1. adaptation - ANS-the ability to no longer perceive sensations due to prolonged exposure
2. after the gustatory receptor cells send signals to the cranial nerves it will pass the signal
to the - ANS-medulla oblongata, thalamus, and parietal lobe
3. anterior chamber (cavity) of the eye - ANS-aqueous humor
4. causes of vertigo - ANS-stroke, encephalitis, and toxins or drugs like alcohol
5. chemoreceptors - ANS-chemicals
6. choroid - ANS-begins with the center of the optic nerve and extends to the choroid
7. mostly made of connective tissue and blood vessels
8. ciliary body - ANS-ciliary muscles, ciliary process, zonular fibers
9. ciliary muscles - ANS-responsible for changing the shape of the lens
10. ciliary process - ANS-secretes aqueous humor
11. complex tactile sensations - ANS-combination of the previous nerve endings- gives
surfaces textures
12. cornea - ANS-less strong but more transparent than the sclera allowing light to pass
through
13. corpuscles for touch - ANS-meissner's corpuscle- light touch, low frequency vibration
14. cristae in semicircular canals detect - ANS-rotation
15. dry maculae degeneration - ANS-destruction without leaky vessels
16. encapsulated nerve endings - ANS-touch, pressure, vibration
17. exteroceptors - ANS-sensations from outside the body
18. fibrous tunic - ANS-sclera and cornea
19. filiform papillae - ANS-cover the entire tongue surface, contain NO taste buds but rather
function to increase friction to move food and contain tactile receptors
20. foliate papillae - ANS-located in the lateral trenches of the tongue and degenerate in
early childhood
21. free nerve endings - ANS-pain, temperature changes, tickle, itch
22. free nerve endings - tactile (itch, tickle), nontactile - temperature change, pain - ANS-root
hair plexuses- sense movement on skin by movement of hair
23. fungiform papillae - ANS-scattered all over the tongue and contain about 5 taste buds
each
24. general functions of the endocrine system - ANS-metabolism, growth, sleep, mood,
tissue function, reproduction, stress, fluid dynamics
25. gustatory receptor cells send the signal to - ANS-fascial nerve (CN VII)- anterior 2/3 of
tongue, glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) posterior 1/3 of tongue and pharynx, and vagus
nerve (CN X) epiglottis
26. hormonal stimuli - ANS-other hormones either trigger the release or inhibit the release
27. humoral stimuli - ANS-chemicals control the trigger or inhibition of the release
28. hypothalamus connects to the pituitary via - ANS-the stalk of the infundibulum
