31
Q

Cranial Nerve carrying sensory information:
Vision

A

optic nerve

32
Q

Cranial Nerve carrying sensory information:
Hearing

A

vestibulocochlear

33
Q

Cranial Nerve carrying sensory information:
Equilibrium

A

Vestibulocochlear

34
Q

Cranial Nerve carrying sensory information:
Olfaction

35
Q

Cranial Nerve carrying sensory information:
Gustation

A

Facial and Glossopharyngeal

36
Q

Physiology - How each sense operates:
Vision

A

-pigments react to light source
-initiate control over 2nd messenger system

37
Q

Physiology - How each sense operates:
Hearing

A

Hair cells are stimulated when sound waves or head movement cause disruption of fluid and then hair cells that are connected to gates send signals to associated nerves

38
Q

Physiology - How each sense operates:
Equilibrium

A

Hair cells are stimulated when sound waves or head movement cause disruption of fluid and then hair cells that are connected to gates send signals to associated nerves

39
Q

Physiology - How each sense operates:
Olfaction

A

Chemical dissolved stimulates receptors, channels open, receptor, action potential is 2nd messenger system

40
Q

Physiology - How each sense operates:
Gustation

A

chemical binds to receptor and elicits a graded potential that causes neurotransmitter release will cause an action potential to send to the parietal lobe

41
Q

Diseases or disorders:
Vision

A
  • Right eye blind
  • tunnel vision (temporal hemifield)
  • Left hemifield blind
42
Q

Diseases or disorders:
Hearing

A
  • conduction of deafness
  • sensorneural deafness
  • tinnitus
  • meniere’s disease
43
Q

Diseases or disorders:
Equilibrium

A
  • optokinetic nystagmus
  • motion sicknus
