The iris acts as a diaphragm, dilating or constricting to regulate light levels.
The malleus, incus, and stapes (ossicles) are located within the middle ear cavity.
The olfactory epithelium contains specialized sensory neurons that detect chemicals in the air, allowing for the sense of smell.
While taste receptors are distributed throughout the tongue, the tip is particularly sensitive to sweet tastes.
The dermis is the thick layer of skin that houses sensory receptors, glands, and vessels.
The optic disc is where the optic nerve exits the eye, resulting in no photoreceptors at that exact location.
The cochlea is a snail-shaped, fluid-filled structure in the inner ear responsible for converting sound waves into nerve impulses.
Papillae are the visible bumps on the tongue that house taste buds, which contain taste receptor cells.
Pacinian corpuscles are specialized mechanoreceptors that detect deep pressure and rapid vibration.
The sclera is the tough, opaque, fibrous outer layer that forms the white part of the eye.
The lens is the transparent, flexible structure behind the iris that changes shape to focus light precisely onto the retina.
The eustachian tube links the middle ear to the nasopharynx, helping to maintain equal air pressure on both sides of the eardrum.
The olfactory nerve (Cranial Nerve I) carries sensory information related to the sense of smell from the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb.
Krause end bulbs are thermoreceptors in the skin that are primarily sensitive to cold sensations.
Umami is the fifth basic taste, triggered by glutamate, and is characterized as a savory or meaty flavor.
Endolymph is the potassium-rich fluid found within the scala media (cochlear duct) of the inner ear, essential for hearing transduction.
Rhodopsin is a biological pigment found in the rod cells of the retina and is extremely sensitive to light, enabling scotopic (night) vision.
Ceruminous glands are specialized sweat glands that produce cerumen, commonly known as earwax, to protect the ear canal.
The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, providing a waterproof, protective barrier that prevents pathogen entry and dehydration.
The fovea centralis is a small pit in the macula of the retina that contains a high density of cone cells, providing the sharpest central vision.
