lab 13 minus obvious shit Flashcards
tactile sensation receptors (6)
tactile corpuscles
hair root plexuses
nonencapsulated sensory corpuscles
bulbous corpuscles
lamellar corpuscles
free nerve endings
tactiel corpuscles
aka meissner corpuscles
found in dermal papillae in hairless skin
- detect touch and low freq vibration
hair root plexuses
free nerve endings wrapped around hair follicles
detects movement that disturbs the hairs
nonencapsulated sensory corpuscles
free nerve endings contacting stratum basale, tree shaped
detect pressure and continuous touch
numerous in fingers, lips
bulbous corpuscles
encapsulated receptors deep in the dermis, ligaments, and tendons
detect stretching and pressure
lamellar corpuscles
encapsulated dendrites located in dermis and sub layer
detect high freq vibrations and steady pressure
free nerve endings
all areas
aka itch and tickle receptors
detect tickle and itch
tests to test sensations of touch
two point test
single hair test
test to test temperature
grid temp test
tests to test proprioception
circle dot test
olfactory tract
formed in olfactory bulb
olfactory bulb contains
mitral cells (2nd order neurons of olfaction)
cribriform plate
landmark/feature of ethmoid bone
contains olfactory foramina that allows passage of the olfactory nerves
nasal cavity contains
olfactory epithelium on top that covers the cribriform plate
olfactory gland and mucus function
produce mucus which moistens surface of olfactory epithelium to dissolve odourants so transduction can occur
olfactory sensory neuron part locations (axon, dendrites, cilia, odourant molecule)
neuron located in olfactory epithelium
axon - goes through foramina to bulb/mitral cells
dendrite - continues thu olf epi to surface in nasal cavity
cilia - come off of dendrite, site of transduction
odourant molecule - binds to cilia
test to test olfaction
clove oil + peppermint oil switch
lingual papillae
elevated areas of the tongue with taste buds
gustatory microvilli
a hair that projects thru the taste pore at the apical end of a every taste bud
what type of receptor are taste buds?
chemoreceptors
3 cranial nerves that transmit sensory info from taste buds to brain
vagus, glossopharyngeal, facial
why does plugging the nose affect taste?
because odourants cannot reach the olfactory epithelium as easy
lacrimal gland
secretes lacrimal fluid which drains into excretory lacrimal ducts that empty tears on the conjunctiva of the eyelid
lacrimal sac
tears go from the lacrimal canaliculi to here, then to the nasolacrimal duct
eyelid functions to
protects the eye
pupil
where light enters the eye
centre black dot
iris
coloured portion of the eye
regulates amount of light entering the eye thru the pupil by being controlled by zonular fibres
sclera
white of the eye
gives shape to eye, protects inner parts, serves as attachment site for extraocular muscles
pathway of tears
lacrimal gland
excretory lacrimal ducts
surface of eye
lacrimal canaliculi
lacrimal sac
nasolacrimal duct
nasal cavity
superior rectus (action and nerve)
looking up, nerve 3
inferior rectus (action and nerve)
looking down, nerve 3
lateral rectus (action and nerve)
looking side to side (depends which eye),
nerve 6
medial rectus (action and nerve)
looking side to side, depends which eye
nerve 3
superior oblique (action and nerve)
rotational stability of eyeballs, nerve 4
inferior oblique (action and nerve)
rotational stability of eyeballs, nerve 3
ciliary body components
ciliary muscle and ciliary process
ciliary body
anterior portion of the choroid, that secretes aqueous humor
