1. Differentiate Between Types of Papillae of the Tongue, Layers of the Eye, and Layers of the Retina

Papillae of the Tongue:

- ______________________________________________ Papillae: Mushroom-shaped, scattered across the tongue, and contain taste buds.

- ______________________________________________ Papillae: Thin, conical, and located all over the tongue, they provide texture but do not contain taste buds.

- ______________________________________________Papillae: Large, dome-shaped, arranged in a V-shape at the back of the tongue, and contain taste buds.

Layers of the Eye:

- ______________________________________________Layer: Outer layer consisting of the sclera (white of the eye) and cornea (transparent, focuses light).

- ______________________________________________Layer (Uvea): Middle layer consisting of the choroid (pigmented, supplies blood), ciliary body (controls lens shape), and iris (controls the diameter of the pupil).

- ______________________________________________Layer: Inner layer consisting of the retina, which contains photoreceptors (rods and cones) for vision.

Layers of the Retina:

- ______________________________________________ Layer: Neurons whose axons form the optic nerve.

- ______________________________________________ Layer: Cells that transmit signals from photoreceptors to ganglion cells.

- ______________________________________________Layer: Contains rods (low-light vision) and cones (color vision).

2. Organ of Sensation and Specialized Cells of Sensation for Touch, Taste, Smell, Hearing, Sight, and Equilibrium

- Touch: Skin contains mechanoreceptors such as ______________________________________________ (deep pressure) and ______________________________________________ (light touch).

- Taste: Located on the tongue, the ______________________________________________ within the papillae contain gustatory cells that detect taste.

- Smell: _____________________________________________________________________ located in the nasal cavity contains olfactory receptors that send signals to the _____________________________________________________________________.

- Hearing: The ______________________________________________ in the inner ear contains the _____________________________________________________________________, which has hair cells that detect sound vibrations.

- Sight: The ______________________________________________in the eye contains rods and cones for detecting light and color.

- Equilibrium: The ______________________________________________ and ______________________________________________(saccule and utricle) in the inner ear detect balance and spatial orientation.
