100

The mandibular condyle articulates with the temporal bone at this structure.

Mandibular fossa


100

The extrinsic eye muscles insert on this LAYER of the eye.

Fibrous Tunic


100

In this structure of the eye, there are no photoreceptors because the optic nerve must exit the eye.  

Optic Disc or Blind Spot

100

Autonomic centers that control blood pressure and heart rate are in this major brain region.

Medulla oblongata

100

Within the skin, these detect very fine touch with fine spatial resolution.

Spinothalamic Pathway

200

The temporalis muscle passes deep to this structure (made up of 2 bones).

Zygomatic arch


200

What raises her eyebrows?

Occipitofrontalis

200

These photoreceptors require abundant light to be stimulated, which allows them to be used only in light environments (daytime).

Cones


200

All sensory information from the body is routed to the Somatosensory Cortex, which is located on this. 

(Structure AND Lobe)

Postcentral Gyrus of Parietal Lobe


200

The term for a neuron crossing the midline of the body (as it would have to do in order to inform the contralateral cerebral hemisphere of sensory stimuli).

Decussation

300

The hard palate (roof of the mouth) is formed by these boneS.

Palatine and Maxilla bones


300

Name an extrinsic eye muscle used to look at the bridge of the nose.


Medial Rectus

(Inferior Rectus looks at the tip of the nose)

300

When sound waves bend these, the hair cells depolarize, release a neurotransmitter, and trigger an action potential.

Stereocilia


300

Within each brain ventricle, this filters the blood to generate new Cerebrospinal Fluid.

Choroid Plexus


300

Receptors that monitor the position of joints are collectively called this.

Proprioceptors


400

The ear canal passes through this structure.

External Acoustic (Auditory) Meatus


400

These muscles originate on the sphenoid bone and can move the mandible left and right.

Pterygoids


400

When this muscle contracts, it makes the lens thicker, which refracts/bends the light from a nearby object more.

Ciliary muscle/body


400

This primary brain vesicle is retained in the adult brain, and contains the thalamus.

Diencephalon


400

Within the skin, these detect very fine touch with fine spatial resolution.
