  • what is a sensation - a subjective awareness of a stimulus
  • changes in blood pressure are detected by___ in the arteries- baroreceptors/mechanoreceptors
  • changes in CSF - chemoreceptors
  • what structure of the tingue is visible to the eye - lingual papilla
  • what taste sensation is associated with amino acids like aspartic acid - umami
  • pheromones stimulate - olfactory cells
  • the primary cortex is found in - temporal lobe
  • __ is th only sense that doesn't have to pass through the thalamus and still reach signals to the cortex - smell
  • what is the most vulnerable to irreversible damage cause by loud noise in the ear- hair cells
  • when you spin with your eyes closed you can sense this movement because of - semicircular ducts

  • ___ are responsible for photopic ( day vision) as well as trichromatic (color vision) - cones
  • Is a taste bud which produces receptor potential - taste hairs
  • structure allows respiratory infections to spread the throat to the tympanic membrane - eustachian tube
