Lecture 7- CN I-VI Flashcards
where is the axons of the olfactory receptor neurons in the PNS
sphenoethmoid recess of nasal cavity
how often do the olfactory neurons regenerate
every 30-60 days
what is the function of CN V fibers in olfactory epithelia
detect pungency
what olfactory receptors define chemical identity
odorant receptor, mainly GPCR, less
what are the characteristic of AP speed in CN I
nonmyelinated and thinnest axon (.2 mm)
slowest transmission speed
what is the olfactory filia
20-30 axons bundle together
where do olfactory filia cross and the function
cross the cribiform plate and synapse with olfactory bulb
how are AP conducted in the olfactory bulb
synapse with mitral cell dendrite (pyramidal cells, neocortex)
glutamate and carnosine are released EPSP
centrifugal fibers
what are centrifugal fibers in conduction of AP in olfactory bulb
negative circuit regulating odarant detection
adaptation to odors
how does the AP reflect intensity of the stimuli
represented by frequency of AP
what are the first three order neurons of the olfactory pathway
1- olfactory receptor neuron
2- mitral cell (olfactory bulb)
3- only sensation, no thalamic relay for conscious perception
what is the olfactory pathway after the 3rd order neuron
anterior olfactory nucleus in olfactory tract
olfactory tubercle
piriform cortex
amygdala
periamygadaloid cortex
anterior parahippocampal gyrus
where does the anterior olfactory nucleus in the olfactory tract cross over
anterior commissure
what makes uo the piriform cortex
uncus
limbic lobe
what is the function of the amygdala in the olfactory pathway
emotional learning, aversion
what is the function of the anterior parahippocampal gyrus in the olfactory pathway
memory
what makes up the primary olfactory cortices
piriform cortex
periamygdaloid cortex
what makes up the primary olfactory cortex
hypothalamus
amygdala
hippocampus
thalamus
what is the function of the hypothalamus for the olfactory cortex
drive
what is the function of the amygdala for the olfactory cortex
emotional learning
what is the function of the hippocampus for the olfactory cortex
memory
what is the function of the thalamus for the olfactory cortex
relay station and coordination center
what does the thalamus project to to have perception of flavor function
to olfactory association cortex in insula near gustatory cortex
what happens in the 4th week for eye development
protrusion of optic vesicle from diencephalon
what happens in the 5th week for eye development
optic vesicle folds in to form double layer optic cup
ectoderm forms lens vesicle
what happens in the 6th week for eye development
optic cup inner layer = retina
optic cup external layer = retinal pigment epithelia
both layers grow ant to form ciliary body and iris
lens vesicle = form lens
ectoderm = cornea
what are the anatomic landmarks around the eye
ora serrata
limbus
what are the structures in external and internal layers of the eye
sclera and cornea- limbus
choroid capillaries: blood supply, absorb stray light
retina and ciliary bodies: ora serrata
what is the function of the ciliary body
lens accommodation and aqueous humor secretion
what is the function of the iris
adjust light pass through
where is the aqueous humor
anterior to the lens
what is aqueous humor
secreted by epithelia in ciliary body
drain into scleral venous sinus and then to venous drainage of the eye
what structure is impacted by glaucoma
increased secretion or blocked circulation of aqueous humor
where is vitreous humor
posterior to lens
what is vitreous humor
glass like humor in the eyeball
what increases intraorbital pressure to maintain eyeball shape
aqueous and vitreous humor
what structures helps the eye focus
cornea and lens by refraction of light by transparent structures
what is the shape and function of the cornea
convex anteriorly
maintain intraocular pressure
gross adjustment
what is the shape and function of the lens
biconvex
only anterior is adjusted
fine adjustments
how does the eye adjust to near sight
ciliary m contract lens
loosen zonular fibers
how does the eye adjust to far sight
ciliary m relax lens
tighten zonular fibers
