Myopia

Answer 5

Nearsighted
Light from distant objects is focused in front of retina
Cause: eyeball too long, lens too strong, cornea too curved

Emmetropia

Answer 6

“Normal vision”

Lens focussing light on retina

Question 7

Hyperopia

Answer 7

Farsighted
Light from distant object focused behind retina
Cause: eyeball too short, “lazy lens”
Correction: need convex correction lenses

Green/red light (red cones)

Question 12

Order of light as it passes through the eye

Answer 12

Cornea-pupil-iris-lens-vitreous humor-retina-electrical impulses-optic nerve-brain

Question 18

Pinna/auricle

Answer 18

Collects and directs sound

Question 19

External auditory canal

Answer 19

Channels the sound waves towards middle ear
Lined w/ ceruminous glands
-secrete cerumen (earwax)

Question 20

Tympanic membrane/eardrum

Answer 20

Vibrates when sound waves hit it

Separates the outer and middle ear

Middle ear/tympanic cavity

Answer 21

In temporal bone
Auditory tube
Ossicles
Malleus(hammer)
Incus (anvil)
Stapes (stirrup)

Question 22

Auditory tube

Answer 22

Connects middle ear to throat
Normally closed opens when swallowing
Used to equalize pressure to outside ear
Popping equalizes pressure

Question 23

Otitis media

Answer 23

Middle ear infection
Sore throats bc auditory tube runs horizontally
Bulging and inflammed eardrum
Antibiotics

Question 24

Ossicles

Answer 24

Three bones in middle ear

transmit vibrations from tympanic membrane to fluid of inner ear

Question 25

Order of three bones

Answer 25

Malleus passes vibration to incus
Incus to stapes
Stapes to oval window of inner ear

Answer 29

Equilibrium area
Filled with perilymph (plasmalike fluid)
Has membranous labyrinth
Has thicker fluid endolymph

Question 30

Types of receptors

Answer 30
