  • Front
  • Back
collects and directs sounds waves into auditory canal
auricle
vibrates at exactly the same frequency as the sound wave(s) hitting it.
tympanic membrane
articulate to form a lever system that amplifies and transmits the vibratory motion of the eardrum to the fluids of the inner ear via the oval window
ossicles
contains sensory receptors for hearing
cochlea
involved in equilibrium
vestibule and semicircular canals
helps equalize the pressure of the middle ear cavity with external air pressure
auditory tube
bounds the scala tympani
round window
test that checls for audibility sharpness
acuity test
test that checks for ability to locate sounds
sound localization
test that determines conduction or sensorineural deafness
weber test
test that compairs bone and air conduction hearing
rinne test
deafness where the sounds will be heard louder in the ear with hearing loss than in the "normal" ear
conduction deafness
deafness where sounds will be heard louder in the ear with no hearing loss.
sensorineural deafness
what cranial nerve carries information for hearing and balance?
vestibulocohlear nerve (VIII)
type of hearing loss in which the root cause lies in the vestibulocochlear nerve (Cranial nerve VIII), the inner ear, or central processing centers of the brain.
sensorineural deafness
test that demonstrates weither normal function of the equilibrium apparatus
balance test
test that demonstrates nystagmus and vertigo
Banary test
test demonstrated the integrity of the dorsal white column of the spinal cord
romberg test
what are the types of papillae containing taste buds?
circumvallate, foliate, fungiform
G protein- gustducin causes depolatrization
sweet and bitter
deploarization causes K channels to close
sweet
depolarization causes increased intracellular levels of Ca
bitter
H ions and blockade of K (or Na) channels causes depolarization
sour
influx of Na throught Na Channels causes depolarization
salty
amino acid glutamate causes depolarization
umami
Even through we refer to the "nasal epithelium" what type of cells are the actual olfactory receptor cells?
bipolar neurons (epithelium)
what are the five taste sensations?
sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami
what factor plays a role in taste?
smell
what does Antidiuretic hormone do and where is it produced?
causes the distal and collecting tublues of the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the urinary filtrate. increases blood pressure

secreted by the posterior pituitary
what does oxytocin do and where is it produced?
it stimulated uterine contraction during birth and coitus and also causes milk ejection in the lactating mother

secreted by the posterior pituitary
what does the growth hormone do and where is it produced?
metabolic hormone that plays an important role in determining body size.

produced by the anterior pituitary
what does prolactin do and where is it produced?
stimulated breast development and promotes and maintains lactation by the mammary glands after chilbirth. may stimulate testoterone in males

produced by the anterior pituitary
what does follicle stimulating hormone do and where is it produced?
regulate gamete production and hormonal activity of the gonads

produced by the anterior pituitary gland
what does the luteinizing hormone do and where is it produced?
regulate gamete production and hormonal activity of the gonads

produced by the anterior pituitary gland
what does the thyroid stimulating hormone do and where is it produced?
influences the growth and activity of the thyroid gland.

produced by the anterior pituitary gland
what does adrenocorticotropic hormone do and where is it produced?
regulates the endocrine activity of the cortex portion of the adrenal gland

produced in the anterior pituitary
what does melatonin do and where is it produced?
exerts some inhibitory effect on the reproductive sstem that prevents precocious sexual maturation

produced by the pineal gland
what does T3 and T4 do and where is it produced?
controls the rate of body metabolism and cellular oxidation

produced by the Thyroid gland
what does calcitonin do and where is it produced?
decreses blood calcium levels by stimulating Ca salt deposit in the bones

produced in the thryoid gland
what does parathyroid hormone do ans where is it produced?
regulates the Ca balance of the blood. when Ca levels are low it releases PTH which causes release of Ca from bone matrix and prods the kidneys to reabsorb more Ca and less K

produced by the Parathyroid gland
what does aldosterone do, where is it produced, and what is it other name?
regulates water and electrolyte balance in the extracellular fluids by regluating Na ion reabsorption by kidney tubules

produced by adrenal glands

mineralocorticoids
what does cortisone do, where is it produced, and what it is other name?
enable the body to resist long-term stressors, primarily by increasing blood glucose levels

produced by adrenal glands

cocorticoids
what does androgens do, where is it produced, and what is its other name?
male sex hormones and female sex hormones

produced by adrenal glands

gonadocorticoids
what does insulin do and where is it produced?
decreases blood sugar levels by accelerating the transport of glucose into the body cells

produced by the pancreas
what does glucagon do and where is it produced?
stimulated by low blood glucose levels and it stimulated the liver to break doen its glycogen stores to glucose and subsequently to release the glucose to blood

produced by the pancreas
what is estrogen and where is it produced?
responsible for the developement of the secondary sex characteristics of the female at puberty (maturation of the reproductive organs and development of the breasts)

produced by the gonads
what is progesterone and where is it produced?
acts with estrogen to bring about the menstrual cycle. during pregnancy it maintains the uterine musculature in a quiescent state and helps to prepare the breast tissue for lactation

produced by the gonads
what is testosterone and where is it produced?
promotes the maturation of the reproductive system accessory structures, brings about the development of the male secondary sex characteristics and is responsible for sexual drive or libido

produced by the gonads
a protective mechanism that minimizes blood loss when blood vessels are ruptured
blood clotting
The clumping of cells such as bacteria or red blood cells in the presence of an antibody. The antibody or other molecule binds multiple particles and joins them, creating a large complex.
agglutination
transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
erthrocytes
phagocytize bacteria
neutrophil
kill arasitic worms; destroy antigen-antibody complexes; inactivate some inflammatory chemicals of allergy
eosinophil
release histamine and other mediators of inflammation; contain heparin, and anticoagulant
