What are the two steps of focusing?
|
We focus images on the retina by changing the shape of the lens to keep focal length constant. (accomodation)
Crystallins are responsible for the focusing power of the lens. 1. Light rays from a source are refracted when they reach the lens of the eye. 2. The rays are then focused onto a single point |

Parts and steps involved in olfaction...(smell)
|
When you inhale, the air swirls within your nasal cavity to the olfactory epehelium. When the axons leave it, 20 bundles penetrate the cribriform plate of the ethmoid to reach the olfactory bulbs or cerebrum (synapse). Then travel along the olf tract to the olf cortex, the hypothalamus and portions of the limbic system.

Parts and steps involved in balance...
|
balance: Equilibrium sensations are provided by receptors of the vestibular complex - hair cells, which provide information about the direction and strength of mechanical stimuli.• The vestibular receptors activate sensory neurons of the vestibular ganglia. The axons form the vestibular branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII), synapsing within the vestibular nuclei. • The reflexive motor commands issued by the vestibular nuclei are distributed to the motor nuclei for cranial nerves involved with eye, head, and neck movements

Parts and steps involved in hearing...
|
The receptors of the cochlear duct provide a sense of hearing that enables us to detect the quietest whisper, yet remain functional in a noisy room.
•Step 1: Sound waves arrive at the tympanic membrane. The orientation of the canal provides some directional sensitivity. • Step 2: Movement of the tympanic membrane causes displacement of the auditory ossicles. When the tympanic membrane vibrates, so do the malleus and, through their articulations, the incus and stapes. In this way, sound is amplified. Step 3: Movement of the stapes at the oval window establishes pressure waves in the perilymph of the vestibular duct. •Step 4: The pressure waves distort the basilar membrane on their way to the round window of the tympanic duct. The location of maximum distortion varies with the frequency of the sound. Information about frequency is translated into information about position along the basilar membrane. •Step 5: Vibration of the basilar membrane causes vibration of hair cells against the tectorial membrane. This movement leads to the displacement of the stereocilia, which in turn opens ion channels in the hair cell membranes. The resulting inrush of ions depolarizes the hair cells, leading to the release of neurotransmitters and thus to the stimulation of sensory neurons. The number of hair cells responding in a given region of the organ of Corti provides information on the intensity of the sound. •Step 6: Information about the region and intensity of stimulation is relayed to the CNS over the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII). The sensory neurons are located in the spiral ganglion of the cochlea. From there, the information is carried by the cochlear branch of cranial nerve VIII to the cochlear nuclei of the medulla oblongata for subsequent distribution to other centers in the brain. |

Passage of blood through the heart
|
Superior and inferior vena cava carry oxygen poor blood to the right atrium.
Right atrium sends blood through the atriventricular or tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. Right ventricle sends blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary trunk that divide into the pulmonary arteries to carry blood to the lungs. Four pulmonary veins carry oxygen rich blood to the left atrium. Left atrium sends blood through the atrioventricular valve or bicuspid valve to the left ventricle. Left ventricle sends blood through the aortic semilunar valve into the aorta and out to the body. |

fx: estrogen
|
Stimulating bone and muscle growth
• Maintaining female secondary sex characteristics such as body hair and adipose tissue distribution • Affects CNS activity (increases sexual drive) • Maintaining functional accessory reproductive glands and organs • Initiating repair and growth of the endometrium High levels of estrogen stimulate LH secretion, increase pituitary sensitivity to GnRH and increase the GnRH pulse frequency. Surge in LH concentration triggers: • Completion of meiosis I by the primary oocyte • Rupture of the follicular wall • Ovulation |

Differences b/ween mitosis and meiosis
|
1. meiosis two divisions to produce four cells
mitosis has 1 division to produce two cells 2. meiosis produces haploid cells – cells that contain only one pair of chromosomes mitosis produces diploid cells – cells that contain both pairs of chromosomes 3. In meiosis DNA replication only occurs once 4. Meiosis allows for genetic variation Mitosis produces cells with an exact copy of the original DNA |

Steps in ovarian cycle
|
The ovarian cycle is divided into a follicular (preovulatory) phase
and a luteal (posovulatory) phase. Steps: 1. Formation of primary follicles 2. Formation of secondary follicles 3. Formation of a tertiary follicle 4. Ovulation - a secondary oocyte and the surrounding follicular cells of the corona radiata are released through the ruptured ovarian wall 5. Formation and degeneration of the corpus luteum The follicular cells remaining within the ovary form the corpus luteum, which later degenerates into a corpus albicans of scar tissue. |

characteristics of the 3 phases of the uterine cycle
|
Three phases: menses, proliferative phase, secretory phase
Menses – degeneration of the functional zone Menstruation – endometrial sloughing, usually lasts 1 to 7 days Dysmenorhea – painful menstruation Proliferative phase - the functional zone undergoes repair and thickens. Secretory phase – endometrial glands enlarge and accelerate their rates of secretion Menstrual activity begins at menarche (- first menstrual period) and continues until menopause (- last menstrual period) |

What is going on during each trimester?
|
The first trimester is the period of embryological and early fetal development. During this period, the rudiments of all the major organ systems appear.
2. The second trimester is dominated by the development of organs and organ systems, a process that nears completion by the end of the sixth month. During this period, body shape and proportions change; by the end of this trimester, the fetus looks distinctively human. 3. The third trimester is characterized by rapid fetal growth and deposition of adipose tissue. Early in the third trimester, most of the fetus’s major organ systems become fully functional. An infant born one month or even two months prematurely has a reasonable chance of survival. |
