Taste & Smell
100
the six muscles attached to the outer surface of the eye and produce gross eye movement
What are the extrinsic eye muscles?
100
the part of the internal anatomy of the eye focuses the light on to the retina
What is the lens?
100
receptors of the ear fall into this category of receptors
What are mechanoreceptors?
100
sound waves vibrate this membrane, which pushes on the ossicles
What is the tympanic membrane?
100
receptor cells for smell
What are the olfactory receptor cells?
200
two layers of smooth muscle form this part of the eye which acts like the diaphragm of a camera
What is the iris?
200
rods and cones - receptors that respond to light
What are photoreceptors?
200
though the function is lost in humans, this structure surrounds the auditory canal opening
What is the pinna/auricle?
200
these are the hearing receptors
What are hair cells?
200
receptor cells for taste
What are gustatory cells?
300
the gel-like substance that reinforces the eyeball and prevents it from collapsing inward
What is vitreous humor?
300
impulses from the photoreceptors pass from the bipolar cells to these cells
What are ganglion cells?
300
the malleus, incus, and stapes - the bones of the ear
What are the ossicles?
300
part of the brain the cochlear nerve terminates in
What is the auditory complex?
300
receptor cells for taste and smell are of this type
What are chemoreceptors?
400
the blind-spot where no photoreceptor cells are present is located at this spot in the eye
What is the optic disk?
400
reports on the position of the head with respect to the pull of gravity when the body is not moving
What is static equilibrium?
400
hair cells transmit impulses along this to the brain
What is the cochlear nerve?
400
there are three types of these, which are where the taste buds are located
What are papillae?
500
protective reflex that prevents excessively bright light from damaging the delicate photoreceptors of the eye
What is the photopupillary reflex?
500
the overlapping of the two visual fields that provides for depth perception results in this
What is binocular vision?
500
found in the semicircular canals, this responds to angular or rotatory movements of the head
What is dynamic equilibrium?
500
this membrane overlies the hair cells in the organ of Corti
What is the tectorial membrane?
500
impulses are transmitted along these, which collectively make up the olfactory nerve
What are olfactory filaments?
