ch. 6 sensory sys: opthamology and otolaryngology Flashcards

1
Q

brain

A

receives sensory information (sight, sound,
smell), processes it, and integrates it into one
experience.
Sensory organs and cells are located throughout the
body.

Q

Eye

A 
 The major function of the eye is to provide sight.
 Sits in a bony socket
 The socket protects the eye.

Ears

A

turn sound into electrical signals
 Ears collect sounds.
 They turn energy created from sound waves into
electrical signals.
 Signals are sent to the brain which interprets the
signals into hearing.

Q

3 div of ear

A

There are three divisions of the ear: outer, middle, and
inner.
Outer ear
 Pinna
 Ear canal
The tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates the outer
ear from the middle ear.
The middle ear starts at the tympanic membrane.
It is a space that contains tiny bones.
 Incus, malleus, and stapes
These tiny bones carry the vibrations from the tympanic
membrane to the inner ear

28
Cochlea
The inner ear begins with the entrance to the cochlea. The cochlea is a bony shell filled with fluid and hair. When sound waves are transferred to the fluid within the cochlea, the fluid moves and vibrates tiny hairs attached to a membrane. The tiny hairs vibrate, creating electrical signals that travel down the acoustic nerve to the brain.
29
Vestibular System
``` The ear helps maintain balance  Canals filled with fluid and hair  Sends information to the brain about the tilt, rotation, and motion of the head  This allows the brain to coordinate movement with the eyes. ```
30
Labyrinth/o
labyrinth, cochlea and vestibular system

Vestibul/o
vestibule, area in front of semicircular canals (3 diff plane orientations)
