Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Sense Organs Chapter 11
2
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Sensory Receptors Some combine with muscle and tissue to form sense organs Most consist of specialized nerve cells or nerve endings
3
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Sensory Receptors (cont’d) Sensory receptors transmit information about –Type –Type of stimulus –Location –Location of stimulus –Intensity –Intensity of stimulus
4
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Classification of Receptors Chemoreceptors Mechanoreceptors Thermoreceptors Nociceptors Photoreceptors Proprioceptors
5
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Question Nociceptors respond to: A.various chemicals inside and outside the body. B.pressure, stretch, or vibration. C.pain from tissue damage. D.changes in temperature.
6
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Answer Correct answer: C Rationale: Chemoreceptors react to chemicals. Mechanoreceptors respond to factors that change the position of a receptor (such as pressure, stretch, or vibration) Thermoreceptors respond to changes in temperature.
7
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company General Senses Include pain, pressure, touch, stretch, and temperature Involve receptors widely distributed in skin, muscles, tendons, joints, and viscera
8
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Pain Nociceptors consist of free nerve endings that carry impulses to the brain. Receptors are abundant in skin and mucous membranes; found in almost every organ. Nociceptors use fast and slow pain fibers.

11
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Question The true source of pain can be difficult to identify because: A.nociceptors can be stimulated by a variety of chemicals. B.deep body organs do not contain pain fibers. C.some pain signals travel to the thalamus, whereas others travel to the limbic system. D.sensory impulses from different areas often travel to the brain over the same pathway.
12
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Answer Correct answer: D Rationale: The different chemicals released by injured receptors have nothing to do with identifying the source of pain. Deep body organs contain slow pain fibers. Pain signals that travel to the thalamus proceed to the postcentral gyrus, making the individual aware of pain; signals that travel to the limbic system trigger emotional responses to pain.
13
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Special Senses Include taste, smell, hearing, equilibrium, and vision Involve receptors grouped together or clustered in specialized organs
14

Hearing Auricle Auditory canal
17
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Middle Ear Malleus Incus Stapes Tympanic membrane Eustachian tube
18
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Inner Ear Semicircular canals Vestibule Cochlea Cochlear duct
19
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Inner Ear (cont’d) Basilar membrane Organ of Corti
20
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Question Which inner ear structure contains the structures for hearing? A.Vestibule B.Semicircular canals C.Cochlea D.Auricle
21
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Answer Correct answer: C Rationale: The vestibule contains organs necessary for the sense of balance. The semicircular canals are crucial for balance and equilibrium. The auricle (pinna) is the visible part of the external ear.

Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Dynamic Equilibrium
26
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Static Equilibrium
27
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Question The utricle and saccule reside inside the: A.vestibule. B.ampulla. C.organ of Corti. D.cochlea.
28
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Answer Correct answer: A Rationale: The cupula resides in the ampulla. The cochlea contains the organ of Corti, the hearing sense organ.

32
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Tissue Layers of the Eye Sclera Cornea Iris Ciliary body Choroid Optic nerve Retina
33
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Retina Macula lutea Fovea centralis Optic disc
34
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Question The outermost layer of the eye is the: A.sclera. B.ciliary body. C.choroid. D.retina.
35
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Answer Correct answer: A Rationale: The ciliary body and choroid are parts of the middle vascular layer. The retina is part of the inner neural layer.

37
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Process of Vision 1.Light focuses on the retina and produces an upside-down image. 2.Rods and cone convert the image to nerve impulses. 3.Impulses are transmitted to the brain.

41
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Action of Photoreceptors Rods Concentrated at the periphery of the retina Active in dim light Responsible for night vision Cannot distinguish colors from each other Cones Concentrated in the center of the retina Active in bright light Responsible for sharp vision Responsible for color vision

43
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Question The bending of light rays so they focus precisely on the retina is called: A.convergence. B.accommodation. C.constriction. D.refraction.
44
Copyright © 2015. F.A. Davis Company Answer Correct answer: D Rationale: Convergence lines up the visual axis of each eye. Accommodation occurs when the lens changes its curvature. Constriction occurs when the pupil narrows to restrict light entering the eye.
