Side A ------ Side B
the outermost layer of the epidermis ------ stratum corneum
semi-permeable outer layer of the skin, part of cutis ------ epidermis
part of the cutis, where hair roots and sweat glands reside ------ dermis
fatty or adipose tissue layer which holds large blood vessels and nerves.  attached to muscle and bones with connective tissue ------ subcutaneous fat layer
skin part of the nervous system filled with mechanical receptors that respond to physical distortion and provide information about the environment ------ somatosensory receptors
information enters the dorsal roots, passes through the ganglion, into the spinal cord and to the thalamus and the parietal lobe.  relays information about pain, temperature, itch, and crude touch ------ spinothalamic pathway
relays information about light touch, vibration, and conscious information ------ lemniscal pathway
create impulses controlling movement ------ motor cortex
map of sensory space in its location ------ homunculus 
small nerve fibers are stimulated.  the projection neurons are stimulated and the inhibitory interneurons are blocked ------ PAIN
large nerve fibers are activated.  projection neurons are activated and the inhibitory interneurons are as well, blocking the projection neuron signals.   ------ no pain
creates the perception of pain when stimulated by potentially damaging stimuli. ------ nociceptors
disorder which affects the development and survival of sensory neurons.  results in inability to produce tears, poor growth, trouble swallowing, insensitivity to pain. ------ familial dysautonomia, riley day syndrome
the phenomenon of pain perceived at a site adjacent to an injury, such as chest pain during a heart attack ------ referred pain
glands that secrete SEBUM or an oily waxy substance to lubricate mammal skin and hair ------ sebaceous glands
sweat glands composed of coiled secretory portions located in the dermis and subcutaneous fat ------ apocrine glands
fat tissue ------ adipose
hairy ------ hirsute
hairless skin ------ glabrous   
a dark pigmented tumor caused by a melanocyte. ------ melanoma
irregular white patches in the skin caused by non-functioning melanocytes ------ vitiligo
herpes zoster infection in a dorsal root causes painful rash with blisters ------ dermatone, shingles
the distance on the skin required to feel two points as opposed to one. ------ two point threshold
inflammation of the skin ------ dermatitis
energy therapy ------ therapuetic touch   
drooping eyelids ------ ptosis
red itchy skin lesions that may discharge serous matter and may become crusty and scaly. ------ eczema
if you are not exposed to infectious agents as a child, your immune system will be stunted, causing you to later develop allergies and infections ------ hygienic hypothesis
a volatile compound in high concentration that interacts with the olfactory receptors ------ odorant
psuedostratified epithelium whose axons connect with the olfactory bulb of the brain ------ olfactory epithelium
molecules of odorants enter the superior nasal concha and dissolve into the mucus lining in the nasal cavity and are detected by olfactory receptors by binding to proteins ------ olfaction via olfactory binding proteins   
part of the skull beneath the olfactory bulb, through which nerve impulses pass ------ cribriform plate
create the sense of smell ------ olfactory receptors
cranial nerve at the base of the brain ------ olfactory bulb
complete loss of smell ------ anosmia
diminished sense of smell ------ hyposmia
heightened sense of smell ------ hyperosmia   
activation of the olfactory complex before a seizure ------ cacosmia
phantom smell ------ phantosmia
when you eat something and it makes you sick and you dont want to eat it ever again ------ garcia effect
when bitches get their periods together ------ menstrual synchrony
multiple sexual partners reduces refractory period ------ coolidge effect
lock and key association; odorant chemical compounds have specific shapes that correspond with specific receptors.   ------ stereochemical effect      
secreted or exreted chemical that has a social effect on memebers of the same species  ------ pheromones
an organ in the olfactory cavity which sensed chemical signs of reproduction ------ vomeronasal organ 
cavities in the face that are mucus lined ------ sinus
hypersensitive immune system ------ allergies
reduced ability to taste ------ hypoguesia
inability to taste ------ aguesia
fould rancid metallic taste persists in the mouth ------ dysguesia
pathway which causes you to stop eating  ------ ventromedial 
pathway that causes you to eat ------ lateral
clusters of receptor cells on the epithelium of the tongue that constitute the sense of taste  ------ taste buds
sweet salty sour bitter umami ------ TASTES
small protuberances on the tongue that contain taste buds ------ papillae  
abraise food  ------ filliform papillae
create the sense of taste ------ gustatory receptors
when the presence of a stimulus for a certain modality causes a sensation in another modality ------ synesthesia
