Cerebrum extremely large relative to body size

Lateralization of the cerebrum

Areas of the left hemisphere specialized for language

73
Q

Explain the gustatory stimulus that leads to a salty taste. (B Wright short answer)

A

Limited in concentrated forms in nature, so important to detect, preference may be learned in humans

74
Q

A

Response to glucose

There is an inverse relationship between sensitivity to sweet and body size

75

Visual cortex processes opposite visual field

Midbrain processes information from opposite visual field

Stereoscopic vision

Macula

79
Q

Be able to explain the evolutionary transition of bones making up the jaw joint and how this relates to organization of the bony elements of the modern mammalian jaw and middle ear. (K. Wright short answer)

A

Jaw transitioned from solely a quadrate-articular joint, to a joint still containing the quadrate and articular as well as the dentary and squamosal to just a dentary and squamosal joint

With this transition, the quadrate and articular were reduced and the quadrate became the incus and the articular became the malleus, which are involved in hearing along with the tympanic bone.

80
Q

Be able to explain the “Trade-Off hypothesis as it relates to special sense organs in primates (K. Wright short answer)

A

Rivalry between smell and vision for dominance

Visual parts of the brain developed at the expense of the olfactory parts in the forebrain

It is the idea that specialization of one sensory function will impair another

OWM use visual cues in reproductive behavior and have emphasized vision over olfaction while NWM rely more on olfaction

81
Q

Be able to compare and contrast strepsirrhine, platyrrhine, and cattarrhine rhinaria. (K. Wright short answer)

A

Strepsirrhine: wet-nosed, forward facing nostrils - for enhanced smelling

Platyrrhine: dry-nosed, side facing nostrils

Catarrhine: dry-nosed, downward facing nostrils

Rhinaria characteristics:

  • Naked surface surrounding the nasal openings/nostrils of most mammals
  • Sensitive to touch but no olfactory receptors
  • Probably assists in delivering the pheromones to the VNO
  • Philtrum attaches the rhinarium to the mucus membrane of the premaxilla
82
Q

Be able to explain the path of sound through the ear from the point at which sound waves enter the ear to where auditory stimuli are translated into neural signals. (K. Wright short answer)

A

1) Sound waves enter ear through ear canal
2) Pass through tympanic membrane causing ossicles to oscillate; flowing from malleus to incus to stapes, which inserts on oval window
3) Travels through oval window then enter the perilymph in the scala vestibuli
4) Sound waves cause vestibular membrane to move resulting in pressure wave formation in the endolymph within the cochlear duct and displacement of part of the basilar membrane
5) Hair cells in the organ of corti are distorted initiating a nerve signal
6) High frequency waves die out quickly whereas low frequency waves pass out through the round window

83
Q

Be able to explain which features of the vestibular apparatus sense horizontal and linear acceleration and give a very general explanation of how the vestibular apparatus functions to sense motion and position of the head. (K. Wright short answer)

A

Utricle is an otolith organ within the macula that is oriented horizontally and senses horizontal/linear acceleration

Sacculus is an otolith organ within the macula that is oriented vertically and senses vertical/linear acceleration

In vestibular apparatus, as orientation of the head changes or linear acceleration occurs, the otoliths move causing pressure to be distributed through the cupula in endolymph and onto the hair cells causing formation of neural signals
