100
Which two eye muscles are NOT controlled by the oculomotor nerve?
superior oblique(trochlear)

lateral rectus(abducens)

100
What 2 senses are housed in the ear?
hearing and equilibrium
100
What is the area of the retina that contains only cones?
fovea centralis-responds best in bright light 
200
Where are the taste buds located?
tongue, soft palate, cheeks
200
What are the three types of receptors for touch?
Temperature-Thermoreceptors(heat)

Pressure-Mechanoreceptors(movement)

Pain(nociceptor)-mechanoreceptors 

200
What is the function of the conjunctiva?
connects to the surface of the eye-forms a seal, secretes mucus to lubricate the eye 
200
What are the 3 areas of the ear?
outer, middle, inner


200
What are the functions and structure of aqueous and vitreous humor?
aqueous-watery fluid found in chamber between the lens and cornea, similar to blood plasma. Helps maintain intraocular pressure and provides nutrients for the lens and cornea 

vitrious-gel-like substance behind the lens that keeps the eye from collapsing

300
Which structures have hairs(long microvilli) and are the receptors for taste buds?
gustatory cells
300
When are special senses formed?
early in embryonic development


300
What are the 3 tunics of the eye?
fibrous-outside layer

choroid-middle layer

sensory-inside layer

300

pinna, external auditory canal 
300
What fills the inner ear or bony labyrinth of the ear?
perilymph 
400
What are the 5 taste sensations?
sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami 
400
Where are olfactory receptors located?
roof in the nasal cavity 
400
What does the retina contain?
receptor cells-rods and cones
400
What are the 2 types of equilibrium and where are they located?
static-in the vestibule

dynamic-in the semicircular canals 

400
What is the function of proprioceptors in the ear?
control balance; sense stretch in muscles and tendons 
500
What type of sense is taste?
Chemical sense 
500
_____ must be dissolved in mucus for detection

chemicals


500
What are the functions of the rods/cones?
rods-allow dim light vision and peripheral vision(more sensitive to light, do not respond in bright light)
cones-allow for detailed color vision 
500
What can you find in the cochlea for hearing?
the organ of corti 
500
What is the whole structure that controls dynamic equilibrium?
ampulla
