Q

name + define: types of sensors (5)

A
  1. mechanoreceptors: compression, bending, stretching of cells
    ⤷ change shape of receptor to trigger mvt. of ions
    ⤷ for touch, psi, proprioception, hearing

Q

explain: role of mucus in olfaction (no mucus? too much mucus?)

Q

explain: tunics of the eye (3)

A
  1. fibrous tunic (white part)
    - sclera = for shape, protection, attachment of musc.
    ⤷ provides shape + protection
  2. vascular tissue
    - choroid = blood supply + absorbs scattered light
    - anterior = ciliary body and iris
    ⤷ ciliary body = secretes aq. humor and changes shape of lens
    ⤷ iris = controls amount go light entering
  3. retina

    - has photoreceptor cells
    ⤷ 120M rods, 6 - 7M cones
    - gets light and converts it to receptor potentials and nerve impuses

  • lens = refracts light
  • anterior cavity = holds aq. humor (supplies nutrients + holds shape)
  • vitreous humor = holds vitreous body

20
Q

explain: vascular tunic + effect on lens

A
  • outer musc. = radially
  • inner musc. = circularly
  • rest = suspensory ligaments pulled tight
    ⤷ pulls on lens making it flatter
  • circular musc. contract = smaller diameter -> less tension on suspensory ligaments
    ⤷ lens less flat, more sphere
21
Q

explain: iris and lens in dilation/constriction

A
  • bright light = pupil constricts w/ sphincter pupillae (circular musc.)
    ⤷ iris contract = parasympathetic
  • dim light = pupil dilates w/ dilator pupillae (radial musc.)
    ⤷ iris contract = sympathetic
22

explain: ways to bring an image to focus (3)

A
  1. accomodation
    - ciliary musc. contract = more sphere = more refraction = more in focus
  2. pupil constriction
    - small pupil diameter = more in focus
  3. convergence

  • inner = detect sounds
  • outer = regulate tension of basilar membrane
28
Q

explain: inner hair cells

A
  • have bundles of microvilli at apex = stereocilia
  • tip-link = connects tip of each stereocilium to side of next longest stereocilium
  • moving the stereocilium -> opening gates causing depol.
29
Q

explain: process of depol. w/ inner hair cells

A
  • unstimulated = spring gate relaxed
  • stereocilia bend towards taller ones -> spring gate stretching
  • K+ opens -> K+ enters cells causing depol.
30
Q

explain: route of a wave through ear

A
  1. waves enter external auditory canal and strick tympanic mem. -> vibrations
  2. vibrations move to middle ear
  3. footplate of stapes vib. oval window
    ⤷ causes perilymph in scala vestibula to vib.
  4. vib of perilymph -> vib. of vestibular membrane -> vib. in endolymph -> displacement of basilar membrane -> mvt. of basilar membrane detected by hair cells
  5. vib. of perilymph in scala vestibuli and vib. of tympanic mem. = transferred to perilymph of scala tympani
  6. vib in perilymph of scala timpani = transferred to round window
31
Q

explain: neuronal pathways for hearing

A
  • hair cells depol. sends neurotransmitters to cochlear nerve
  • travels to cochlear nuclei
    ⤷ controls pitch perception
    ⤷ sends sig. to basilar mem. to dampen loud noises

  • goes to medial geniculate nucleus in thalamus
  • goes to primary auditory cortex (conscious perception of sound)
32
Q

explain: static equil. (static labyrinth)

A
  • macula of utricle and saccule

STATIC LABYRINTH
- hair cells stim. by otoliths
- otoliths move in resp. to gravity -> changes pattern of action potential

- subconcious perception = subtle changes to back + neck musc.
- restores head to neutral position
- otolithic mem. = gelatinous mem. to hold hairs in place

33
Q

explain: dynamic equil.
