external auditory canal
ceruminous gland
tympanic membrane
auricle
middle ear
The auditory ossicles:
include the malleus, incus, and stapes
are located in the inner ear
decrease the vibrations from the tympanic membrane
transmit vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the round window
have all of these characteristics
In the cochlea, the space that extends from the oval window to the apex of the cochlear spiral is the:
cochlear duct
scala vestibuli
scala tympani
spiral lamina
tectorial membrane
The letter A represents the:
tympanic membrane
semicircular canals
external auditory canal
cochlea
auditory ossicles
Anatomy of the eye responsible for color vision:

Which of the following is NOT one of the four primary taste sensations?
bitter
salty
sour
spicy
sweet
Which of these statements about taste is NOT true?
Taste buds are oval structures located on the surface of certain papillae on the tongue.
Each taste bud has about 40 taste cells
Taste cells contain hair-like processes called taste hairs.
Many taste sensations are strongly influenced by olfactory sensations.
Taste buds are only able to detect one taste sensation.
The middle layer of the eye that, consists of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris is:
the conjunctiva.
the fibrous tunic.
the vascular tunic.
the nervous tunic.
the crystalline lens.
From the list below, all are accessory structures for the eye EXCEPT:
conjunctiva
lacrimal apparatus
retina

taste
sight
sound
touch
Olfaction:
taste
touch
smell

The newest taste to be described is

Why does a person's nose run when he cries?
Tears drain into the nasal cavity via the nasolacrimal duct.
Parasympathetic nerve stimulation causes the nose to secrete mucus.
Intense stimulation of the facial nerve as a result of crying increases nasal secretions.
The lacrimal glands secrete tears directly into the nose.
This stimulates fluid production in the nose.
The external ear terminates at the:
pinna
oval window
tympanic membrane
internal auditory meatus
ossicles

200
300
400
500
600
___________ detect light touch and superficial pressure and are found in the epidermis.
Meissner's corpuscles
Pacinian corpuscles
Merkel's disks
Ruffini corpuscles
Free nerve endings
