| The coiled tube in the inner ear. Houses the organ of hearing. |
Cochlea |
| The inflammation of the conjunctiva. |
Conjunctivitis |
| The transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. |

Lacrimal Gland |
| The tough outer protective layer of the eye. |
Sclera |
| Another name for the eardrum. |
Tympanic Membrane |
| The clear jelly like substance within the eye. |
Vitreous Humor |
| Helps move the eye downward and away from the midline. |
Trochlear |

| The area for interpretation of smell. |
Olfactory Cortex |
| The location of the olfactory cortex. |
Frontal and Temporal Lobes |
| The organs of taste. |
Taste buds |
| Taste primarily tasted at the tip of your tongue. |
Sweet |
| Taste primarily tasted at the margins of the tongue. |
Sour |
| Taste primarily tasted at the back of the tongue. |

Pearl |
| An air |
filled space within the temporal bone. |
| This connects middle ears to the pharynx allowing air to pass. |
Eustachian tube |
| These help increase or amplify the force of vibrations as they are passed from eardrum to the oval window. |
Auditory Ossicles |
| Three canals in your ear that provide a sense of equilibrium. |
Semicircular Canals |
| Two structures that contribute to equilibrium. |
Utricle and Saccule |
| This is responsible for Static Equilibrium. |
Vestibule |
| This is responsible for Dynamic Equilibrium. |
Semicircular Canals |
| Pigment producing cells that absorb excess light and keep the inside of the eye dark. |
Melanocytes |
| This provides nutrition to the surrounding tissues in the eye. |
Choroid coat |
| This extends from the choroid coat and forms an internal ring around the front of the eye which adjusts for near and far vision. |
Ciliary body |
| Smooth muscle fiber of your iris that make pupils smaller. |
Circular Fibers |
| Smooth muscle fiber of your iris that make pupils larger. |
Radial Fibers |
| This is when the lens of your eye or its capsule becomes cloudy and opaque. |
Cataract |
| The phenomenon when the lens change shape to allow for near or far vision. |
Accommodation |
| This nearly transparent sheet of tissue contains the visual receptor cells. |
