Question 1. Based on the results of the taste bud experiment , did you partner shoe the typical distribution of taste receptors on the tongue? (tonicity, vinegar, salt water, sour and sugar water)if not,, what were the diffrences? do you think the classic map of taste receptors applies to everyone?

Question 2. did sound conduction work better in air or through bone? explain your reasoning.

Question 3. otosclerosis is a hereditary condition where the auditory ossicles fuse together, limiting mobility of the bone. How would this condition lead to deafness? would it be considired a form of conduction deafness or sensory deafness?

Question 4. extensive ear infections in early childhood cal lead to permanent damage to the hair cells or vestibulocochlear nerve. how could this lead to deafness? would it be considered a form of conduction deafness or sensory deafness?

Question 5. why would damage to the nacul;a densa specifically affect visual acuity?

Question 6. why is it important that nociceptors show limited sensory adaptation compared to touch and temperature receptors?

Question 7. why do most reflex pathways rely on neurons rather than hormones for their afferent and efferent messengers?

Question 8. lets do some clinical research! using the internet or textbook resources, describe the condition of diabetic retinopathy. how does iot lead to vision problems? how is it diagnosed? is there any treatment for this disorder?
