Question
Answer
sclera   s: dense fibrous CT "white" part of eye f: stabilizes shape of eye during movement by muscles  
🗑
cornea   s: transparent area anterior surface of eye composed of dense matrix of multiple collagen fiber layers f: permits passage of light & curvature aids focusing process  
🗑
choroid   s: cascular layer covered by sclera f: capillary network delivers 02 & nutrients to tissue within neural tunic  
🗑
ciliary body   s: thickened region bulges into interior its ligaments extend to lens f: supports the lens & controls its shape behind the pupil  
🗑
iris   s: colored part contains blood vessels, pigament cells, & layers of smooth muscle fibers f: changes the diameter of the pupil with muscle fibers  
🗑
retina   outer pigmented layer contains photo-receptors inner nervous tissue layer contains supporting cells & neurons that perform preliminary processing & integration of visual info  
🗑
photoreceptors   rod: allows to see in dimly lit but can't discriminate color cones: give color & sharper images required in intense light  
🗑
optic disc   s: where the optic nerve comes in why? no retina can attach to the spot  
🗑
fovea centralis   site of sharpest vision where we want light to go  
🗑
3 chambers & area   place: between anterior: cornea & iris posterior: iris & lens vitreous: behind lens  
🗑
aqueous humor   location: anterior cavity f: provides transportation for nutrient & waste, forms a fluid cushion, helps retain eye shape, stabilizes position of retinal  
🗑
vitreous humor   location posterior cavity  
🗑
glaucoma   build up of fluid in the eyes because no blood can flow->no O2->effects retina->eventually lose photoreceptors  
🗑
lens   held behind the iris by suspensory ligaments composed of lens fibers surrounded by a capsule focuses light on the retina bulges for near vision & no tension flattens for distant & has tensiion  
🗑
cataract   lens becomes clouded & can happen with general age  
🗑
eyelids   levator palpebrae superioris & orbiculari oculi tarsal glands  
🗑
conjunctiva   protect doesn't allow things to go back in eye layers: palpebral (inner of eyelid) & bulbar  
🗑
conjunctivitis   pink eye  
🗑
lacrimal apparatus   glands: produces tears & enzyme lysozyme & antibodies for antibacterial lacrimal papilla punctum lacrimal canal lacrimal sac nasolacrimal duct  
🗑
extrinsic muscles   lateral rectus- laterally medial rectus- medially superior rectus- up & in inferior rectus- down & in superior oblique- down & out inferior oblique- up & out  
🗑
5 processes required for focusing of light waves & stimulation of photoreceptors   1. light waves in 2. refraction through media 3. accomodation of lens 4. constriction of pupil regulate light into vitreous 5. convergence of eyeballs=acuity  
🗑
transmission of light waves   cornea -> aqueous humor -> lens -> vitreous humor  
🗑
refraction   bending of light waves occurs when light passes @ an angle of one density to another light focuses on the retina upside down & reversed L to R brain fixes  
🗑
structures in refraction & why   cornea- major bender fluids very little effect lens- adjust the shape of your lens to sharpen images by getting them to cross @ fovea ciliary body & smooth muscle adjusters  
🗑
lenses   convex- converge light waves concave- diverge light adjust it  
🗑
myopia   "nearsighted" crosses too far away from retina b/c bend too soon could be lens  
🗑
hyperopia   "farsighted" light waves don't bend very much & don't cross b4 fovea  
🗑
accomodation   automatic adjustment of the curvature of the lens by contraction of the ciliary muscles to focus light waves on retina occurs when objects are viewed closer than 20 ft  
🗑
how lens bulges   ciliary muscles contract & suspensory ligaments are loosened & lens bulges for accomodation  
🗑
presbyopia   accomodation disorder lens loses elasticity & near images focus behind retina old age "nearsight"  
🗑
constriction of pupil   radial- contract bigger/dilate circular- contract smaller/constrict triggered by light intensity & near vision pathways: ~ parasympathetic of circular ~ sympathetic to radial dilate pupil  
🗑
