21
Q

Primary sensory neurons

A

Two different kind
—Sensitive to ATP
—Sensitive to serotonin

22
Q

Type II pathway

A

Different GOCR for each taste
Release if Calcium ion
Calcium triggers ATP release

23
Q

Type III pathway

A

Ph drop
H(+) enters the cell
Ca rushes in from ECF
Serotonin production

24
Q

What is sound

A

Sound is perception and interpretation of air waves

25
Q

Pressure wave

A

Sinusoidally varying density of air molecules

26
Q

Volume/Loudness

A

Amplitude of a sound wave
Measured in dB

27
Q

Pitch

A

Frequency of sound wave
Measured in Hz

28
Q

External ear

A

pinna :direct sound waves into ear
Ear canal: air filled space

29
Q

Boundary of external and middle ear

A

Tympanic membrane

30
Q

Tympanic membrane

A

Drum vibrate
Convert sound wave to mechanical stress

31
Q

Middle ear

A

Air filled space
bones from external to internal
Malleus
Incus
Stapes

32
Q

Boundary middle and inner ear

A

Oval window
Round window
separate air field from fluid field
Convert mechanical energy to fluid wave energy

33
Q

Inner ear

A

Fluid filled
Cochlea + nerves

34
Q

Cochlea function

A

Balance
Hearing
Equilibrium

35
Q

How AP fires?

A

1- fluid wave created in cochlea by oval window
2- fluid waves push on cochlear duct membrane
3- hair cells bend and ion channels open
4-create electrical signals
5- release neurotransmitters
6- neurotransmitters on sensory cell create AP

36
Q

Ap travel from sensory neuron to brain by

A

Cochlear duct

37
Q

Energy wave moves from ———

A

cochlear duct to tympanic duct and go back to middle ear from round window

38
Q

Cochlear duct name

A

Endolymph
high in K

39
Q

Vestibular and tympanic duct name

A

Perilymph
**connected together **

40
Q

Organ of corti function

A

Signal transduction
Graded potential

41
Q

Endolymph composition is similar to

A

ICF

42
Q

How hair cells release neurotransmitters

A

1- Basilar membrane on bottom
2- Ridge of epithelial cell above that(support cells + hair cells)
3- Cilia of hair cells embedded in tactorial membrane
4- fluid wave move tactorial membrane which moves cilia
5- cilia is mechanically gated channels
Which will open by tactorial movement
6-opening cause release of neurotransmitters

43
Q

Tip link

A

Cilias are connected together by tip link
Which if you pull on cilia, all cilia will move

44
Q

Which ion flow when mechanically gated channels open on sterocilia

A

Ca and K

45
Q

Excitation and inhibition of cilia cells

A

When hair cells bend in one direction, cell depolarizes, which increase AP frequency

When hair cells bend in opposite direction, ion channel close and cell hyperpolarize

46
Q

Sterocilia excitation will produce

A

Receptor potential which is made by K go inside the cell

47
Q

as basilar membrane moves further from oval window, it gets

A

Wider, thinner, more flexible
Which increase the sensitivity to low frequencies

48
Q

Regional differences

A

High frequency is sensed in closer distance to oval window

Lower frequency further from oval window

49
Q

Labeled line coding from basilar membrane

A

Different pathway
Different input
Different frequencies

Brain can differentiate

50
Q

Auditory pathway

A

Sound waves goes to
1- cochlea (left/right)
2- brainstem cross over happens
3- thalamus
4- auditory cortex (left/right)
