Taste Taste receptors are concentrated in
taste buds on our tongues
Specific chemicals stimulate receptors› 5 types: sour, salty, sweet, bitter and
savoury
each cell (each taste bud)can detect all tastes, but is particularly responsive to a certain type/chemical

Eye Structure
Has 3 separate layers› Sclera › Choroid Layer› Retina
![Page 7: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Sclera
This is the white of your eye It is the outermost layer and its
function is to protect and maintain the shape of the eye
It includes the cornea and aqueous humour
![Page 9: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cornea
Front portion of sclera Clear Strongly curved Starts to focus light
![Page 10: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Aqueous Humour
Clear Supplies nutrients to cornea Fills front (anterior) eye cavity
![Page 11: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
![Page 12: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Choroid Layer
This is the middle layer of your eye It contains the blood vessels for the
retina It includes the iris, pupil, lens, vitreous
humour, and ciliary muscles
![Page 13: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Iris and Pupil
Iris is the coloured part that makes up the front of choroid layer
It contains muscles to change pupil diameter› Circular muscles close pupil› Radial muscles open pupil
The pupil is just a hole in the iris that light comes through
![Page 14: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ciliary Muscles (body)
Smooth muscle that changes lens shape
Attaches to ligaments which are connected to lens
Muscle contraction changes shape of lens
Secretes aqueous humour
![Page 15: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lens
Focuses light on retina Controlled by muscles of ciliary body Lens flattens for distant objects
› Image is inverted when light passes through Image is projected on retina upside-down.
The changing shape of the lens will focus the image on the retina
![Page 16: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Vitreous Humour
Cloudy, jelly-like material Maintains the shape of the eyeball Helps focus light onto the retina
![Page 17: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Retina
This is the innermost layer of your eye It contains photoreceptors and has 4
different layers of cells› Pigmented epithelium› Light-sensitive cells (sensory receptors)› Bipolar cells› Cell of the optic nerve
![Page 19: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More Retina
Light-sensitive cells (sensory receptors)› Rods which are cells for low-intensity light› Cones which are cells for high-intensity light
and identify colours› Cones are concentrated in the fovea
centralis located at the back of the eye› Rods are located around the periphery of the
fovea.› There are no receptors (rods and cones)
where the optic nerve and retina join blind spot
![Page 20: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Path of Light
Light enters the retina through the pigmented epithelium, which helps focus the light onto the rods and cones.
The signal is then sent through the bipolar cells to the cells of the optic nerve which transmit the message to the brain.
![Page 22: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Chemistry of Vision Rods contain rhodopsin, a light senstive
pigment› Light hits the rhodopsin and causes an
Action Potential in the rod. › Neurotransmitters communicate this
stimulus (AP) to the bipolar cells and then to the optic neurons
› Rhodopsin is sensitive to light and breaks down in high light intensity, so it works best in low light intensity situations
› Negatively affected by Vitamin A deficiency.
![Page 23: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Chemistry of Vision
Cones have a less sensitive pigment, so they work better in high intensity situations, allowing you to see colours.
Each cone is sensitive to one of the three primary colours of source light› Red› Blue› Green
![Page 24: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Seeing Colour
Combinations of cones being stimulated by different wavelengths allows you to perceive different colours
![Page 25: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Colour Blind
This happens when one or more types of cones are defective
The most common type is red-green colourblindness where the red sensitive cones are defective
![Page 26: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Afterimages
Positive = you can see the shape of a camera’s flash after you close your eyes.› Image has been “burned” onto your retina
Negative = color reversal› caused by fatigue of cones responsible for
particular colors, while others continue to fire

Focusing Near and Far
Note how the shape
of the lens changeswith distance from
object.
![Page 37: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Accommodation
Normal focusing of light› Cornea bends light to pupil: light slows
down as it travels through the cornea (dense material) = refraction of light inward toward lens. Lens is thicker in middle than edges, so light bends to a focal point (center of retina)
![Page 38: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Accommodation Viewing close up
› ciliary muscle contracts and lens becomes thicker = additional bending of light. Pupil constricts to focus the image (light is focused more onto the fovea centralis)
Viewing farther away› Relaxaion of ciliary muscle causes lens to
thin out. Pupil dilates to let in more light. As you age: layers of protein cover the
lens, hardening it so it is less flexible; more difficulty accommodating for close up (reading).

