How many divisions does the autonomic system have
|
2
|
|
What are the 2 divisions of the autonomic system?
|
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
|
|
This division of the ANS Prepares the body for the “fight or flight” response or intense physical activity
|
Sympathetic
|
|
This division of the ANS brings back to normal the effects of the sympathetic division
|
Parasympathetic
|
|
The ANS regulates what 3 things?
|
Smooth and Cardiac muscle and glands
|
|
What 3 parts of the brain control the ANS?
|
Medulla oblangata, hypothalamus, and the limbic system
|
|
This type of receptor respond to changes in the concentration of chemical substances (sense of smell & taste, detection of blood concentration changes, etc.)
|
Chemoreceptors
|
|
These receptors are found only in the eyes and respond to light energy
|
Photoreceptors
|
|
These receptors are sensitive to changes in temperature
|
Thermoreceptors
|
|
Name the 3 types of mechanoreceptors
|
Baroreceptors, proprioceptors, and stretch
|
|
This type of mechanoreceptor sense changes in muscle tension (give person sense of body position)
|
Proprioceptor
|
|
This type of mechanoreceptor are found in blood vessels and detect change in blood pressure
|
Baroreceptor
|
|
This type of mechanoreceptor detects degree of inflation in lungs and fullness in stomach
|
Stretch receptor
|
|
What are pain receptors called?
|
Nocireceptors
|
|
____ ____ are free nerve endings that are stimulated by tissue damage and respond to various stimuli – excess mechanical, electrical, thermal or chemical change.
|
Pain receptors(nocireceptors)
|
|
When sensory receptors are continuously stimulated, they may undergo ____ ____ in which the amount of stimuli required for the receptor to respond is increased.
for example a smell becoming less and less noticeable even though the source is still present or becoming accustomed to hot or cold water |
Sensory adaptation
|
|
What is the sense of taste called?
|
Gustation
|
|
In gustation the receptors are the what?
|
Taste buds
|
|
What is the sense of smell called
|
olfaction
|
|
In olfaction what are the receptors
|
olfactory receptors
|
|
______ stimulate by dissolved chemicals in solution
These receptors function with taste receptors (this is why food seems to lose its taste when you have a cold) |
Chemoreceptors
|
|
The sharpness of image is called
|
Visual acuity
|
|
Having normal vision is called
|
emmetropia
|
|
Nearsightedness is called what?
|
myopia
|
|
Farsightedness is called what?
|
hyperopia
|
|
In this condition, an elongated eye results in rays of light focusing in front of retina
|
myopia(nearsightedness)
|
|
Nearsightedness(myopia) is corrected with ____ lenses, which causes increased divergence of rays
|
concave
|
|
In this condition, the eyeball is too short, which would result in the focus occurring behind the retina
|
Hyperopia(farsightedness)
|
|
Hyperopia (farsightedness) is corrected with ____ lens, which increases convergence of light ray
|
Convex
|
|
In this condition, there is significant asymmetry of the cornea and/or lens and is corrected with uneven lens that is customized to the asymmetry of the cornea or lens
|
Astigmistism
|
|
In this type of hearing condition, there is impairment of the transmission of sound waves through middle ear
|
Conduction deafness
|
|
In this type of hearing condition, there is impairment of anywhere from cochlea to the auditory cortex
|
Sensorineural
|
|
This is composed of two parts and is located within the membranous labyrinth
|
Vestibular apparatus
|
|
The vestibular apparatus is located within the ____ labryinth which itself is located within the ___ labryinth
|
membranous, bony
|
|
The membranous labryinth is filled with what fluid?
|
endolymph
|
|
The bony labryinth is filled with what fluid?
|
perilymph
|
|
The otolith organs contains the ___ and ___
|
Utricle and saccule
|
|
The vestibular apparatus is composed of what 2 parts?
|
otolith organs and the semicircular canals
|
|
This is evoked by structures of the inner ear known as the vestibular apparatus
|
Sense of equilibrium
|
|
This type of acceleration is detects movement of a car(going slow or fast)
|
Linear acceleration
|
|
This type of acceleration consists of maintaining one’s balance when turning head, spinning, or tumbling
|
rotational
|
|
Name the pathway of light
|
cornea anterior chamber pupil lens posterior chamber retina
|
|
This condition is rhythmic shaking or wobbling of the eyes
|
nystagmus
|
|
This part of the retina contain the light sensitive pigment rhodopsin are highly sensitive to light, therefore providing colorless vision in dim light
|
rods
|
|
This part of the retina are much less sensitive to light but provide color vision & greater visual acuity the more light, the more these function
|
cones
|
|
Name the NEURAL pathway of light into the eye
|
retina optic nerve optic chiasm (cross-over of axons) visual cortex of the occipital lobe
|
|
These are ductless glands that release hormones into blood circulation for transport to target cells
|
Endocrine galnds
|
