A

Lacrimal sac

21
Q

Receives fluid from lacrimal sac; drains fluid into nasal cavity

A

Nasolacrimal duct

22
Q

Inflammation and reddening of the conjunctiva “pink eye” due to viral infection, bacterial infections, allergens, chemicals, irritants.

A

Conjuctivitis

23
Q

3 principal layers of the eye

A

Fibrous tunic, vascular tunic and neural tunic.

24
Q

Tough connective tissue layer of the eye

A

Fibrous tunic

25

26
Q

Nervous tissue layer of the eye

A

Neural tunic

27
Q

What do the ciliary processes secrete

A

Aqueous humor

28
Q

Location on the retina called the optic disc where ganglion axons form the optic nerve and exit eye toward brain; no photoreceptors present to detect vision.

A

blind spot

29
Q

Outer pigmented and inner neural layers separate due to head trauma; symptoms of flashes of light, decreased vision.

A

Detached retina

30
Q

Deterioration of macula lutes, often due to diabetes, hypertension or eye trauma; diminished color perception, loss of visual clarity in center of visual field.

A

Macular degeneration

Part of the ear for equilibrium; detects gravity and acceleration of equilibrium.

A

Vestibule

35
Q

Part of the ear that detects rotation of equilibrium; 3 “rings” called superior, posterior, and lateral canals; ampullae at base of each canal contains receptor cells

A

Semicircular canals

Made up of 3 bones

A

Auditory ossicles

39
Q

Part of ear that attaches to stapes

A

40
Q

Part of ear that attaches to malleus

A

46
Q

Houses the organ of Corti, structures for hearing

A

Cochlear duct

47
