Q

Paths to sensory cortical regions (3):

A
  1. olfactory pathways from the nose project through the olfactory bulb to the olfactory complex
  2. most sensory pathways project to the thalamus. The thalamus modifies and relays info to cortical centers

48
Q

Meissner’s corpuscle

A
  1. allow fine touch - laminated
  2. dense in fingertips, eyelids, soles of feet, genitalia, and nipples
  3. respond to flutter & stroking movement

rapidly adapting (stop sensing) - detect light pressure - found just under epidermis

49
Q

Pacinian corpuscle

A
  1. deep touch - laminated
  2. sense vibrations
  3. common in fingertips, genitalia, and periosteum
  4. lamination prevents stimulation except for direct contact

rapidly adapting - detect deep pressure - found in subQ

50
Q

Merkel’s cells

A

-sense steady pressure and texture

slowly adapting (continuously sense) - detect light pressure - found just under epidermis

51
Q

Ruffinis endings

A
  • detect skin stretch

slowly adapting - detect deep pressure - found in dermis

52
Q

Examples of free-nerve endings

A
  1. hair follicle receptors
  2. thermoreceptors
  3. nociceptors
53
Q

Hair follicle receptors

A

sense wind blowing by hair follicle base vibrations - senses hair movement

54
Q

What responds to noxious stimuli?

A

free-nerve endings of nociceptors

55
Q

What do thermoreceptors respond to?

A

changes in temperature

56
Q

What are two foods/flavors that trigger thermoreceptors?

A

menthol & capsaicin

57
Q

Why does spicy food burn going in and out?

A

2 types of nociceptors somatic (causes anus to burn from feces and on tongue and pharynx as thermo and nocio triggered) and visceral (intestines) - in your intestines there are physiological responses but don’t notice it … such as digestion speeds up, immune responses, can reduce inflammation

58
Q

What animal is immune to the spice of capsaicin and why?

A

birds - they don’t have nociceptors in their mouths - encourages seed dispersal

59
Q

Two factors of proprioception:

A

muscle spindles & golgi tendon organ

60
Q

How do muscle spindles aid in proprioception?

A
  1. detect stretch of muscle
  2. considers speed of stretch
61
Q

How do golgi tendon organs aid in proprioception?

A
  1. detect tendon stretch
  2. monitor tension
62
Q

Who has lateral lines?

A
  1. agnathans
  2. condricthyes
  3. actinopterygians
63
Q

What do lateral lines do?

A
  1. give fish sense of touch or movement in the water
  2. “distant touch”
64
Q

How do lateral lines work?

A

openings in scales go into lateral lines - vibration of water sends it into lateral line - neuromasts detect water vibrations - within neuromasts there are multiple hair cells with cilia projections and a cupula (gelatinous) cap that moves over cilia - all this triggers afferent neurons

65
Q

What are the two types of cilia projections in neuromasts? And what is their composition?

A
  1. stereocilia (short)
  2. kinocilium (long)
    - 9+2 microtubule structure
66
Q

What can fish determine with their lateral lines and how?

A
  • which way the water is moving
  • constant action potential = no movement/vibrations
  • increase AP firing - movement from one direction
  • decrease AP firing - movement from opposite direction
67
Q

What is this and identify its parts?

A

Neuromast
a- cupula
b- kinocilium
c- stereocilia
d- hair cell
e- sustentacular cell
f- afferent lateralis neuron
g- efferent lateralis neuron

68
Q

Why is electroreception important and what is it?

A

water conducts electricity - fish can detect electrical activity (heart always beating even if not moving) to find food/hunting

69
Q

Who has electroreception?

A
  1. agnathans
  2. condricthyes
  3. actinopterygians
  4. platypus
70
Q

A

electrocardiomyopathy

72
Q

Q

What are the 4 functions of hearing in the auditory system?

  2. linear acceleration & deceleration
75
Q

Wavelength

A

length from wave to wave part per time

76
Q

Frequency

A

how frequent from peak to peak (increase freq. = high pitch; decrease freq. = low pitch)

77
Q

Amplitude

A

how high peaks go relative to the trough (high amp. = loud; low amp. = quiet)

78
Q

What are the three major parts of the ear anatomy?

A
  1. external ear (pinna)
  2. middle ear (ear drum & ossicles)
  3. internal ear (vestibule & cochlea)
79
Q

What does ear wax (cerumen) do for the ear?

A

prevents bacterial growth

80
Q

Why do ears pop?

A

difference in external ear pressure & eustachian tube - as we increase external canal pressure the middle ear still has previous pressure - popping equalizes this pressure

81
Q

What are the three ossicles of the middle ear?

A

malleus, incus, stapes

82
Q

What are the two muscles of the middle ear?

A

tensor tympanii, stapedius

83
Q

What are the function of ear ossicles?

A
  1. transmit sound to oval window