Defective Vision
Near-Sightedness (Myopia) Eyeball is TOO LONG Rays from distant objects focus in front of
the retina
![Page 40: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Myopia can be corrected using a concave lens.
![Page 41: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Far-Sightedness-Hypermetropia Eyeball is TOO SHORT Rays from near objects focus behind the
retina
![Page 42: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Hypermetropia can be corrected with a convex lens
![Page 43: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Glaucoma› Buildup of aqueous humour› Increases pressure in the eye which causes
retinal ganglion cells (nerve cells) to die› Results in loss of vision
![Page 44: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Cataracts› Lens becomes opaque
(can’t see through it)› Light can’t pass
through› Can remove the lens
and wear strong prescription glasses
![Page 45: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Astigmatism› Lens or
cornea is irregularly shaped
› Light doesn’t focus on back center of retina (fovea centralis)
![Page 46: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Ear Structure The ear is made up of three main
structures› Outer Ear
Gathers sound waves Transfers sound waves to middle ear
› Middle Ear Amplifies sound waves Transfers sound waves to inner ear
› Inner Ear Turns vibration signals (from sound waves)
into electrical impulses which are sent to the brain through the auditory nerve
![Page 51: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Outer Ear
The outer ear consists of the pinna and the auditory canal
Pinna› External ear flap› Collects sound
Auditory Canal› Carries sound to the eardrum› Has sweat glands that produce ear wax
![Page 54: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Outer Ear meets Middle Ear
Tympanic membrane (Ear Drum)› Thin tissue layer that receives sound
vibrations› Sends the vibrations from the sound waves
into the middle ear
![Page 55: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Middle Ear
The middle ear consists of the ossicles and eustachian canal
Ossicles› Consists of three small bones that amplify
and carry sound from tympanic membrane to the oval window of the cochlea Malleus (hammer) Incus (anvil) Stapes (stirrup)
![Page 58: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Sound through the ossicles
Sound vibrations transfer from the tympanic membrane to the malleus, which then hits the incus which hits the stapes which vibrates against the membrane covering the oval window of the cochlea
Sound is amplified by concentrating the sound energy from the tympanic membrane to the smaller oval window

Middle Ear
Eustachian tube› Does not help with hearing› It is an air-filled tube that equalizes
pressure between the external and internal ear
› Where your ears “pop”

Cochlea
Movement of fluid in the cochlea causes the basilar membrane to vibrate› Different pitches of notes make different
areas of membrane vibrate Small hairs (cilia) are attached to the
basilar membrane The hairs rub and bend against the
tectorial membrane The bending generates a sensory nerve
impulse that is sent to the brain

Hearing Summary
Sound waves push against tympanic membrane; these vibrations are passed onto the ossicles (malleus then incus and finally stapes).
The ossicles concentrate and amplify the vibrations (exerting greater force by concentrating the energy in a very small area).
![Page 76: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Oval window receives vibrations from stapes which causes the oval window to move in and out. This results in the round window (below it) to also move in and out (in alternation with oval window). The two windows moving in and out cause fluid to move in the inner ear.
The cochlea receives fluid waves and converts them into electrical impulses.
Fluid waves move the basilar membrane, the hairs on the membrane brush against tectorial membrane and bend. This stimulates sensory nerves in the basilar membrane impulses to auditory nerve then to brain.

Ear Safety
Small muscles in your ears help protect your hearing
When loud noises are around:› Muscles attached to the malleus (hammer)
contract and restrict intense movements› A second muscle contracts, pulling the
stapes (stirrup) away from the oval window, limiting inner ear damage
This doesn’t work for sudden loud noises
![Page 78: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Hearing Loss
Conductive Hearing Loss› Sound waves can’t enter inner ear› caused by wax buildup, middle ear infection,
or punctured eardrum› Fixed by medical/surgical procedures
Sensorineural Hearing Loss› Auditory nerve is severed or damaged or hair
cells of the cochlea are damaged or dead.› caused by aging, loud noises, head trauma or
genetic conditions
![Page 79: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Hearing Loss
Hearing Aids› pick up sound (microphone), amplify it and
transmit it to eardrum› won’t work for Sensorineural hearing loss
(vibrations can’t be transmitted to brain)

Hearing Loss Cochlear Implants
› does not make sounds louder or clearer› bypasses damaged parts and converts sounds into
electrical impulses that are sent to the brain.› has a microphone (picks up sounds), a speech processor
(selects and arranges sounds), a transmitter and receiver/stimulator receive signals from the speech processor and convert into electrical impulses. Electrodes send them to the auditory nerves.
* Doesn’t replicate exact sounds (like we hear them), provides sounds that allow person to interpret their environment. Over time, person learns to decipher impulses and can understand speech.*

Equilibrium and Balance
Static equilibrium (Am I upside down)› Movement along one plane (vertical or
horizontal)› Detected by the vestibule› Involves two other structures
Utricle Saccule
› Fluid filled› Contains tiny hairs (cilia)

Static Equalibrium
When the head is upright: calcium carbonate crystals in the fluid (otoliths) don’t move = fluid doesn’t move = cilia don’t move
- When the head is bent forward: the otoliths shift downward, pulling on the fluid.
This causes the cilia to bend which stimulates the nerve cell.
Sends a nerve impulse to brain (cerebellum) informing of head position relative to gravity

Equilibrium and Balance
Dynamic Equilibrium (Moving forwards or backwards, spinning, flipping around)
Detected by the semicircular canals› Has 3 different fluid filled rings
Vertical Horizontal Diagonal
![Page 87: Explain other ways that humans sense their environment and their spatial orientation in it › olfactory receptors, proprioceptors, taste receptors, receptors](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649cef5503460f949bd601/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Dynamic Equilibrium
Each canal has an ampulla (pocket) that holds a cupula
When you move, fluid in the semicircular canals moves, bending cilia (that are on hair cells found in the cupula).› Results in nerve signals sent to brain.
Rapid, continuous movement of the fluids causes motion sickness
