34
Q

Reflex

A

Involuntary motor response to stimulus without involvement of higher brain tissue

35
Q

Why reflexes

A

To prevent tissue damage

36
Q

Reflex arc

A

nerve impulse pathway of a reflex

37
Q

Afferent

A

Sends message to CNS

38
Q

Efferent

A

Sends message away from CNS to effector

39
Q

Monosynaptic reflex arc

A

Only 2 neurons
One neuron-neuron synapse

40
Q

Muscle Spindle

A

clusters of sensory cells in skeletal muscle

41
Q

Merkel’s Discs

A

Sustained Touch/Pressure

42
Q

Pacinian Corpuscle

A

Deep Pressure

43
Q

Ruffini Endings

A

Sustained Pressure

44
Q

Meissner’s Corpuscle

A

Texture

45
Q

Free Nerve Ending

A

Soft touch, hot, cold, nociception

46
Q

Receptor Field

A

Area of the skin that can activate a single neuron

47
Q

Sensory Adaptation

A

In response to constant stimulus, many receptors decrease firing rate

48
Q

Phasic receptors

A

Decrease firing rate in response to constant stimulus

49
Q

Diopter

A

1/focal length
Measurement of lens power

50
Q

Name of eye chart

A

Snellen chart

51
Q

20/60 vision

A

Near-sighted

52
Q

Rhodopsin

A

Photopigment in rod cells

53
Q

Positive Afterimage

A

Exposure to bright light results in continued perception of image after looking away

54
Q

Positive afterimage why?

A

Ganglia continue to fire because it takes time for photopigment to return to it’s original state

55
Q

Negative afterimage

A

Prolonged exposure to an object results in continued perception of image in opposite colors after looking away

56
Q

Negative afterimage why?

A

Sensory adaptation, cone becomes desensitized/photobleached
Opposite colors become sensitive

57
Q

Loudness of sound waves

A

Amplitude

58
Q

Normal Sound Range

A

20-20,000 Hz

59
Q

Auricle

A

Outer Ear

60
Q

External auditory meatus

A

Ear canal
(Outer ear)

61
Q

Tympanic membrane

A

Causes auditory ossicles to vibrate

Damage to it causes Conduction Deafness

(Middle ear)

62
Q

Auditory Ossicles

A

Bones
Transmit vibrations to inner ear
(Middle ear)
Malleus, Incus, Stapes

63
Q

Cochlea

A

Inner ear
Transduction of sound energy into electrical impulses

64
Q

Organ of Corti

A

Inner ear
Part of Cochlea
Contains hair cells

65
Q

Inner ear deafness called

A

Sensorineural deafness

66
Q

A

Motor neuron + all muscle fibers it controls

71
Q

Twitch

A

Single short contraction due to single pulse of stimulation

72
Q

Summation

A

Pulses of stimulation in rapid succession build on previous stimulus, adding to the response
Can’t fully relax between stimuli

73
Q

Tetanus

A

Complete muscle contraction

As stimulus frequency increases, summation occurs until tetanus is reached

74
Q

EMG

A

Measures electrical activity produced by contracting muscles

75
Q

Agonist

A

Muscle that’s causing movement

76
Q

Intrafusal fibers

A
