Document Summary
In what ways are sensory receptor cells classified: describe the general anatomy and function of mechanoreceptor/touch sensilla in insects. Describe how sound stimulates the tympanal organ of a noctuid moth. How does a moth use sensory information from its (cid:498)ear(cid:499) to respond in an adaptive way to predatory bats: describe the structure of a hair cell. Note their orientation, fluid, and hair cells: describe the sensation of hearing in the mammalian ear. Include the path of sound from the external ear to internal ear, including the eardrum, ossicles, oval window, and cochlea. Describe the anatomy of the cochlea, including the three fluid-filled chambers, basilar membrane, and organ of corti. What triggers each, and how are the different tastes transduced: describe the general anatomy and function of an olfactory receptor in insects. Describe the general anatomy of vertebrate olfactory receptors. How do they differ in morphology: describe the process of phototransduction in a photoreceptor.
