Report
Pain 1. Compare and contrast the classes of pain receptors. 2. Compare the type of pain signals transmitted via A-delta fibres and C fibres. 3. Describe the role of endogenous opiates in the body’s natural analgesic system. Vision 4. Draw two sagittal sections of an emmetropic eye, one for far vision and one accommodated for near vision. 5. Explain how light absorption by a photopigment leads to a hyperpolarizing receptor potential. 6. Compare rod and cone vision. Hearing and Balance 7. Describe the function of the middle ear. 8. Compare the mechanisms for discrimination of pitch, loudness, and timbre. 9. Schematically draw one semicircular canal on each side of the head (viewed from above), showing the direction of fluid movement in the canals and the direction of bending of the cupula and hairs of the receptor hair cells when the head is rotating clockwise. 10. List the five established primary tastes and the stimuli that evoke each of these taste sensations. 11. Describe how odor discrimination is accomplished. 12. Illustrate the origin, termination, fibre length, and neurotransmitter released for parasympathetic and sympathetic preganglionic fibres and postganglionic fibres. 13. Compare the times of sympathetic and of parasympathetic dominance. 14. Discuss the relationship of the adrenal medulla to the autonomic nervous system. 15. Compare the effector organs innervated by the autonomic nervous system and by the somatic nervous system. 16. Explain why motor neurons are considered the final common pathway. 17. Discuss the role of ACh and of AChE at a neuromuscular junction. 18. Compare the magnitude of an EPP and an EPSP, and explain the functional significance of this difference. 19. Which one of the following is caused primarily by parasympathetic stimulation? a. Dilation of pupil b. Constriction of bronchioles c. Decreased gastric motility d. Increased heart rate 20. The influx of which ion triggers the release of vesicles from the terminal button of a motor neuron? a. Calcium b. Chlorine c. Potassium d. sodium 21.
22. List the four categories of sensory receptors. 23. What is the role of the inner hair cells in the organ of Corti? 24. Where are parasympathetic ganglia found? 25. What is the primary neurotransmitter at neuromuscular junctions? 26. List the five different types of tastes? 27. With regards to pain, capsaicin would activate which of the following? a. Chemical nociceptors b. Mechanical nociceptors c. Thermal nociceptors 28. Which of the following descriptions of eye sight is best associated with myopia? a. The age-related reduction in accommodative ability b. The elastic fibres of the lens becoming opaque c. The lens is too strong; a light source is brought to focus on the retina without accommodation. d. The eyeball is too short; far objects are focused on the retina only with accommodation. 29. Based on your knowledge of pain, which one of the following is involved in the analgesic pathway? a. Increased acetylcholine release b. Increased glutamate release c. Increased substance P release d. Increased endogenous opiate release 30. Which type of nerve fibre innervates the ventricles of the heart to increase contractility? a. Sympathetic preganglionic b. Sympathetic postganglionic c. Parasympathetic preganglionic d. Parasympathetic postganglionic 31. Using your knowledge of neuromuscular junctions, identify the correct channels that depolarize the motor end plate. a. Calcium channels b. Cation channels c. Potassium channels d. Sodium channels 32. Compare and contrast tonic receptors and phasic receptors. 33. Differentiate between receptor potentials and action potentials. 34. With regards to hearing, distinguish between pitch and loudness. 35. Explain what is meant by sympathetic or parasympathetic tone. 36. Describe how olfactory receptor cells are activated. 37. What would be the consequence of a lesion of the left optic tract? a. A loss of the left visual field in both eyes b. A loss of the right visual field in both eyes c. A loss of vision in the left eye
