What are the two functions of the ear?
What is hearing and equilibrium
100
Olfactory receptor cells have this specific structure to help them gather chemical molecules
What is cilia!
100
This is required so that the chemoreceptors located in taste buds can actually help you taste your food.
What is saliva
200
This structure helps to bend light and aids the lens
What is cornea
200
These touch receptors sense light pressure
What is Meissner's corpuscles
200
This is structure of the external ear that sound waves need to enter into to reach the tympanic membrane
What is acoustic meatus
200
What class of receptors do olfactory cells belong to?
What is chemoreceptors
200
These are the five taste sensations
What is umami/savory, sweet, bitter, sour, salty
300
These photoreceptors do best in dim light. There are more of them in the eye.

These are the two groups of temperature sensors. Provide the temperature ranges for them.
What is warm and cold. 77-113 degrees F. 68 degrees for cold.
300
How does the tympanic membrane work?
What is vibrates with different pressures exerted by sound waves.
300
Why does gustation and olfaction go hand-in-hand?
What is saliva helps to break food down and allows it to be smelled.
300
These are two types of papillae
What is fungiform, filiform, vallate, and foliate
400
These photoreceptors help you see color
What is cones

Which of the somatic receptors has very little adaptation?
What is pain receptors
400
What are the three ossicles in order from the connection of the tympanic membrane to the oval window?
What is malleus, incus, stapes OR hammer, anvil, and stirrup
400

500
Where is the olfactory area located in humans?
What is the upper/inner part of the nose
500

What is become fewer because rate of renewal declines.
