|---|---|
| The complete or partial loss of sense of smell. | Anosmia |
| The absence of an eye. | Anopia |
| The thin, watery fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the iris. | Aqueus Humor |
| Inflammation of the eyelid margins. | Blepharities |
| The middle, vascular layer of the eye. | Choroid |
| 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. | Cornea |
| Double vision. | Diplopia |
| The blindness in one half of the visual field. | Hemianopia |
| Colored muscular part of the eye. | Iris |
| The complex system of connecting chambers and tubes of the inner ear. | Labyrinth |
| A tear gland is also called this. | 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 |
| A mixed nerve, carries sensation from the face and eye; also impulses the muscles of chewing. | Trigeminal |
| Helps raise eyelid; contricts the pupil and focuses the lense. | Oculomotor |
| Stimulates muscles of facial expression, and carris taste sensation from the tongue. | Facial |
| Form of temporary paralysis resulting from damage of trauma to one of the two facial nerves. | Bell's Palsy |
| Controls the gag reflex and controls swallowing action. | Glossopharyngeal |
| Responsible for swallowing and speech. | Vagus |

| 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. | Bitter |

| A semitransparent membrane that is covered by skin on one side and mucous membrane of the other. | Eardrum |
| A healthy tympanic membrane looks similar to this. | 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. | Retina |
| This cavity is filled with vitreous humor. | Posterior |
| The bundles of axons that form an xshaped structure in the optic chiasma. | Optic nerves |
