ANATOMY OF THE EYE; FIBROUS TUNIC
CORNEA
SCLERA
ANATOMY OF THE EYE; VASCULAR TUNIC
CILIARY BODY
CHOROID
IRIS
PUPIL
Admits and refracts (bends) light.
Cornea
Regulates amount of light that enters eyeball.
Iris
Secretes aqueous humor and alters shape of lens for near or far vision (accommodation).
Ciliary body
Provides blood supply and absorbs scattered light
Choroid
Roceives light and coenerts it into gooptor potentials and nerve-impulse. Output to brain vial axoes of ganglion cells, which form optic (Il) nerve.
Retina
Refracts light.(Binding of light)
Lens
Contains aqueous humor that helps maintain shape of eyeball and supplies oxygen and nutrients to lens and cornea.
Anterior cavity
Contains vitreous body that helps maintain shape of eyeball and keeps retina attached to choroid.
Vitreous chamber
Visual pathway
Optic (Il) nerve
Optic chiasm
Optic tract
Lateral geniculate nucleus of thalamus
Optic radiation
Primary visual area of cerebral cortex (area 17) in occipital lobe

DACRYOCYSTOGRAPHY
Assess:
1. Flow
2. Obstruction
3. Epiphora:excessive tearing
4. Stenotic segments
surround gustatory receptor cells
Supporting cells
Taste nerve
GUSTATORY
RECEPTOR CELL
produces supporting cells that becomes gustatory receptor cell .
Basal Cells
Tracts the taste
Gustatory Hair
V-shaped; back of the tongue; 100-300 taste buds
Circumvallate
Mushroom; entire surface of tongue; 5 taste buds
Fungiform
Leaf-like; lateral
margins; most taste buds
degenerate in early
childhood
Foltate
thread-like structures contains tactile receptors but no taste buds(mastication or chewing)
Filiform
Gastatory pathway:1st
Taste Receptors: Taste buds on the tongue contain taste receptor cells
Gastatory pathway:2nd
Cranial Nerves: Sensory neurons from the taste buds transmit signals to the brain via cranial nerves VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), and X (vagus).
