Did you try your textbook? Chances are, the information can be found there. And are you googling those questions as worded? You're going to need to choose key words to google and determine the answer from information that comes up.

Hi! Welcome to AN! The largest online nursing community!

We are happy to help with homework however here at AN! We ask that all students post their work first. AN is different than most forums. We are a community of nurses that promote nursing to high standards. Giving students answers is not going to help you become the best nurse you can be. Have you looked in your text book? What semester are you?

I found them in 20 min. Research is going to be a BIG part of your nursing life. It is important to develop these skills early in your education.

Tell us what your research has revealed to you and we will jump in.

Well good for you! I do know how to research thank you very much. I don't appreciate having someone tell me that I am failing as a nursing student because I don't know some typical advance anatomy stuff. I was just hoping someone would reach out and assist me. I do have some answers in mind, but wanted some guidance on what others thought. Thanks for your help anyways I guess....I will just not have any help then and figure it out myself

No one told you that you were failing as a nursing student. Here at AN we do not just post answers. We require ALL students to p[ost what their research has revealed to them...FIRST.

I am sure you know how to research but you said you were having difficulty so I wanted to see if there was something I needed to do to help....and the answers are easily found.

We see students from all over the world so we keep that in mind when helping.

You said you have an idea.....post what you think and we can help point you in the right direction. But we do not just post answers...that is not helping you become the best nurse you can be.

Heres the first couple....

Sensory cells in the _____are stimulated when movement of the head causes endolymph to move.

----I was thinking semicircular duct or vestibule for this one, but as I am reading about it, it's telling me about hair. This lesson is on senses.

______is the term used to describe the type of receptors that generate action potentials resulting in the perception of gustation and/or olfaction.

----I put olfactory receptors...but we have learned about lots of other receptors like chemoreceptors, nociceptors, photoreceptors....and so on.

Where must sensory information go to have perception?

---Well since perception is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through senses, I was thinking about somewhere in the brain stem or one of the brain lobes....but the question below threw me off.

What happens if sensory information ends in the brain stem or thalamus?

-----Honestly, not sure if this is a bad idea that it ends up there, but I know that the thalamus is a center for pain perception

List 2 sensory madalities that have little or no adaptation?

---well I know that smell and hearing we can adapt to after smelling or hearing something for a good amount of time....so would like thought be one we can't adapt to? Not sure about this one.

How is aqueous humor and vitreous humor similar to CSF formation and circulation?

When studying nursing it is important to remember that you will have to remember what you learn and to recall that information, apply it, and draw a conclusion.

So....you ask yourself. What is aqueous humor? What does aqueous humor do? What is it made of? What is vitreous humor? What does vitreous humor do? What is it made of?

Then What is CSF? What does it do? What is it made of?

Then....how are they all similar?

This may help....Aqueous Humor
