87
Q

Refraction

A

Bending the light
- Ideally light is focused sharply on retina
-More distorted light= more distorted vision

Abt 75% of bending of light is the cornea
25% of bending of the light is the lens

Surgery reshaping the cornea alters refraction.

88
Q

Accomodation of the lens

A
  • Bending of lens by the ciliary muscle to help focus the light
89
Q

internal (inner) ear

104
Q

Auricle

A

The flap of the ear

105
Q

Parts of the external ear

A

auricle (pinna), external auditory canal (meatus), and tympanic membrane (eardrum)

106
Q

Purpose of external ear

A
  • Directs soundwaves into canal (external auditory or medius)
    -Hand to ear increase ear flap directing sound into ear)
107
Q

Ceruminous gland

A

in the external auditory canal secrete cerumen (earwax) to help prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the ear.

108
Q

MIddle ear contatins

A

auditory (Eustachian) tube (connects to throat), auditory ossicles (middle ear bones, the malleus, incus and stapes)- increase frequency of sound coming in , the oval window connects to the cochlea, and the round window.

109
Q

Tensor tympanny muscle

A

attatched to tympanny (ear drum) – limits how much ear drum vibrates , protecting it from loud sounds

110
Q

Stupidious muscl

A

attatches to stapes and oval window and protects how much the stapes vibrates

111
Q

What could loud sounds close to ear cause?

A
  • Loud sounds close to ear can damage ear drum and stapes
112
Q

The internal ear also called the

A

Labyrinth because of its complicated series of canals.

113
Q

What is the middle ear?

A

is a small, air-filled cavity in the temporal bone that is lined by epithelium(basement membrane and cells).

114
Q

What is the bony labyrinth

A

a series of cavities in the petrous portion of the temporal bone.

115
Q

What is perilymph

A

Similar to CSF helps set up health and conduct electrical impulses, surrounds membranous labbyrinth

116
Q

What is the membranous labyrinth?

A

The membranous labyrinth is a series of sacs and tubes enclosed within the bony labryth and having the same general form as the bony labyrinth.

Lined with epithelium
Contains endolymph

117
Q

What do Utricle and vestibule help with?

A

Balance and equillibirum

118
Q

What is the vestibule

A

The vestibule constitutes the oval portion of the bony labyrinth. The membranous labyrinth in the vestibule consists of two sacs called the utricle and saccule.

119
Q

What two sacs does the vestibule contain?

A

utricle and saccule.

120
Q

scala vestibuli

A

A channel of the cochlea above the bony partition is the scala vestibuli, which ends at the oval window.

121
Q

scala tympani

A

The channel of the cochlea below is the scala tympani, which ends at the round window. The scala vestibuli and scala tympani both contain perilymph and are completely separated except at an opening at the apex of the cochlea called the helicotrema.

122
Q

Cochlear duct

A

The third channel of the cochlea (Scala media) separated from the scala tymapni by the vestibular membrane

123
Q

Sound waves result from

A

result from the alternate compression and decompression of air molecules.

124
Q

Pitch is

A

Frequency of sound vibration

125
Q

Cochlear branch of vestibocochlear nerve goes to

A

The medulla

126
Q

What happens to hair cells when they get damaged

A

No longer generate RPs like they should

127
Q

Normal conversation tone is how many Hz

A

60 Hz

128
Q

Physiology of hearing (pathway)

A

1) The auricle directs sound waves into the external auditory canal.

2) Sound waves strike the tympanic membrane, causing it to vibrate back and forth

^ Outer ear

3) The vibration conducts from the tympanic membrane through the ossicles (through the malleus to the incus and then to the stapes).

4) The stapes moves back and forth, pushing the membrane of the oval window in and out.

^ MIDDLE EAR

5)  The movement of the oval window sets up fluid pressure waves in the perilymph of the cochlea (scala vestibuli).

6)  Pressure waves in the scala vestibuli are transmitted to the scala tympani and eventually to the round window, causing it to bulge outward into the middle ear.

7) As the pressure waves deform the walls of the scala vestibuli and scala tympani, they push the vestibular membrane back and forth and increase and decrease the pressure of the endolymph inside the cochlear duct.

8) The pressure fluctuations of the endolymph move the basilar membrane slightly, moving the hair cells of the spiral organ against the tectorial membrane; the bending of the hairs produces receptor potentials that lead to the generation of nerve impulses in cochlear nerve fibers. ^ INNER EAR

9) Pressure changes in the scala tympani cause the round window to bulge outward into the middle ear. (Cochlea (lower channel) ends at the round window.)
129
Q

Differences in heard pitch is related to

A

differences in the width and stiffness of the basilar membrane and sound waves of various frequencies that cause specific regions of the basilar membrane to vibrate more intensely than others.

130
Q

Where do High-frequency or high-pitched sounds cause the basilar membrane to vibrate?

A

near the base of the cochlea.

131
Q

Where do Low-frequency or low-pitched sounds cause the basilar membrane to vibrate?

A

Near apex of the cochlea.

132
Q

How to hair cells act as receptors?

A

convert a mechanical force (stimulus) into an electrical signal (receptor potential); hair cells release neurotransmitter, which initiates nerve impulses

133
Q

Describe the auditory nerve pathway

A

Nerve impulses from the cochlear branch of the vestibulocochleor nerve pass to the cochlear nuclei in the medulla. Here, most impulses cross to the opposite side and then travel to the midbrain, to the thalamus, and finally to the auditory area of the temporal lobe of the cerebral cortex.

134
Q

Cochlear implant

A

devices that translate sounds into electronic signals that can be interpreted by the brain.

135
Q

Static equilibrium

A

refers to the maintenance of the position of the body (mainly the head) relative to the force of gravity.
