Q

Olfaction…

The nerves have receptors on their surfaces and chemicals bind to it; if the stimulus is large enough, what happens?

A

You get a big enough graded potential then you generate an action potential

Q

Do olfactory receptor cells have myelin? Why or why not?

A

No, because the myelin would be a barrier to binding to the odorant

20
Q

The odorants that get dissolved bind to proteins on the surfaces of what?

A

Olfactory cilia

21
Q

Circumvallate papillae have taste buds and the taste buds have taste pores that “open” to what?

A

The cleft in the papillae

22
Q

The taste pores allow material to access what?

A

Gustatory cells

23
Q

What kind of cells only live for about 10 days?

A

Gustatory cells

24
Q

The molecules get carried down into the cleft after they have been dissolved in what?

A

Saliva

25
Q

What are the 4 primary tastes? 2 “additional” taste sensations?

A

Sweet, salty, sour, bitter

Umami, Water

26
Q

The umami sensation has receptors primarily for what amino acid?

A

Glutamate

27
Q

The sensation for water is spread throughout what? What is it connected to?

A

Spread throughout the brain

Connected to the brain and water balance system

28
Q

What is the “spicy” sensation? Cranial nerves associated with it?

A

Pain signals carried by CN V3 and CN 9

29
Q

In the rostral 2/3 of the tongue, what is the CN for…
General sensation:
Special senses:

A

General: CN V3

Special (taste): CN 7

30
Q

What is the pupil?

A

The dark portion (hole) that allows light to enter

31
Q

What is the iris?

A

The colorful area surrounding the pupil

has pigmentation

32
Q

What is the sclera?

A

The white, dense fibrous connective tissue

maintains structure

33
Q

What overlies the pupil and the iris?

A

The cornea

34
Q

What is the lateral commissure/canthus?

A

The lateral “corner” of the eye

35
Q

What is the medial commissure/canthus?

A

The medial “corner” of the eye

36
Q

What is the name of the “bunk” in the medial aspect?

A

Lacrimal caruncle

37
Q

Only the dorsal lateral area of the eye contains what gland?

A

Lacrimal gland

38
Q

What comes off the lacrimal gland and into eyelid?

A

Lacrimal ducts

39
Q

What connects the nasolacrimal duct to the lacrimal caruncle?

A

Lacrimal canaliculi

40
Q

What is the name of the “holes” of the lacrimal canaliculi?

A

Lacrimal puncta

41
Q

Explain the pathway of tears.

A

Tears are created in lacrimal glands and are secreted through lacrimal ducts
Tears go onto dorsal lateral surface of the eye
When you blind, the tears are pushed across the eye into the lacrimal “lake”
Tears enter through lacrimal puncta, go into lacrimal canaliculi, and go into the nasolacrimal duct

42
Q

When you produce an excess of tears, the tears eventually get into your…

A

Nasal cavity

43
Q

What muscle relaxes when you blink then contacts when you lift your eyelid?
What cranial nerve?

A

levator palpebrae superioris

CN 3

44
Q

What extrinsic eye muscles does the (motor) Oculomotor nerve go to?

A

Superior rectus
Inferior rectus
Medial rectus
Inferior oblique

45
Q

What does the (parasympathetic preganglionic) Oculomotor nerve go to?
Where do they synapse?

A

Sphincter pupillae
Ciliaris muscle
Synapse in ciliary ganglion

46
Q

The oculomotor nerve also carries postganglionic sympathetic innervation to the eye, but where did the preganglionic sympathetic innervation come from? Where did it synapse?
Then where does it go?

A

the thorax to the sympathetic trunk (chain) up to the superior cervical ganglion where it synapses
Goes through the carotid canal to the oculomotor nerve and it carried to the eye

47
Q

Where is one of the places that the postganglionic SYMPATHETIC fibers go in the eye that is “opposite” of where the parasympathetic fibers go?

A

Pupillary dilator