convergence of the eyeballs   eyes rotate medially when viewing close objects with medial rectus light waves entering each eye will focus on the same part of retina  
🗑
amblyopia   lazy eye deviation of one eye no concurrent convergence 2 images perceived by visual cortex  
🗑
retinal pigaments composed by   Vitamin A:orange & red veggies  
🗑
stimulation of photo receptors   photon of light reaches rod pigaments absorbs the light -> retinal & opsin separate from each other -> retinal is converted to original shape with use of ATP -> retinal & opsin comes back together nothing can happen in cell while doing this  
🗑
achromatopsia   color blindness missing certain pigments in cones  
🗑
nyctalopia   night blindness something wrong with the rods usually caused by prolonged deficiency of vitamin A which can permanently damage  
🗑
pathway of vision to brain   photoreceptors -> neurons of retina -> optic nerve -> optic chiasma -> optic tract -> thalmus -> primary visual cortex occipital lobe  
🗑
binocular vision & depth perception   field of vision overlaps when only one eye functions properly depth perception is lost  
🗑
blindness   from same eye so left field = left eye blind  
🗑
auricle is composed of   elastic cartilage skin helix lobe tragus  
🗑
external auditory canal   where ceruminous glands are  
🗑
tympanic membrane   double layer epithelium that can repair self sensory innervation by cranial nerves  
🗑
middle ear   air-filled chamber=tympanic cavity seperated from outer by eardrum inner by round & oval windows  
🗑
eustachian tube   that adjust pressure to equalize pressure on both sides of tympanic membrane  
🗑
ossicles   malleus, incus, & stapes transmit sound waves from tympanic membrane to oval window  
🗑
muscles in ear   tensor tympani attaches to malleus stapedius attaches to stapes involved in reflexes to prevent damage to membranes & receptors  
🗑
inner ear   acts like bicycle tire bony labyrinth contains fluid known as perilymph outer tube membranous labyrinth contains endolymph inner tube vestibule, semicircular canals, cochlea, organ of corti  
🗑
vestibule   bony contains round & oval windows membranous 1. utricle top & saccule little 2. macula contains hair cells which sense gravity & linear movement & change in position of head  
🗑
otoliths   rocks in ear that moves with gravity on top of gel of cilia from macula static  
🗑
semicircular canals   membranous- semicircular ducts ampulla- swellings where ducts connect with utricle crista ampullaris contains hair cells which sense dynamic rapid turns embedded in flat gel called the capula  
🗑
cochlea   chambers: scala vestibuli- upper & continuous with vestibule & scala tympani- lower ends at round window both contain perilymph cochlear duct - middle with endolymph roof: vestibular membrane & floor: basilar membrane  
🗑
organ of corti   in coclear duct along basilar membrane where mechanical impulses converted to nerve impulse sensory cells are hair cells 16,000 embeded on tectorial membrane functional unit of hearing  
🗑
otitis media   middle ear infection usually bacterial some viral tubes put in the membrane to drain fluid  
🗑
conduction deafness   conduction pathway usually b.w tympanic membrane to the oval window sometimes even the fluids or b4 the membrane are effected causes: earwax, infection of middle ear, stuff in ear  
🗑
sensory deafness   something wrong with the receptors cells, craniall nerve VIII temporal lobe anything starting at the receptors to where the perception occurs  
🗑
tinnitus   "ringing in your ears" irritated cells by over stimulation like driving in car for long time  
🗑
smell   location: roof of nasal cavity receptors: chemoreceptors-smell dissolves & can note smell & stimulated by chemicals dissovled in fluids (breathe in gas_  
🗑
olfactory organs   found in the roof of the nasal cavity composed of olfactory receptor cells (bipolar neurons with cilia) surrounded by supporting epithelial cells  
🗑
olfactory pathway   olfactory receptor cells -> through the holes in the ethmoid bone to the olfactory bulb -> olfactory tracts -> medial temporal lobe  
🗑
lesions in olfactory   hallucination usually bad smell  
🗑
