What are mechanoreceptors?
The receptor type for the sense of audition/hearing?
What are mechanoreceptors?
The primary organ of vision
What are the eyes?
This fluid helps to dissolved chemicals in food and assists in regulating the ion environment in the mouth
What is saliva?
The receptor type that collect olfactory/smell information
What are chemoreceptors?
These tubes of fluid in the inner ear detect head movements and therefore regulate equilibrium
What are the semicircular canals?
These are the names of the three middle ear bones
What are the malleus, incus, and stapes?
What are photoreceptors?
This is the otolithic organ that communicates with the cochlea
What is the saccule?
The name for the watery fluid in front of the lens of the eye
What is the aqueous humor?
Olfactory epithelium is this specific type of tissue
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelium?
The place in the brain where the optic nerves physically cross to the other side of the brain
What is the optic chiasma?
The olfactory sensory neurons/receptors utilize these structures to better collect odor molecules
What are cilia?
The part of the inner ear that converts vibrations into electrochemical signals
What is the organ of corti?
The layer of the retina that contains photoreceptors
What is the neural layer?
