Sensory Flashcards
Sensory system pathwsy
action-> afferent-> cortical processing
Optic array
pattern of light reaches point of observation (gets projected on to retina)
what changes lens shape
cillary body
fovea is how much of eye
10% of retina (high density of cones)
peripheral vision %
80%, responds to low light, low cone density
Geniculostriate pathway
retina->LGN->optic radiations (cortex)
2 visual processing pathways
Dorsal- magnocellular- motion, loca, temporal resolutio
Ventral- Parvocellular- colour, form, spacial resolution
Occulomotor
trochlear
abducens
what do they innervate
o- Superior/inferior/medial rectus, superior oblique
t-inferior oblique
a- lateral mvmt, lateral rectus
What do semicircular and otolith organs detect
semi- angular motion
otolith- linear acceleration
Where are hair cells located and what does the fluid do in motion
in cupula
-endolymph moves in opposition to head rotation
what does hair cells do when in motion
towards kinocilium= excitation
away= hyperpolarization
what does the posterior column medial lemniscus do
-relays sensory info to somatosensory cortex
