Referred pain liver and gallbladder - Correct answer right upper quadrant/ right shoulder referred pain of stomach - Correct answer inferior to the xyphoid process and intermediate to the scapulae referred pain of the small intestines - Correct answer umbilicus region referred pain of the kidneys - Correct answer superior to umbilicus and wraps around body down to thigh referred pain of ureters - Correct answer inguinal region, inferior aspect of the rectus abdominus referred pain of bladder - Correct answer five areas superficial to sacral region lower portion of umbilicus region central in the inguinal region two bilateral glute muscles tactile receptors - Correct answer touch, pressure, vibration, itch, and tickle free nerve endings - tactile (itch, tickle), nontactile - temperature change, pain - Correct answer root hair plexuses- sense movement on skin by movement of hair corpuscles for touch - Correct answer meissner's corpuscle- light touch, low frequency vibration type I cutaneous mechanoreceptors - Correct answer merkel cells- pressure Type II cutaneous mechanoreceptors - Correct answer Ruffini corpuscles- light and deep pressure (baroreceptors) lamellated corpuscles - Correct answer pacinian corpuscle- vibration complex tactile sensations - Correct answer combination of the previous nerve endings- gives surfaces textures

physiology of vision - Correct answer 1. Light must be refracted (bent) precisely so it is focused on the fovea centralis and macula of the retina

  1. Light is refracted first and most by the cornea, then the aqueous humor in the anterior cavity, then the lens, and then the vitrous humor in the posterior cavity
  2. Changing the shape of the lens helps us accommodate for near, intermediate, and far vision.
    • The Accommodation Reflex.
  3. Eye optics causes the image to be inverted on the retina
  4. The cerebral cortex (brain) corrects this inversion so objects are seen in their correct orientation
  5. Incorrect focusing on the retina results in poor vision.
  6. Corrective lenses (glasses) fix incorrect focusing by bending the light and directing it toward the fovea. olfaction - Correct answer olfactory chemoreceptors cells send the signal to olfactory nerve, olfactory bulb, olfactory tracts, limbic system, and temporal and frontal lobes gustatory receptor cells send the signal to - Correct answer 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 after the gustatory receptor cells send signals to the cranial nerves it will pass the signal to the - Correct answer medulla oblongata, thalamus, and parietal lobe papillae - Correct answer bumps on the tongue vallate papillae - Correct answer 12 of them each containing 100-300 taste buds fungiform papillae - Correct answer scattered all over the tongue and contain about 5 taste buds each foliate papillae - Correct answer located in the lateral trenches of the tongue and degenerate in early childhood

filiform papillae - Correct answer cover the entire tongue surface, contain NO taste buds but rather function to increase friction to move food and contain tactile receptors taste sensations - Correct answer sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami sound travels from the - Correct answer outer ear, down auditory canal, tympanic membrane (ear drum), to the middle ear, eustachian tube; ossicles oval window; round window, to the inner ear; bony labyrinth and cochlea , organ of corti the maculae of the utricle and saccule detect - Correct answer linear acceleration or deceleration of the head cristae in semicircular canals detect - Correct answer rotation otoliths present in semicircular canals help detect - Correct answer head rotation vertigo - Correct answer loss of sense of balance or "spinning" of the room causes of vertigo - Correct answer stroke, encephalitis, and toxins or drugs like alcohol maculae degeneration - Correct answer "Dark spots" in vision caused by a destruction of the macula lutea wet and dry wet macular degeneration - Correct answer caused by poorly constructed capillaries dry maculae degeneration - Correct answer destruction without leaky vessels general functions of the endocrine system - Correct answer metabolism, growth, sleep, mood, tissue function, reproduction, stress, fluid dynamics primary endocrine structures - Correct answer Structures whose roll is only in the production of hormones: Pineal gland, Pituitary gland, Thyroid gland, Parathyroid gland, and Adrenal gland
