BIO252 EXAM 3 - CHAMBERLAIN
adaptation - ANSthe ability to no longer perceive sensations due to prolonged exposure
after the gustatory receptor cells send signals to the cranial nerves it will pass the signal to
the - ANSmedulla oblongata, thalamus, and parietal lobe
anterior chamber (cavity) of the eye - ANSaqueous humor
causes of vertigo - ANSstroke, encephalitis, and toxins or drugs like alcohol
ANSchemicals - chemoreceptors choroid - ANSbegins with the center of the optic nerve and
extends to the choroid
primarily composed of blood vessels and connective tissue ciliary body - ANSciliary
muscles, ciliary process, zonular fibers
ciliary muscles - ANSresponsible for changing the shape of the lens
ciliary process - ANSsecretes aqueous humor
complex tactile sensations - ANScombination of the previous nerve endings- gives surfaces
textures
cornea - ANSless strong but more transparent than the sclera allowing light to pass through
corpuscles for touch - ANSmeissner's corpuscle- light touch, low frequency vibration
ANSrotation is detected by semicircular canal cristae. dry maculae degeneration -
ANSdestruction without leaky vessels
encapsulated nerve endings - ANStouch, pressure, vibration
exteroceptors - ANSsensations from outside the body
fibrous tunic - ANSsclera and cornea
filiform papillae - ANScover the entire tongue surface, contain NO taste buds but rather
function to increase friction to move food and contain tactile receptors
foliate papillae - ANSlocated in the lateral trenches of the tongue and degenerate in early
childhood
free nerve endings - ANSpain, temperature changes, tickle, itch
free nerve endings—tactile (itch, tickle), nontactile (temperature change, pain), and ANSroot
hair plexuses—sense movement on the skin through hair movement fungiform papillae -
ANSscattered all over the tongue and contain about 5 taste buds each
general functions of the endocrine system - ANSmetabolism, growth, sleep, mood, tissue
function, reproduction, stress, fluid dynamics
gustatory receptor cells send the signal to - ANSfascial nerve (CN VII)- anterior 2/3 of
tongue, glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) posterior 1/3 of tongue and pharynx, and vagus
nerve (CN X) epiglottis
hormonal stimuli: Other hormones can either cause or prevent the release. humoral stimuli -
ANSchemicals control the trigger or inhibition of the release
hypothalamus connects to the pituitary via - ANSthe stalk of the infundibulum
hypothalamus is connected to the anterior pituitary by - ANSblood vessels
(adenohypophysis)
hypophyseal portal system
hypothalamus is connected to the posterior pituitary via - ANSnerves (neurohypohysis)
interoceptors - ANSsensations from inside the body
lamellated corpuscles - ANSpacinian corpuscle- vibration
