Watch this short video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/facialnerve) to see an examination of the facial nerve usingsome simple tests. The facial nerve controls the musclesof facial expression. Severe deficits will be obvious inwatching someone use those muscles for normal control.One side of the face might not move like the other side. Butdirected tests, especially for contraction against resistance,require a formal testing of the muscles. The muscles of theupper and lower face need to be tested. The strength testin this video involves the patient squeezing her eyes shutand the examiner trying to pry her eyes open. Why does theexaminer ask her to try a second time?

Actin and myosin in the sarcomeres will remain Douna. O Actin and myosin in the sarcomeres are in the unbound state. Question 41 Which of the following is an example of sensory adaptation? O After the wound healed, the pain also went away. O You notice the smell of liver and onions cooking when you enter the kitchen, but soon you do not notice the odor although they are still cooking. When it is totally dark, the rods and cones of the eyes do not send any visual impulses. O The act of trying to read a book while riding in a car causes eyestrain. Question 42 What determines "loudness"? O The number of hair cells that are stimulated. O The wave frequency or number of vibrations per second. O As the noise gets louder, the auditory (Eustachian) tube expands. 1 pts 1 pts
Almost all subjects will show a declining force (pseudo-fatigue), while their eyes are shut, that isvery similar to fatigue. This is, however, not true fatigue, because the full 50% force can be exerted easily, as can be seen when the subject's eyes are opened again. What explanations can you think of for pseudo-fatigue?
The inner ear is responsible for both hearing and balance. One of the diseases affecting the inner ear is Meniere's disease. Affected individuals often experience vertigo, among other symptoms. Vertigo is a sensation that the surroundings are spinning or swaying in the absence of any body movement. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the affected structure and process in individuals experiencing vertigo? Select one: a. Structure Process Semicircular canals Gravitational equilibrium O b. Structure Process Organ of Corti Rotational equilibrium O c. Structure Process Organ of Corti Gravitational equilibrium d. Structure Process Semicircular canals Rotational equilibrium
