100
This controls the amount of light that enters the eye.
What is the pupil?
100
The cochlea contains these types of receptors.
What are mechanoreceptors?
100
These 2 major structures sense information about balance and equilibrium.
What are the vestibule and semicircular canals?
100
This forms the "white: of the eye.
What is the sclera?
100
These receptors are involved in the perception of light.
What are photoreceptors?
200
This is the layer of the eye that contains the receptors for light.
What is the retina?
200
The receptors for both hearing and balance are found in this section of the ear.
What is the inner ear?
200
Static equilibrium is sensed here.
What is the vestibule?
200
These function in low light.
What are rods?
200
These receptors take in information about taste and smell.
What are chemoreceptors?
300
These receptors are concentrated in the fovea centralis/macula lutua of the eye.
What are cones?
300
This is the order of the ossicles, beginning at the tympanic membrane.
What is the malleus, incus, and stapes?
300
Dynamic equilibrium is sensed here.
What are the semicircular canals or crista ampullaris?
300
This tube connects the middle ear to the throat.
What is the auditory or Eustachian or pharyngotympanic tube?
300
These muscles do this when doing close-up work.
What is the contraction of ciliary muscles?
400
This muscle controls the shape of the lens.
What is the ciliary muscle/body?
400
This organ (within the cochlea) contains the hair cells that sense sound.
What is the Organ of Corti?
400
A change in static position is sensed when these structures shift.
What are otoliths?
400
This gel maintains the spherical shape of the eye.
What is the vitreous humor?
400
These glands are found on the superior, lateral aspect of the eye.
What are the lacrimal glands?
500
"Nearsightedness" is also called this.
What is myopia?
500
These type of sound waves will produce a loud sound.
What is high amplitude?
500
Equilibrium may be effected by a problem in this section of the ear.
What is the inner ear?
500
Wax build up here can decrease hearing.
What is the external auditory canal?
500
This fluid must be present in order for the hair cells of the ear to move.
What is endolymph?
