16
Q

Cilliary muscle

A

Connects the iris and lens to the choroid layer, changes the curve of the lens

17
Q

Farsighted (presbyopia)

A

Inability to focus on close objects

18
Q

Nearsighted (myopia)

A

Inability to focus on objects father away

19
Q

Cataracts

A

Lens becomes hard and loses its transparency

20
Q

Retina

A

Contains photoreceptors

21
Q

Cones

A

Day vision

22
Q

Forea centralis

A

Area containing the highest concentration of cones. Red, green & blue

23
Q

Rods

A

Night vision

24
Q

Aqueous humor

A

Watery fluid in front of the lens

25
Q

Glaucoma

A

Drainage gets blocked- internal pressure increases, can lead to blindness

26
Q

Vitreous humor

A

Gel-like substance, pushes the retina against the choroid layer to get blood supply

27

3 parts of the ear

A

outer, middle and inner

28
Q

Auricle (pinna)

A

leads to external acoustic canal

29
Q

A

Snail shaped part of the bone, contains receptors with tiny hairs for hearing

34
Q

Vestibule & semicircular canals

A

Concerned with balance

35
Q

Gustation

A

Taste buds (papillae) use chemoreceptors

36
Q

Type of taste

A

Sour, bitter, salty, sweet, Unami (meat/savory)
