Q

which part of the brain would use info from the proprioceptors to coordinate muscle movements? (unconscious)

A

cerebellum

21
Q

what is found the lateral line of fishes but the inner ear of vertebrates? what is it used for

A

vertebrate hair cells - have 2 types of cilia for detection of movement often covered with a cupula

22
Q

what do lateral line organs inform animals of

A

moving objects or objects in its’ path

23
Q

in the vertebrate inner ear, what does the Vestibular apparatus contain. In what part of the labyrinth (upper or lower)

A

upper part of labyrinth

- contains saccule, utricle, and semicircular canals

24
Q

what does the labyrinth in the inner ear help, what does it consist of (structurally)

A

helps maintain equilibrium by fluid-filled chambers and canals

25
Q

Where are Otoliths located(2). What do they enable an animal to perceive and how?

A
  • in Saccule and Utricle
  • enable animal to perceive Direction of Gravity by changing position when head is tilted/when body is accelerating and stimulating hair cells that signal to the brain
26
Q

in the ear, what informs the brain about Turning movements and how

A 
Circular Canals (oriented in 3 planes)
- clumps of hair in each Ampullae (bulblike enlargements) are stimulated by movements of fluid that fills each canal
27
Q

(The path of sound)

Movements stimulate hair cells of the _____ by rubbing them against the overlying _____

A

Organ of Corti

- Tectorial membrane

28
Q

what is the difference/similarity between Olfaction (smell) and Gustation(taste) chemoreceptors?

A

> Olfaction - samples Small quantities of molecules Away from the source
Gustation - samples Large quantities of molecules Directly from the source
Both depend on a dissolved molecule fitting into a receptor on a cell

29
Q

what type of receptor use pigments to transduce light energy

A

photoreceptors

30
Q

what is the major photoreceptor Pigment in animals
