Cards

Term
Sensory receptors
Definition
detect changes in external/internal environment. Set up impulses to central nervous system when interpretation is.
Term
Photoreceptors
Definition
changes in light
Term
Mechanoreceptors
Definition
mechanical energy (motion)
Term
Chemoreceptors
Definition
stimulated by chemicals
Term
Thermoreceptors
Definition
heat
Term
Photoreceptors
Definition
bring an action (from light)
Term
Photoreceptors for Protozoans
Definition
they have pigments in their cells that absorb light and bring change
Term
Photoreceptors for Jellyfish and flatworms
Definition
have ocelli - photoreceptors cells and pigment cells.
Term
Photoreceptors for Annelids and Mollusks
Definition
have ocelli (more complexed) pigment cup ocelli - more sensitive
Term
Photoreceptors of Arthropods and crustaceans
Definition
Have compound eyes- Each eye section= omatidia = face everywhere; cant see in color; fixed local length; bees can see color.
Term
Sclera
Definition
tough, outer fibrous layer
Term
Choroid
Definition
highly vascular, heavily pigmented
Term
Retina
Definition
photoreceptor cells for impulses
Term
Optic nerve
Definition
carries impulses to occipital lobe to cerebrum to be translated to vision.
Term
Fovea
Definition
yellow - light has to be on it then you see things in great detail
Term
Vitreous body
Definition
allows eye to stay together
Term
Cornea
Definition
transparent part that light must pass through
Term
Anterior chamber
Definition
filled withi fluid (aqueous's humor)
Term
Iris
Definition
colored part of the eye
Term
pupil
Definition
opening for light to pass (can control and relax)
Term
Ciliary muscle
Definition
contracts/relaxes to control width of lens. Suspensory ligaments
Term
Cones
Definition
stimulated by bright light; color vision.
Term
Rods
Definition
stimulated by dim light; black/white vision
Term
Rhodopsin
Definition
causes chemical change & neuron impulses over optic nerve to occipital nerve of cerebrum=sight.
Term
Mechanoreceptors
Definition
4 types - touch Touch/ pressure/proprioceptors/hearing
Term
Touch receptors
Definition
nerve endings close to skin
Term
pressure
Definition
deeper under surface of skin
Term
proprioceptors
Definition
impulses involved in skeletal muscle (if stretched); fine motor coordination of muscles
Term
Hearing
Definition
air pressure/waves captured by pinna. causes movement of ear drum
Term
Statocists
Definition
most invertebrates have this for balance (come from external environment).
Term
Chemoreceptors:
Definition
set up impuleses in respnonse to organism's chemical environment
Term
Motor mechanisms
Definition
invovled w/impulses traveling from brain/spinal chord to some effector structure .
Term
Skeletal systems
Definition
Hydrostatic skeleton (worms) - body cavity is lined with muscles & filled w/fluid; pressure w/fluids gives it control over its activities
Term
arthropods have exoskeleton
Definition
duh
Term
Axial Skeleton
Definition
skull, vertebrae column, sterrum, breastbone, ribs
Term
Appendicular skeleton
Definition
Pectoral girdle - clavicle/scapula/arm/hand bones
Pelvic girdle - illium, ischium, pubis, leg, foot
Term
Skeletal Muscle
Definition
muscle directly attached to skeleton..one end is the membrane---> Periostium (does not stretch)..other end is attached to tendon stretches. AKA striated muscle (striped) voluntary.
Term
Smooth Muscle
Definition
involuntary, lines organ
Term
Cardiac Muscle
Definition
involuntary/ lines heart; constantly contracts & relaxes
