tract, and epithelium
olfaction orientation
bilateral
olfactory epithelium contains how may receptor cells
3 million
olfactory epithelium contains sensory endings from
CN V
the olfactory receptor is what kind of neuron
small bipolar
at the dendrite ends of olfactory vesicleare
cilia spree over the surface in allure of mucus
mucus in the olfactory receptor is secreted by
bowman gland
lifespan of chemosensitive cilia in olfactory receptor
1-2 months then the are replaced
axons from olfactory receptors are among the ____ and ____
thinnest and slowest
olfactory fila
collection of axon bundles (20) in the olfactory receptors
where do the olfactory fila pass through
the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone
olfactory fila make up which CN
CN 1
where are the 2nd order neurons in olfactory
olfactory bulb
the olfactory bulb and tract develops as an outgrowth of the
telencephalon
orientation of the olfactory tract
ipsilateral
the olfactory tract has no relay in ___ and goes straight to the ____
thalamus, cortex
types of cells that make up the olfactory bulb
mitral and tufted cells
cranial nerve one is a ___ order neuron
1st order
each type of olfacor receptor sends an axon to
one glomerulus of a mitral cell
special sense are ____ neurons
bipolar
olfactory tract
when axons of mitral cells come together
what regulates sensitivity of olfaction bulb
collateral to anterior olfactory nucleus. affects sensitive of smells
olfactory fibers project to both ____
both bulbs
olfactory fibers cross the midline in the
ANTERIOR COMMISSURE in the brain in order to talk to other side of brain
what stria is rudimentary in humans
intermediate olfactory stria
three different strai
lateral (primary) olfactory stria, intermediate, medial (secondary)
location of lateral olfactory strai
cortex over uncus
medial olfactory stria location and function.
subcallosal region. emotional response to smell
the lateral olfactory stria projects to the
pyriform area
olfactory information orientation
ipsilateral (except the ones in the anterior white commissure)
olfactory information is sent to what 5 areas of the brain
hypothalamus, hippocampus (integrated memory), orbital cortex, amygdala, thalamus (goes back around to the dorsal medial nucleusthalamus)
what kind of sense is olfactory
special sensory afferent
cns origin or termiatio of the olfactory bulb
lateral geniculate nucleus, superior colliculus, hypothalamus
peripheral origin of the olfactory epithelium
retinal ganglion cells
zonules
attaches ciliary muscle to lens
fovea
area of highest acquit in the eye
focus of the eye requires
refraction light
what accounts for third of the sys refractive power
lens
for near/far objects
most refraction is in the _____ of the corneal surface
air-water interface
iris
affects brightness and quality of image focused one etina
what are the 2 smooth muscles in the iris that control the size of the pupil
pupillary sphincter and the pupillary dilator
which is strong there pupillary sphincter or dilator
sphincter
smaller pupil =
improved ocular performance
the first layer of photoreceptor synapses on what kind of cells
bipolar and horizontal
after the first photoreceptor synapse where do the bipolar and horizontal cells go
bipolar cells: project 2nd synapses
horizontal cells: spread laterally and interconnect receptors, bipolar cells and other horizontal cells
