Ch. 18 Lec 3 - General & Special Senses Flashcards
three ossicles
malleus, incus, stapes
bones in the middle ear that transfer vibrations from the tympanic membrane to inner ear
ossicles
middle ear muscle that inserts on the malleus
tensor tympani
middle ear muscle that inserts on the stapes
stapedius
part of ear that is a series of tubes and cavities
inner ear
two sections of the inner ear
vestibule (balance), cochlea (hearing)
inner ear layer that contains endolymph fluid
membranous labyrinth
inner ear layer that is the dense bone layer of the temporal and contains perilymph fluid
bony (osseous) labyrinth
structure that converts vibrations to sound
cochlea
cochlea contacts the stapes at the blank
oval window
three ducts of the cochlea
scala vestibuli, scala media, scala tympani
scala vestibuli is divided by the blank
vestibular membrane
scala media is divided by the blank
basilar membrane
organ of corti is found on the blank
basilar membrane
three parts of the organ of corti
hair cells, cranial nerve 8, tectorial membrane
mechanoreceptors with stereocilia in the organ of corti
hair cells
cochlear branch contacts hair cells in the organ of corti
cranial nerve 8
positioned right above hair cell stereocilia in the organ of corti
tectorial membrane
when the oval window vibrates, the blank moves
perilymph
the cochlear branch of blank carries auditory sensations
cranial nerve 8
auditory sensations go to the blank, then travels to through the blank, then is processed in the blank
medulla, thalamus, auditory cortex of temporal lobe
high sounds are detected by blank parts of cochlea
large
low sounds are detected by blank parts of cochlea
small
three parts of the vestibule
semicircular canals, utricle, saccule
the semicircular canals surround the semicircular blank
ducts
semicircular canals have a blank at base
ampulla
each ampulla has a blank which attaches to a cupula
cristae
a blank is in the utricle/saccule
maculae
the blank has hair cells
cupula
when head is rotated, fluid moves through blank and fluid moves the blank so the hair cells stereocilia blanks, then blank occurs
canals, cupula, bends, depolarization
the maculae consists of these two things
hair cells, otoliths
small calcium carbonate crystals that is in a gel like substance
otolith
when head orientation changes, gravity pulls on blank which moves blank which deforms hair cell blank and blank occurs
statoconia, otolith, stereocilia, depolarization
eyelids are also known as blank
palpebrae
eyelids functions are to
protect/lubricate
two parts of eyelids
tarsal glands, conjunctiva
oily secretions keep lids from sticking together in eyelid
tarsal gland
thin protective mucus membrane of eyelid
conjunctiva
two parts of conjunctiva
palpebral, bulbar
the conjunctiva stops at blank edge
corneal
produces tears
lacrimal apparatus
lacrimal apparatus consists of these three things
lacrimal gland, lacrimal punctum, lacrimal canaliculi
produces tears
lacrimal gland
drain tears in the lacrimal canaliculi
lacrimal punctum
three layers of eye
fibrous tunic, vascular tunic, neural tunic
two parts of fibrous tunic
sclera, cornea
white of eye and is dense and irregular ct
sclera
transparent layer of eye
cornea
three parts of vascular tunic
iris, choroid, lens
smooth muscles and pigments and controls size of pupil
iris
vascularized pigmented layer
choroid
layered proteins and refracts light
lens
vascular tunic regulates amount of blank
light
vascular tunic controls shape of blank
lens
neural tunic has these cells
receptor, bipolar, ganglion, amacrine
rods and cones that detect light are blank cells
receptor
neurons that synapse with receptor cells
bipolar neurons
cells that modulate communication between bipolar and ganglion cells
amacrine
these are very light sensitive and can not see color
rods
rods require blank light than cones
less
for color vision
cones
cones give blank image
sharper
there are blank types of cones
three
three regions of the retina
mucula lutea, fovea centralis, optic disc
area of no rods
macula lutea
area of most cones within macula
fovea centralis
blind spot
optic disc
two cavities of eye
anterior, posterior
posterior cavity contains blank fluid
vitreous
anterior cavity has blank fluid
aqueous
