Anatomy Lecture final Flashcards
1
Q

A
- Cones = light
- Rods = darkness
[think of traffic cones, little light makes them really visible]
2
Q

- Fibrous tunic (outer layer)
- Sclera
- Cornea
- Vascular tunic (middle/inner layer)
- Choroid
- Ciliary Body
- Iris
- Neural tunic (innermost layer)
- Retina

[add more details for each structure]
4
Q
How does olfaction work?
A
- Odorant molecules are breathed into the nose
- At the superior nasal conchae, these odorant molecules are dissolved in mucus
- In this mucus, Olfactory (bipolar) neurons carry the signal through the ethmoid bone to the Mitral cells
- The Mitral cell axons form the olfactory tract, and they carry the signal to different parts of the brain
5
Q

Q
How does hearing work?
A
- Sound waves enter through ear canal
- The tympanic membrane vibrates the malleus, incus, and stapes bones
- Stapes vibrates sounds through the oval window to the inner ear (cochlea)
- Vibrations cause the fluid in the cochlea to move
- Cochlea hairs create neural signal
- Auditory nerve signals are sent to the brain where they are interpreted as sound
13

- Blood enters the Aorta
- Aortic semilunar valve

38
How does Audition (hearing) work?
[in depth if you can]
* Auricle of the ear funnels sound into the **External ear**
* The _tympanic membrane_ (at the inner end of the ext. ear canal) vibrates
* This vibration pushes on the _Malleus, Incus and Stapes_ of the **Middle ear**
* The stapes is mated to the oval window, which transfers it's vibrations to the fluid of the _Scala Vestibuli_ (perilymph) in the **Inner ear**
* Perilymph bends the membrane of the _Cochlear Duct._
* The endolymph in the Cochelar duct pushes on the _Tectorial Membrane of the Organ of Corti_, which pushes on hair cells that are hooked up to the _Vestibulocochlear Nerve VIII._
* The Scala Vestibuli perilymph continues, wrapping around the cochlear duct, turning into the _Scala Tympani_ until it reaches the Round window. By this time, a complete set of sound waves have been received.
