Q

3 steps of olefactory transmission?

A
  1. Axons travel past cribiform plate/ ethmoid bone to reach olefactory bulb
  2. synpase w/ mitral cell to form olefcatory tract
  3. olefactory tract goes to limbic system and olefactory cortex

Q

Pathway of taste through facial nerves

16
Q

What is conjunctivia

A

transparent membrane that lines eyelid as palabrea conjuctivia and covers whites of eyes as occular conjuctivia

17
Q

What is conjuctivitis

A

Pink eye

18
Q

What is the cilliary body?

A

fine focus, less than 20 ft
as muscles relax, lens gets rounder
connected to cillilary zonule (which inserts into lens)

19
Q

Label eye

A

LABEL

20
Q

What is the palebrae?

A

eyelids, palpebral fissure seperates eyelids
levator palpabrae superioris (elevates) , tarsal plates supports eyelid

21
Q

What part of eye is important for focus?

A

cornea shape is important for focus, not lens which looses elasticity with age

22
Q

Scleral venus sinus

A

point of transistion between white and iris

23
Q

Lens moves what way for vision?

A

flattens for distant, bulges for close

24
Q

Constrictor/ dialtor pupillae

A

Constrict/ dialate pupil (under PNS)

25
Q

6 steps in production of tears

A

1- lacrimal gland produces secretions
2- tears enter conjuctivial sac
3- tears flow upper left to lower right
4- tears enter lacrimal cannuli
5- drain into lacrimal sac
6- Empty via nasal-lacrimal duct

26
Q

What is the optic disc

A

lots of ganglion cells, exit eye and go to thalamus

27
Q

blindspot

A

No light absorption due to high density of myleinated axons and no photoreceptors

28
Q

what gives blood supply to eye?

A

central artery and vein of retina

29
Q

emmertropic, myopic, hyperopic?

A

normal, nearsighted (long eyeball), hyperopic (far sighted (short eyeball)

30
Q

what are ganglion cell axons?

A

run along inner surface of retina and leave as optic @ optic disc

31
Q

What is the Macula lutea?

A

High density of photoreceptors, center. of fovea centrialis (highest concentration of cones)
max light density area

32
Q

Rod vs cone cell:?

A

rod- 1 cell for one pigment (black/ white)
cone- 3 different cells for different pigments (red/ green/ blue)

33
Q

What is rhodospin?

A

photosensitive protein in retina that bends of cause confromational change

34
Q

How does rhodopsin work?

A

more cis retinal (bent) in produced in the dark
in light retinol is bleached into all- transform (straight)
- this dissaction causes g protein reaction via oxidation

35
Q

Dark vs light eye channels

A

Dark Light
Depolarize Hyperpolarize
Ca channels open ca channels closed
IPSP, No Nt No NT, No ISPS
No ESPS NT released
No AP ESPS in ganglion
AP
