list 3 different kinds of cells of the olfactory epithelium
- olfactory receptor cells
- supporting cells
- basal cells
olfactory receptor cells information
- cells respond to the chemical stimulation of an ordorant molecule by producing a receptor potential, thus initiating an olfactory response
supporting cells information
- provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation for the olfactory receptor cells and help detoxify receptor cells and help detoxify chemicals that come in contact with the olfactory epithelium
basal cell information
- continually undergo cell division to produce new olfactory receptor cells
for smell in the orbitaofrontal cortex in frontal lobe allows for:
1) order identification
1) odor discrimination
list the 5 primary tastes
- salty
- sour
- sweet
- bitter
- umami
what cranial nn innervates the ant 2/3 of the tongue
facial
what cranial nn innervates the post 1/3 of the tongue
glossopharyngeal
list the 6 intrinsic mm of the eye and what cranial nn innervates them
1) superior rectus
2) inferior rectus
3) medial rectus
4) inferior oblique
(these 4 are innervated by oculomotor (III))
5) superior oblique (IV trochlear)
6) lateral rectus (VI abducens)
what is the coloured part of the eye called ____ and how is it shaped?
iris. shaped like a flattened donut
if your iris is brown it contains large amounts of:
melanin
your ___ is the hole in the centre of the iris. it regulated the amount of _____ entering the eyeball
pupil
light
what is the beginning of the visual pathway?
retina
what nn is visible when looking at the retina through the ophthalmoscope?
optic (II)
when optic nn exits the eyeball it is called the optic disc, which is know as the:
blind spot
the retina contains sensors (photoreceptors) known as ___ and _____
rods and cones
what is the difference between rods and cones?
rods to see dim light
cones to produce color -3 types: blue, green & red
can we see imaged that strike the blind spot? why?
no. there are no rods or cones
what is the blind spot known as
optic disc
an example of convergence would be:
tracking a pencil moving toward your eyes
______ is known as sharpness of your vision
resolution
_____ is the area of highest acuity
fovea centralis
in the neural pathway.. at what point do the optic nerves cross over?
at the optic chasm
the visual field gives us ______ vision
binocular
