Q

What are the two types of photoreceptors and their functions?

Vision and the Eye

A

The more numerous cells are rods which are stimulated in dim light. Rods are more sensitive to light but do not generate sharp or color images. The cones operate in bright light helping to generate sharp color images.

Q

What is a cataract?

Vision and the Eye

A

Cataracts are lenses that slowly become hardened and cloudy over time.

16
Q

What does diplopia mean?

Vision and the Eye

A

Double vision

17
Q

What is the purpose of the auricle?

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

The auricle (Figure 1) is shaped to funnel sound waves into the external acoustic canal so that sounds can be detected.

18
Q

What is the purpose of cerumen?

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

Earwax which serves to trap foreign materials.

19
Q

The inner end of the external acoustic meatus terminates at the _____.

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

Tympanic membrane

20
Q

The semicircular canals contribute in this way to the body’s_____ sense.

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

Vestibular sense

20
Q

What bone touches the inner ear to transmit vibrations?

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

Stapes

20
Q

The ____ is the sense organ for the auditory system.

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

Organ of Corti

21
Q

What is unique about the way the auditory pathway travels to the brain?

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

The auditory pathway is a unique sensory pathway because the ascending pathways cross in addition to sending signals to the same side of the brain. The result is that sounds from each ear are equally interpreted on the left and right sides of the brain

21
Q

The movement of the stereocilia stimulates the neurons to send impulses through the _____ nerve to the _____ lobe of the brain.

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

Cochlear nerve; temporal lobe.

22
Q

What is the difference between nerve deafness vs. conduction deafness?

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

Conduction deafness occurs from damage to the outer or middle ear structures. Nerve deafness occurs from damage to the nerve pathway.

23
Q

Review all figures in the auditory and vestibular systems.

The Auditory and the Vestibular Systems

A

See figures in module.

24
Q

Olfactory nerves contain what type of receptor cells?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

Bipolar receptor cells

25
Q

The olfactory nerves travel through what bone?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

Ethmoid (cribriform plate)

26
Q

What is the order of the olfactory nerve pathway?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

Olfactory nerves → olfactory bulbs → olfactory tracts→ temporal lobes

27
Q

What is smell?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

Smell is defined as a combination of a limited number of primary odors that are detectable by the brain.

28
Q

Label all olfactory landmarks.

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

See figure in module

29
Q

What is the anatomical word for taste?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

Gustation (gustatory system

30
Q

What is a bolus?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

A compact mass of food, prepared by the tongue and teeth.

31
Q

True or false: The apex of the tongue is located on the anterior aspect of the mouth.

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

True

32
Q

What type of papillae contain taste buds?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

Circumvallate and fungiform papillae both contain taste buds

33
Q

True or false: Gustatory cells are the chemoreceptors of the taste buds.

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

True

34
Q

What is the purpose of basal cells?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

Basal cells serve as stem cells, which divide and differentiate into new supporting cells which then form new gustatory cells.

35
Q

What is anosmia?

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

The loss of smell

35
Q

True or false: The taste pathway sends signals via only one cranial nerve to the brain.

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A

False (two nerves- facial and glossopharyngeal)

36
Q

Review all figures of the gustatory system.

Olfactory and Gustatory Systems

A
