Exam 4! Flashcards
Endocrine, Heart, Eyes, Ears, C
What lies within the Fovea Centralis in the eye?
Densley packed cones
Where lies your “blind spot”
Optic Disc, where the optic nerve exits the eye
Name the Layers of the Eye in order from superficial to deep.
Fibrous Tunic, Vascular Tunic, Neural Tunic (retina)
How do the cells of the eye get their nutrients?
The blood from the Aqueous Humor in Anterior Chamber of Anterior Cavity
State the Pathway of Light
Cornea - aqueus humor - pupil - more aq. humor - lens - vitrious humor - ganglion cells - Bipolar neurons - photoreceptors (rods and cones) - the visual pathway
Which muscle lifts the eyelid?
Levator Palpibrae Superioris
What is the overall term for the bones inside the Ear?
Ossicles
In Infants, what addition to their auditory canal allows for the drainage?
Eustachian Tube
If you were to drive a stake through the heart, what layers would it pass through? In order from Superficial to Deep.
Fibrous pericardium - parietal pericardium - pericardial cavity (filled with venus fluid) - Epicardium - Myocardium - Endocardium - Chambers of the Heart
Of the Heart’s Chambers, which has the thickest myocardium? What about the next Thickest?
Left Ventricle (Most), Right Ventricle (Second)
Why is it that the Ventricles are so thick?
Because they pump the majority of the blood and need to be stronger
State the Blood Pathway through the Heart (nondeep version)
Vena Cavi - Right Atrium -Right Ventricle - Pulmonary trunk - lungs - Left Atrium - Left Ventricle - Aorta
Name two structures of the fetal heart that cause deoxegenated blood to bypass the pulmonary circuit.
Foramen Ovale, Ductus Arteriosis
What do the fetal structures that bypass the pulmonary circuit change into and become in Adults?
Foramen Ovale becomes Fossa Ovalis. Ductus Arteriosis becomes Ligamentum Arteriosum
What are the two functions of the Pancreas?
Produces insulin to LOWER blood sugar. Produces glucogon which RAISES Blood sugar.
The Hypothalamus releases two types of hormones that do what and go where?
Releases Relasing hormones and Inhibiting hormones that go into the hypophysial portal in the Infindiubulum that go into the Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland.
Which lobe of the Pituitary Gland only stores hormones for the hypothalamus?
The Posterior Lobe
What is the function of the Anterior Lobe of the Pituitary Gland?
To send out Tropic Hormones that tell other glands to secrete their hormones.
What are Tropic Hormones?
Hormones sent out by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland that tell other glands to secrete their hormones.
What is Negative Feedback in the Endocrine system?
A built in system that when a hormone level gets to high, it then reverberates back and triggers the response to stop secreting and lower the level.
Unlike the Nervous system, what are the primary qualities of the Endocrine system?
Slow, Long-term, and hormonal
Where can you locate the Oval Window?
The foot plate of the stapes, that fits into the cochlea
State the structures of the Ear from Superficial to Deep
Bony Labryinth, Perilymph, Membranous labyrinth, endolymph.
What structure matches with the Vestibule of the ear? What is the frequency coding type?
Uticle and Sarcule. For linear motion.
