BIOL 373L STUDY SET || 100% Verified Answers.
Sensory cells correct answers respond to factors such as light pressure and the chemical nature of
certain molecules by creating electrical signals which are sent to the CNS
Visual acuity correct answers the degree of detail the eye can distinguish
myopia correct answers near lighted, light focuses in front of the retina, unable to see far, distant
objects are out of focus
hyperopia correct answers far sighted, hard to focus objects close to the eye
astigmatism correct answers the blurring or distortion of the visual image caused by a defective
curvature of the refractive surfaces of the eye
color blindness correct answers a diminished ability to sense color accurately
taste buds correct answers consist of barrel shaped groupings of sensory cells located on the
tongue and in the epithelial lining of the mouth
color blindness is caused by correct answers a deficiency in the retinas systems for converting
red blue of green light into receptor potentials
ichikawa color vision test correct answers measures the perception of color
tonic olfaction correct answers or slowly-adapting sensors produces a continuous sequence of AP
as long as the stimulus last
, Phasic olfaction correct answers or rapidly adapting receptors detect a stimulus of constant
strength, send a stream of AP of steadily decreasing frequency to the CNS
is the ear more efficient at detecting sound waves that are conducted through bone or air correct
answers air
Air conduction should be greater than bone conduction and so the patient should be able to hear
the tuning fork next to the pinna (outer ear) after they can no longer hear it when held against the
mastoid. during the RHinnes test
proprioceptors correct answers send sensory info to the brain regarding the tension of the skeletal
muscles and the positions of the limbs
the special senses are correct answers vision
taste
olfaction
hearing
equilibrium
reflex arc correct answers fundamental pathway linking sensory input and motor output
nerve cells in a monosynaptic reflex correct answers afferent (sensory) neuron
efferent (motor) neuron
cutaneous reflex- Babinski reflex correct answers elicited by stimulation of cutaneous receptors
in the sole of the foot, it is integrated not in the spinal cord, but in the brain
normal response causes flexion (down) of big toe while other toes flex and come together
pupillary light reflex correct answers reflex is consensual; the stimulus on one side produce a
response on both sides
