A1 - ear + smell Flashcards
outer ear
collects + funnels sound
middle ear
amplifies sound waves
inner ear
creates nerve impulses (fluid filled)
pinna
outer portion, funnels sound in auditory canal
auditory canal
collects sound waves & channels towards ear drum
tympanic membrane (ear drum)
conducts sound to 3 tiny bones (ossicles)
eustachian tube
used to equalize both sides of ear drum
vestubular nerve
carries info about balance
cochlear nerve
caries info about hearing
ossicles
transmits sound through middle ear, 3rd tiny bone transmits vibrations to fluid filled cochlea
cochlea
3 canals with vibrating fluid + hair cells, sound causes it to send impulse to brain
auditory nerve
collects sound waves & channels ear drum
semi-circular canal
body movement + fluid movement = bending of cilia = initiates nerve impulse
smell
controlled by olfactory cells, 5 cilia for receptor proteins for odour molecules
diabetes mellitis
melitus 1 - no production insulin
melitus 2 - doesn’t process insulin
diabetes insipidus
