SPECIAL SENSES PART 1 Flashcards
Made up of the eyeball specialized for its ability to react to light
Visual apparatus
Protects the delicate inner structures of the eye and with the intraocular pressure maintain the shape and turgor of the eyeball
Fibrous coat
Parts of the fibrous coat
Cornea and sclera
Transparent anterior 1/6 of the fibrous coat
Cornea
Opaque posterior 5/6 of the fibrous coat
Sclera
Transparent fibrous coat covering the colored part of the eyes which is the iris
Cornea
Slightly thicker than sclera with refractive power two times as high as the lens
Cornea
Avascular in the Central Part depends on diffusion from aqueous humor for its nourishment
Cornea
One of the few organs that can be successfully transplanted without rejection from the host
Cornea
Mainly made up of densely pack collagenous fibers type 1 collagen fibrils were tendons of extraocular muscles are attached
Sclera
Pierced by optic nerve ciliary nerves and blood vessels
Sclera
Concerned with nutrition of retina and production of aqueous humor
Provides mechanisms of accommodation of the eyes for near vision and control of amount of light entering the eye
Vascular and muscular coat or UVEA
Parts of the vascular and muscular coat
Choroid
Ciliary body
Iris
Middle coat of the eye and is blood rich nutritive tunic that contains a dark pigment that prevents light from scattering inside the eye
Choroid
A thickening of the vascular tunic which connects choroid with circumference of the iris
Ciliary body
With ciliary muscle for accommodation and with ciliary process producing aqueous humor
Ciliary body
When ciliary muscle_ The lens become more convex
Contracts
Heavily pigmented colored part of the eye which acts like a diaphragm with a central opening called pupil
Iris
Controls the amount of lights going to the retina which is part of the iris
Smooth muscle
It rest on anterior surface of the lens and thus it separates the anterior chamber from the posterior chamber
It’s mean mass consist of loose pigmented highly vascular connective tissue
Iris
What are the two smooth muscles under iris
Spinster pupillae
Dilator pupillae
Circumferentially koriented fibers constriction of pupils parasympathetic
Sphincter pupillae
Really oriented fibers deletion of pupils sympathetic
Dilator pupillae
It is the retina
Nervous coat
