Taste receptors are

Fluid within the bony labyrinth,but outside the membranous labyrinth,of the inner ear is called perilymph.

The photoreceptors for color vision are the

What is the term for the outermost tunic of the eye in the posterior region?

What is the correct sequence of the following events for the initiation of impulses involving static equilibrium? 1)hairs on cells bend 2)force of gravity changes 3)head tilts 4)impulse initiated 5)gelatinous mass and otoliths move 6)head upright and hair cells straight

The cranial nerve that transmits impulses for static and dynamic equilibrium is cranial nerve

The region of the retina that provides the sharpest or most acute vision is the

Bones that form the orbit of the eye include the

The arrangement of the bones in the middle ear is

Contraction of ciliary muscles causes the lens to flatten for distance vision.

What are the two special senses that depend on chemoreceptors?

What is the term for the area of the retina where vision is sharpest?

What is the term for the refractive component of the eye that adjusts for close vision?

The function of the auditory ossicles is to

The correct sequence for the transmission of low frequency sound vibrations is

The sense organs for dynamic equilibrium

Which of the following does not refract light?

The hair cell receptors for dynamic equilibrium detect

The region of the basilar membrane near the base of the cochlea vibrates in response to high frequency sound waves.

An auditory impulse is initiated when the hairs on the hair cells are deformed by contact with the
