| 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 |
