Special Senses

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Special Senses   Organs & Sensory receptors associated w/ touch - vision - hearing - taste- smell  
🗑
Sensory Receptors   special structures stimulated by change in environment - found all over the body, skin connective tissue  
🗑
Sensory Receptor Locations - Touch   tactile, feel pain, pressure, temp  
🗑
Sensory Receptor Locations - Visceral   on internal organs - feel thirsty, hungry  
🗑
xSensory Receptor Locations - Vision   Sight  
🗑
Sensory Receptor Locations - hearing   hearing  
🗑
Sensory Receptor Locations - Olfactory   smell  
🗑
Sensory Receptor Locations - Gustatory   taste  
🗑
Sensory Receptor Locations - Balance   balance  
🗑
Special Senses Actions   sense organ is stimulated - impulse carried along nerve pathway to brain where interpreted & referred back to sense organ "projection of the sensation"  
🗑
Eye Characteristics   1" diameter, sphere shaped, moved by muscles, protected by bone  
🗑
Eye Location   in orbit formed by maxilla, zygomatiic, frontal sphenoid & ethmoid bone  
🗑
Eye - Lacrimal Glands/Tear Ducts - Function   bathe eye in fluid maintain moisture cleanse located above lateral area of eye  
🗑
Eye - Conjunctiva - function & location   secretes mucous & lubricates thin membrane lining eyelids & part of eye  
🗑
Eye Layers & Functions - Sclera   - white of eye - in the outer eye - tough, maintains shape & protects  
🗑
Eye Layers & Functions -Muscles   controlled by extrinsic muscles *movement of eye  
🗑
Eye Layers & Functions - Cornea   has no blood vessels in it, "window" - in center of sclera - functions: transparent, lets light in, refracts (bends) light as it comes through the window  
🗑
Choroid - Middle layer - function   has blood vessels & dark pigment non-refractive  
🗑
Choroid - Middle layer -Pupil   - circular opening (black part)  
🗑
Choroid - Middle layer -Iris   colored layer - muscular- surrounds pupil- eye color related to pigment  
🗑
Choroid - Middle layer -Iris - Intrinsic Muscles   Intrinsic muscles- 2 sets of muscle in iris control light entering  
🗑
Choroid - Lens   transparent, membrane like structure, directly behind iris & pupil  
🗑
Choroid - Lens - Suspensory Ligaments   holds lens in place  
🗑
Choroid - Lens - Refractions   refracts light  
🗑
Choroid - Lens - Accomodation   ability of lens to adjust shape in order to focus  
🗑
Choroid - Lens - Chambers   lens situatied between 2 chambers which help maintain shape  
🗑
Choroid - Lens - Anterior Chamber   filled w watery fluid called Aqueous Humor  
🗑
Choroid - Lens - Posterior Chamber   filled w jelly like fluid Viterous Humor  
🗑
Retina -    
🗑
Retina - functions   transparent, light sensitive *light rays from object for images here**  
🗑
Retina - Visual Receptor Cells   found on//around retina  
🗑
Retina - Visual Receptor Cells - Rods   much more sensitive to light, provide vision in dim lighting produces colorless vision sensitive to light  
🗑
Retina - Visual Receptor Cells - Cones   detect color & sharp images bright light  
🗑
Retina - Visual Receptor Cells - Macula   center of retina contains Fovea Centralis *has cones for color vision**  
🗑
Retina - Optic Disc   pale disc where nerve fibers gathers & enter optic nerve  
🗑
Retina - Optic Disc - Blind Spot   b/c optic disc has no rods/cones, so no visual receptors = no vision  
🗑
Retina - Optic Chiasm   where 2 optic nerves cross  
🗑
Eve Nerves (3) - Oculomotor   eye movement  
🗑
Eye Nerves Trochlear   eye movement  
🗑
Eye Nerves - Optic   vision  
🗑
Vision process   light goes into -> cornea -> pupil -> lens/light rays bend (refract) light -> retina/image formed -> Rods & Cones pick up stimuli -> optic disc -> optic nerve -> optic chiasma ->alonng optic tracts - occopital lobe of brain  
🗑
Eye Disorders - night blindness   problem w rod, ssensitivity is low, occurs w age & low vitamin A age= no improvement Vitamin A= can improve  
🗑
Eye Disorders Color blindness   different kinds, depends on which colors effected *congenital, born with it  
🗑
Eye Disorders - Conjunctivitus   pink eye inflammation of membrane in front of eye  
🗑
Eye Disorders - Glaucoma   excessive intraoccular pressure -pressure under eye - oculiohumor fluid - rate of production greater than rate of removal - results - destruction of retinaa & damage to optic nerve - no early onset of symptoms - early detection important - more in a  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
