SENSE ORGANS
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| CANTHUS | THE CORNER OF THE EYELIDS WHERE THEY COME TOGETHER. EACH EYE HAS A MEDIAL AND LATERAL CANTHUS. |
| CHOROID | A PORTION OF THE UVEA, OR MIDDLE VASCULAR LAYER, OF THE EYE. THE CHOROID CONSISTS MAINLY OF PIGMENT AND BLOOD VESSELS AND IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE SCLERA AND THE RETINA. |
| CILIARY BODY | A PORTION OF THE UVEA, OR MIDDLE VASCULAR LAYER, OF THE EYE. THE CILLIARY BODY IS A RING SHAPED STRUCTURE LOCATED IMMEDIATLEY BEHIND THE IRIS. IT CONTAINS THE CILIARY MUSCLES THAT ADJUST THE SHAPE OF THE LENS AND THE CELLS THAT PRODUCE AQUEOUS HUMOR. |
| COCHLEA | THE SNAIL SHELL SHAPED CAVITY IN THE TEMPORAL BONE OF THE SKULL THAT CONTAINS THE HEARING PORTION OF THE INNER EAR. |
| CONES | PHOTORECEPTORS IN THE RETINA OF THE EYE THAT PERCEIVE COLOR AND DETAIL. |
| SCLERA | OUTER MOST FIBROUS COAT OR LAYER (WHITE OF THE EYE) |
| CHOROID | VASCULAR LAYER BETWEEN THE SCLERA AND THE RETINA |
| RETINA | NERVOUS LAYER THAT HOUSES PHOTORECEPTORS (RODS AND CONES) |
| VITREOUS HUMOR | THE VITREOUS HUMOR, OR VITROUS, IS THE TRANSPARENT CLEAR GEL THAT FILLS THE SPACE BETWEEN THE LENS OF THE EYE AND THE RETINA THAT LINES THE BACK OF THE EYE |
| LENS | FOCUSES LIGHT INTO THE RETINA |
| IRIS | COLORED PART OF THE EYE, ,ADE OF PIGMENTED SMOOTH MUSCLE, REGULATES AMOUNT OF LIGHT PASSING THROUGH THE PUPIL |
| PUPIL | OPENING IN THE CENTER OF THE IRIS |
| AQUEOUS HUMOR | CLEAR,WATERY FLUID FILLING THE ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR CHAMBERS |
| CORNEA | TRANSPARENT COVERING ON THE EYE |
| CONJUNCTIVA | MUCOUS MEMBRANE THAT LINES THE EYELIDS |
| NICTITATING MEMBRANE | THIRD EYELID |
| LACRIMAL APPARATUS | TEARS FROM THE LACRIMAL GLAND LOCATED IN THE UPPER EYELIDS FLOW ONTO THE EYE BALL TO FLUSH DEBRIS FROM THE EYE AND MOISTEN AND LUBRICATE |
| LIGHT PASSES THROUGH THE PUPIL, IS REFRACTED(BENT) BY THE LENS AND HITS THE PHOTORECEPTORS | (CONES AND RODS) IN THE RETINA |
| RODS RESPOND TO DIM LIGHT | MORE ARE PRESENT IN NOCTURNAL ANIMALS |
| CONES RESPOND TO BRIGHT LIGHT | AND COLOR |
| NERVOUS IMPULSES FROM THE RODS AND CONES ARE SENT VIA | THE OPTIC NERVE TO THE BRAIN |
| EAR CONSISTS OF 3 REGIONS | OUTER EAR, MIDDLE EAR, INNER EAR |
| OUTER EAR | FROM THE PINNA TO THE TYMPANIC MEMBRAME (EAR DRUM), AIR FILLED |
| MIDDLE EAR | HOUSES THREE OSSICLES; ,MALLEUS (HAMMER), INCUS (ANVIL), STAPES (STIRRUP) |
| MIDDLE EAR | AIR FILLED, COMMUNICATES WITH THE NASOPHARYNX BY THE WAY OF THE EUSTACHIAN TUBE |
| INNER EAR | HOUSES THE COCHLEA AND SEMICIRCULAR CANALS, FLUID FILLED, |
| COCHLEA | HOUSES THE ORGAN OF CORTI (HEARING RECEPTORS) |
| SEMICIRULAR CANALS | CONTAIN NERVE RECEPTORS FOR PROPRIOCEPTION AND BALANCE |
| DEAFNESS | NERVE DEAFNESS. RESULTS FROM MALFUNCTION OF RECEPTORS OR AUDITORY NERVE. |
| DEAFNESS | IS MOST COMMON IN BLUE EYED CATS WITH WHITE COATS, SEALYHAM TERRIERS, SCOTCH TERRIERS, BOARDER COLLIES AND FOX TERRIERS |
| TRANSMISSION DEAFNESS | RESULTS FROM MALFUNCTION IN TRANSMISSION OF SOUND WAVES FROM THE OUTER EAR TO THE INNER EAR |
| SMELL | ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLFACTORY BULB |
| SMELL | RECEPTORS LIE IN THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF THE NASAL CAVITY |
| SMELL | ODOR IS DISSOLVED IN RECEPTORS AND TRANSMITTED TO THE BRAIN |
| TASTE | TASTE RECEPTORS ARE ENCLOSED IN GUSTATORY PAPILLAE ON THE TOUNGE |
| THREE TYPES OF PAPILLAE | FUNGIFORM PAPILLAE, FOLIATE PAPILLAE, VALLATE PAPILLAE |
| FUNGIFORM PAPILLAE | MUSHROOM SHAPED; SCATTERED AMONG FILIFORM PAPILLAE ON THE SURFACE OF THE TONGUE |
| FOLIATE PAPILLAE | LEAF SHAPED AND FOUND ON THE LATERAL BORDER OF THE TOUNGE. |
| VALLATE PAPILLAE | LARGE, CIRCULAR PROJECTIONS SURROUNDED BY A CLEFT, CONTAIN TASTE BUDS AND SEROUS GLANDS IN ALL DOMESTIC ANIMALS; CONTAIN MUCOUS GLANDS IN THE HORSE |
| TWO OTHER FORMS OF PAPILLAE ARE MECHANICAL | FILIFORM-THORN SHAPED, HELP DIRECT FOOD TOWARD PHARYNX AND ARE USED FOR LAPPING AND GROOMING; CONICAL (LENTICULAR IN RUMINANTS, CONE SHAPED; LARGER THAN FILIFORM PAPILLAE |
