25
Q

function of astrocytes

A

maintain blood-brain barrier by stimulating endothelial cells

26
Q

function of microglia

A

microphages – clear cellular debris and dead neurons. Defenders

27
Q

function of ependymal

A

forms epithelial lining of ventricles

lining for the CSF

28
Q

function of oligodendrocytes

A

support and insulate axons

myelin sheath for the CNS

29
Q

superior sagittal sinus

A

dural sinus that collects brain blood in falx cerebri

30
Q

arachnoid granulations (or arachnoid villi)

A

penetrate meningeal layer of dura mater into superior sagittal sinus

allows drainage of CSF into venous circulation

31
Q

lateral rectus: function

A

moves lateral

32
Q

medial rectus: function

A

moves medial

33
Q

superior rectus: function

A

elevates and turns medial

34
Q

inferior rectus: function

A

depresses and turns medial

35
Q

superior oblique tendon: function

A

depresses and turns medial

36
Q

inferior oblique: function

A

elevates and turns medial

37
Q

flow of tears from the site of production to the arrival in the nasal cavity

A

lacrimal gland releases lacrimal secretions

moves across eye

drain through lacrimal puncta into pairs lacrimal canaliculi

drain into lacrimal sac

drains into nasolacrimal duct into nasal cavity

38
Q

tapetum lucidum: function

A

reflective tissue

reflects visible light back through the retina, increasing the light available to the photoreceptors

39
Q

describe what is found in the pigmented and neural layer of the retina

and what the main function of each layer is

A

pigmented layer absorb light and prevent it from scattering throughout the eye. Stores Vit A for photoreceptors

neural layer contains photorecptors (rods and cones) which create the electrical events for vision processing

40
Q

what is osseous labyrinth

A

internal ear:

vestibule

cochlea

semicircular canals

41
Q

from the time that sound waves enter the ear all the way through the stimulation of the bipolar sensory neurons

A

sound waves in air

hits eardrum

eardrum vibration pushes chain of ossicle bones

stapes presses on oval window

internal ear fluid pushes on membranes

membrane movement distort hair cells

hair cells stimulate sensory neurons

neurons generate impulse to occipital lobe

42
Q

what is otitis media

A

mucosal membranes of middle ear cavity and nasopharynx are connected through pharyngotympanic tube

inflammation of middle ear

young kids with sore throats

43
Q

lacrimal caruncle produces _____

A

oil slick secretions

sleepers

44
Q

what is sty

A

infection of one of sebaceous glands

45
Q

what is conjunctivitis

A

inflammation of conjunctiva

46
Q

the conjunctiva contains many ____ _____

A

blood vessels

47
Q

this separates the two fluid filled cavities in the eye

48
Q

two layers of retina and function

A

pigmented layer (absorbs light)

neural layer (light into nerve impulses)

49
Q

does the optic disc have any photoreceptors?

A

no the optic disc does not have any photoreceptors

blind spot

50
Q

are there more rods or more cones

51
Q

function of rods

A

dim light vision

no color no sharpness

52
Q

function of cones

A

color and sharpness

53
Q

what is visual acuity

54
Q

3 layers of neurons in retina

A

photoreceptors (outer)

bipolars (middle)

ganglions (inner)

55
Q

steps of how we see

A

light hits back of eye and excites

photoreceptors

bipolar

ganglion

optic nerve

occipital lobe

processing

56
Q

function of auricle

A

directs sound

57
Q

function of hair cells

A

receptors for hearing

58
Q

what’s the reflective crap in the cow eye called

A

tapetum lucidum

tape tum luci dum

59
Q

double vision is called

60
Q

what controls shape of lens

A

ciliary body

61
Q

what secretes wax

A

ceruminous glands
