Question 36

Physiology - How each sense operates: Vision

Answer 36

-pigments react to light source -initiate control over 2nd messenger system

Question 37

Physiology - How each sense operates: Hearing

Answer 37

Hair cells are stimulated when sound waves or head movement cause disruption of fluid and then hair cells that are connected to gates send signals to associated nerves

Question 38

Physiology - How each sense operates: Equilibrium

Answer 38

Hair cells are stimulated when sound waves or head movement cause disruption of fluid and then hair cells that are connected to gates send signals to associated nerves

Question 39

Physiology - How each sense operates: Olfaction

Answer 39

Chemical dissolved stimulates receptors, channels open, receptor, action potential is 2nd messenger system

Question 40

Physiology - How each sense operates: Gustation

Answer 40

chemical binds to receptor and elicits a graded potential that causes neurotransmitter release will cause an action potential to send to the parietal lobe
