Q

what are the three sections of the ears

A

external, middle, internal ears.

24
Q

narrow chamber in the temporal bone. Lined with skin and ceruminous (earwax) glands. Ends at the tympanic membrane (eardrum).

A

external acoustic meatus

25
shell shaped structure surrounding the auditory canal opening.
auricle
26
An Air-filled, mucosa-lined cavity within the temporal bone.
middle ear cavity
27
Located between tympanic membrane and oval window and round window.
middle ear cavity
28
AUDITORY OSSICLES
malleaus incus stapes
29
Transmit vibrations from tympanic membrane to the fluids of the inner ear.
auditory ossicles
30
also called the hammer and is the largeest and most lateral of the bony chain. additionally, it is a club-shaped structure.
malleus
31
also called the anvil, wherein it transmits vibrations from the malleus to the stapes
incus
32
also called the stirrup, is the smallest bone in the human body
stapes
33
the three parts of the inner ear
cochlea, vestibular, semicircular canal.
34
a hollow, spiral-shaped bone found in the inner ear, where sound waves are transduced into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret as individual frequencies of sound.
cochlea
35
best described as the area of the inner ear between the tympanic cavity and posterior to the cochlea that controls equilibrium and balance
vestibule
36
three tiny, fluid-filled tubes in your inner ear that help you keep your balance.
semicircular canal
37
Vestibular apparatus has two functional parts
static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium
38
organs involved in smelling and tasting
nose and tongue
39
How do we Smell?
as vaporizer odor molecules come in contact with our olfactory epithelium, special receptor cells called olfactory receptors detect the odor and transmit the information to the olfactory bulbs which are located at the back of the nose .
40
the fice types of receptors of taste
sweet sour bitter salty umami
41
sensory organs that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. It houses the receptor organs of taste.
taste buds
42
The tissues and organs that produce, store, and carry white blood cells that fight infections and other diseases. It is also a Drainage System because it facilitates the return of the excess fluids from the cells back to the blood vessels.
the lymphatic system
43
main function of the lymphatic system is
to remove excess fluid in the body and carry it back to the bloodstream to help your body absorb fats and to protect your body against invaders
44
A thin tube that carries lymph (lymphatic fluid) and white blood cells through the lymphatic system. .
lymphatic vessels
45
Is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system
lymph
46
are small glands that filter lymphs through lymph vessels. They become swollen in response to infection and tumors
lymph nodes
47
the three compartments of the lymph nodes
cortex, medulla, and the macrophages
48
contains follicles—collections of lymphocytes. Germinal centers enlarge when antibodies are released by plasma cells
cortex
49
contains phagocytic macrophages
medulla
50
engulf and destroy bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances in lymph
macrophages
51
Locations of Lymph Nodes in the Body CSAMSMIF P
CSAMSMIF P Cervical Supraclavicular Axillary Mediastinal Supratrochlear Mesentric Inguinal Femoral Popliteal
52
Other Lymphoid Organs
Speen thymus tonsils peter's patches
53
It is a soft organ located on the left side of the abdominal cavity. It filters and cleanses blood of bacteria, viruses and other debris. Most important function is to destroy worn out RBC’s and return some of its breakdown products to the liver.
Spleen
54
a lymphoid mass found in the anterior mediastinum overlying the heart. is responsible for producing and maturing lymphocytes, or immune cells. these include T cells, a type of white blood cell that defends the body from infections.
THYMUS
55
Small masses of lymphoid tissue deep to the mucosa surrounding the throat. Its job is to trap and remove bacteria entering the throat.
Tonsils
56
Are found in the wall of the intestine. Captures and destroys bacteria.
