A

sensory receptors

18
Q
  • are means by which brain receives information about the environment and the body.
A

SENSES

18
Q
  • the process initiated by stimulating sensory receptors and perception.
A

SENSATION

18
Q

have receptors distributed over a large part of the body.
divided into two groups;

A

THE GENERAL SENSES
SOMATIC SENSES and VISCERAL SENSES

18
Q

provide sensory information about the body (skin, muscle, bone, joints) and the environment.

A

SOMATIC SENSES:

18
Q

provide information about various internal organs (heart, lungs, stomach bladder), primarily involving pain and pressure.

A

VISCERAL SENSES:

18
Q

referred to as “gut brain” due to it’s ability to
function independently of the CNS

walls of gastrointestinal tract

A

ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Reflexes that stimulate the skeletal muscles

A

Somatic reflexes

24
Q

Involuntary, although skeletal mmuscle is normally under voluntary control

A

Somatic reflexes

25
Q

Example: pulling your hand away from a hot object.

A

Somatic reflexes

25
Q

Regulate the activity of smooth muscles, the heart, and glands.


A

Autonomic reflexes

26

Example: regulation of smooth smucles, heart and blood pressure, glands, digestive system.

A

Autonomic reflexes

26
Q

Attached to the outside of the eyeball and enable the eyes to move in all directions of sight.

A

Extrinsic muscles of the eye

27
Q
  • Six extraocular eye muscles and one muscle that controls movement in the upper eyelid.
A

Extrinsic muscles of the eye
Superior rectus - upward movement
Inferior rectus downward movement
Lateral rectus - outward movement
Medial rectus - inward movement
Superior oblique - downward and outward
Inferior oblique - upward and outward

27
Q

Are protection against invasion of microorganisms into the eye.
Screening out damaging ultraviolet
(UV) wavelength in sunlight.

A

Cornea

27
Q
  • It helps maintain your eyeball’s shape, and protects it from injury.
A

Sclera

27
Q

It is covered by conjunctiva, which are clear mucus membranes that lubricate (moisturize) your eye.

A

Sclera

28
Q

Thin brown tissue
Provides nutrients and oxygen to the retina.

A

Choroid

28
Q

Thick tissue inside the eye composed of ciliary processes and muscles
Continuous with the choroid behind and the iris in front

A

Ciliary body

28
Q
  • Colored portion of the eye positioned between the cornea and the lens
A

Iris

29
Q

It converts light that enters into your eye into electrical signals your optic nerve sends to your brain which creates the images you see.

A

Retina

29
Q

Thin, semitransparent, multilayered sheet of neural tissue.

A

Retina

30
Q

Two parts of RETINA

A

Macula retina
Peripheral retina

31
Q

(the center of your retina and processes most of what you’re directly looking at)


A

Macula retina

31
Q

(anything you can see that’s not directly in front of where you’re looking.)

A

Peripheral retina

31
Q
