eyes,nose and ears Flashcards
COMPONENTS OF THE EYE
CONJUNCTIVA
STRATIFIED SQUAMOS EPITHELIUM
COVERS ANTERIOR SURFACE OF EYE
LENS
FOCUSING MECHANISM
fibrous tunic - outer layer
sclera - white part of eye. DICT
cornnea - DICT. does not change shape
vascular tunic - middle layer
choroid coat - LCT feeds and protects retina
ciliary body - ciliary muscle
iris - sits anterior to lens. opening in this muscular ring is the pupil
function of the iris
pupil - dark spot center of eye. allowes light to pass to the lens of the eye
sphincter pupillae muscle -
S:controled bu parasympathetic nervous system
F: decreases size of pupil
dilator pupillae muscle -
S:Controled by sympathetic nervous system
F: increases size of pupil
order of light intering eye
conjunctiva classy cornea chickens pupil pass lens lame retina roosters
internal tunic or retina
transducer cells live in retina
rods - black,white and gray
cones - color
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF EAR
2 functions
sound reception - hearing cochlear divison
equilibrium - balance - vestibular divison
3 divisons of ear
external ear - collect sound waves and pass them inside
middle ear - air filled cavity within the tempral bone
inner ear - fluid filled cavity within the tempral bone
MIDDLE EAR ANATOMY
tympanic cavity- amplify the sound waves that enter the ear
tympanic membrane - ear drum - seperates middle and external ear
pharyngotympanic,auditory tube or eustachian tube
regulates air pressure tympanic cavity
seperates the pharynx and tympanic
muscles of the middle ear
dampen sudden sound waves
cochlear division of inner ear has to do with
sound
vestubular division of the inner ear has to do with
balance or equilibrium
saccule and utricle has to do with
linear motion
semicircular ducts has to do with
angular ecceleration
