taste bud types
vallate fungiform foliate
26
Vallate perceives...
flavors
27
fungiform detects...
flavors and temperature
28
foliate perceives...
taste sensation
29
What is the posterior central tongue most sensitive to
bitterness
30
taste transduction pathway
CN VII, IX, X Medulla oblongata thalamus Insula tongue region of somatosensory OR frontal lobe for flavor perception
31
middle ear includes
tympanic membrane auditory tube auditory ossicles
32
What are the auditory ossicles
malleus incus stapes
33
oval window
conducts vibration via stapes through to cochlea
34
round window
conducts vibrations from cochlea back to middle ear
35
Path of sound waves
pinna external auditory canal tympanic membrane malleus incus stapes oval indow cochles round window
36
sound info is received by
primary auditory area in temporal lobe
37
sound info interpreted by
wernicke's area (temporal) common integrative area (parietal)
38
Hearing Conduction deficit
Sound can't be conducted to inner ear tx: hearing aid ex: ruptured eardrum, otitis media
39
nerve deficit
damage to stereocilia d/t long term loud noises tx: cochlear implant
40
static equilibrium
detects linear head movement to maintain balance receptors in vestibule otolith crystals!
41
dynamic equilibrium
rotational change in head to maintain balance receptors in semicircular canals ampulla at base contain the hair receptors that feel the cupula move
42
static and dynamic equilibrium info go through the ___ nerve
CN VIII- vestibulocochlear nerve
43
BPPV- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
otoliths displaced- false feeling of movement
