Summary in Senses

Question 1

_ is the system that provides information about the body senses,
including touch,
movement, pain, and temperature

Question 2

is the sensory system that provides information about the
position and movement of the head.

Question 3

is a structure in the inner ear vestibular system that provides
information about the angle of the head relative to the ground and
about linear acceleration.

Question 4

is one of the three looping chambers found in the inner ear that
provide information regarding the rotation of the head.

Question 5

__ and __ are the structures of the otolith organs.

Question 6

_ is the force perceived when our rate of movement changes

Question 7

is a stone made of calcium carbonate that is attached to the
hair cells in the otolith organs

Question 8

s the nucleus of the thalamus that receives information
regarding pain, touch, and the position and movement of the
head.

Question 9

is the cortex located in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe
that is responsible for the initial cortical processing of
somatosensory input.

Question 10

_ is hairless skin.

Question 11

is the outermost layer of the skin.

Question 12

s the layer of skin lying below the outermost epidermis.

Question 13

is the layer of tissue lying below the dermis

Question 14

is a skin receptor that senses touch, pressure, or vibration.

Question 15

is a mechanoreceptor in which the axon fibers are surrounded
by a fluid0filled capsule formed of connective tissue

Question 16

is an encapsulated, fast-adapting mechanoreceptor with small
receptive filed that responds primarily to pressure.

Question 17

is a nonencapsulated, slow-adapting mechanoreceptor with
large receptive field that provides information regarding stretch.

Question 18

is the area of the skin surface served by the dorsal roots of one
spinal segment.

Question 19

is the spinal pathway that carries information about touch and
position to the medulla.

Question 20

is a small, unmyelinated fiber that carries information about
temperature, itch m and dull, aching pain to the central nervous
system.

Question 21

are small fibers extending from taste receptors.

Question 22

_ are bumps on the tongue containing taste buds and taste
receptors.

Question 23

are areas in the parietal lobe adjacent to primary
somatosensory cortex that process a wide variety of complex
somatosensory inputs.

Question 24

is a nerve ending in the skin that responds to surface
temperature

Question 25

s a nerve ending in the skin that responds to heat.

Question 26

is a nerve ending in the skin that responds to cold.

Question 27

is a fiber pathway connecting the olfactory bulbs to the
olfactory cortex

Question 28

is the layer in the nasal cavity containing olfactory receptors.

Question 29

is the pathway originating in the dorsal column nuclei and
synapsing in the ventral posterior (VP) nucleus of the thalamus
that is responsible for carrying information about touch and
position.

Question 29

is the cortex in the frontal lobe that responds to the sense of
smell
