Description
I designed this activity to help my human anatomy and physiology students visualize and pattern the physiological pathway, from the eye and ear to the brain. Students first will sequence the anatomical terms light passes through in the eye, and from the eye to the occipital lobe of the brain via nerves. Then students will sequence the anatomical structures sound passes through in the ear, and from the ear to the temporal lobe in the brain via nerves. The final product will be two flow charts showing the key terms in chronological order, separated by directional arrows.
Students will sequence the following terms through the eye - optic chiasm, pupil, cornea, vitreous humor, cone receptors in the fovea of the retina, occipital lobe, aqueous humor, optic nerve, and lens.
Students will sequence the following terms through the ear - cochlea, tympanic membrane, temporal lobe, external auditory canal, ossicles, auricle cranial nerve, and vestibule.
The physiological pathway through the digestive system is mapped out as an example at the top of the student page.
This PDF file will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app. It includes a key with the answers in red font.
This resource complements my other publications about the sensory system.
