Term
processing
Definition

reception (sense it)

transduction (dendrite)

transmission (down axon)

perception (to brain)

 

Term
receptor types
Definition

mechanoreceptors (physical deformation)

chemoreceptors

electromagnetic

thermoreceptors

Term
balance and hearing
Definition
mechanoreceptors
Term
invertebrates  b and h
Definition

sensory organ- statocyst

 

Term
statocyts
Definition

ciliated receptors cells

statoliths pebble things

sensory axons

Term
parts of the ear
Definition

outer- pinna, auditory canal,

middle- malleus, stapes, incus, opens eustachian tubes, oval window

inner- semicircular, cochlea, auditory nerve

Term
cochlea
Definition
has 2 large canals (vestibular, tympanic) filled with perilymph  separated by duct filled with endolymph, bottom of duct is the basiliar membrane.
Term
semicircular canals
Definition
balance
Term
floor of the cochlea
Definition

basiliar membrane

contains the organ of corti

Term
hair cells of
Definition
the basiliar membrane, project into tectorial membrane
Term
hearing aye[image]
Definition

sound through oval canal and into vestibular canal, vibrates the basiliar membrane and goes down the tympanic membrane and our the round window

low pitches travel farther

hair cells depolarize generate action potential

Term
utricle and saccule
Definition

in the middle ear

up and down linear acceleration

Term
semicircular canal
Definition
head side to side, angular movements
Term
um. so. otolithic membrane
Definition
hair cells project into it, and have Ca+ deposits (otoliths), with movement creates a pressure change, AP sending message 2 brain.
Term
vision
Definition
photoreceptors, contain pigment
Term
ocelli
Definition
detects light intensity and direction but not images
Term
image forming eyes
Definition
simple and compound
