Senses

Question 1

Examples of Autonomic Reflux

Answer 1

pupil constrics on both sides even if light is only shined in one eye

Question 2

Exteroceptors

Answer 2

Detect stimuli from outside the body

Question 3

Interoceptors

Answer 3

Detect stimuli from inside the body

Question 4

Proprioceptors

Answer 4

Detect changes in stretch in joint tissues

This is what allows you to touch your nose with your eyes closed

Question 5

Mechanoreceptors

Answer 5

Respond to touch, pressure, vibration, itch, and are also involved with hearing and equilibrium

Question 6

Thermoreceptors

Answer 6

Respond to change in temperature

Question 7

Photoreceptors

Answer 7

Respond to light stimuli

Question 8

Chemoreceptors

Answer 8

Respond to blood chemistry changes

Question 9

Nocireceptors

Answer 9

Respond to painful stimuli

Question 10

Adaptation in Sensory Receptors

Answer 10

Decreased sensitivity to constant stimulus

Not noticing a smell after prolonged exposure

Question 11

Types of Sensory Receptors

Answer 11

Nocireceptors
Chemoreceptors
Mechanoreceptors
Photoreceptors
Thermoreceptors
Proprioceptors
Interoceptors
Exteroceptors

Question 12

Sensation

Answer 12

Awareness of a change in external environment

Question 13

Perception

Answer 13

Conscious interpretation of stimuli

Question 14

Layers of the retina

Answer 14

Pigmented Layer

Neural Layer

Question 15

Pigmented Layer of Retina

Answer 15

Absorbs light, prevents it from scattering

Question 16

Neural Layer of Retina

Answer 16

Photoreceptors here transduce light to nerve signal

Question 17

Function of Rods

Answer 17

Activated by dim light

Provide low acuity, non-color periphreal vision

Question 18

Function of Cones

Answer 18

Activated by bright light

Provide high acuity color vision

Question 19

Pathway of light into eye

Answer 19

Enters Cornea
Aqueous Humor
Lens
Vitreous Humor
Neural Layer of Retina
Photoreceptors

Question 20

Where is light refracted

Answer 20

At Cornea and entering and leaving Lens

Question 21

Function of Cochlea

Answer 21

Transduction of soundwaves to sensory signals

Question 22

Function of semicircular canals

Answer 22

Involved with dynamic equilibrium (Specifically angular acceleration)

Question 23

Function of Vestibule(utricle and saccule)

Answer 23

Detect static equilibrium and linear acceleration

Question 24

Receptors for hearing and equilibrium

Answer 24

Hair cells –> Mechanoreceptors
