Q

photoreceptor layer is

A

one w rods and cones

22
Q

the rods are

A

located on periphery in photoreceptor layer and for night vision

23
Q

the cones are

A

concentrated near centre of photoreceptor layer have the fovea centralis w most accurate and colour vision

24
Q

Pupil is

A

opening in front of eye, not structure just a hole

25
Q

Adaptation is

A

the pupil dilating and constricting

26
Q

The lens is

A

behind pupil, focusing light on retina

27
Q

accomodation is

A

lens changing shape based on if objects are near or far to see tgem better

28
Q

aqueous humour is

A

the liquid clear thing infront of cornea maintaining its shape

29
Q

Vitreous humour is

A

liquid in eyeball maintaining its shape

30
Q

the blind spot is the

A

optic disc

31
Q

you want the most light

A

in the fovea centralis where there are the most cones

32
Q

the optic nerve and optic disc

A

takes the message to the brain and is the blind spot w no rods or cones

33
Q

vision pathway

A

cornea>pupil>lens>photoreceptors>retina>occipital lobe via optic nerve

34
Q

Myopia is

A

nearsightedness, inability to see objects at a distance

eyeball is elongated so focused light falls in front of retina

35
Q

Hyperopia is

A

farsightedness, inability to see close objects

eyeball is shortend so focused light falls behind the retina

36
Q

colourblindness is

A

a generic condition affecting the cones caused by the lack of specific cones or colour receptors

37
Q

Pinna is the

A

squishy outer ear part that direct sound waves to auditory canal

38
Q

tympanic membrane or tympanum is the

A

ear drum, where sound waves strike and vibrations are passed on

39
Q

Outer ear includes

A

the pinna and ear/auditory canal

40
Q

Middle ear includes

A

ear drum or tympanic membrane and 3 ossicles/bones; stapes incus and malleus

41
Q

the ossicles are

A

the 3 bones in middle ear

42
Q

the inner ear includes

A

cochlear, semicircular canals , vestibular nerve, facial nerve, auditory nerve and organ of corti

43
Q

Organ of corti is

A

organ in inner ear within cochlea where sound is tuned to action potential after hairs inside are stimulated by pressure change in ear

44
Q

cochlear is

A

the shell looking thing in ear containing organ of cori and hairs generating action potential to be sent to temporal lobe

45
Q

structures of ear not associated w hearing are

A

semicircular canals and eustachean tube

46
Q

Semicircular canals are

A

part of brain filled w fluid where pressure change causes waves to maintain balance

47
Q

the eustachean tube is

A

one connecting eats with throat allowing air pressure to equalize

48
Q

chemoreceptors for taste are

A

on the tongue and send impulses to parietal lobe

49
Q

chemoreceptors for smell are

A

in the nasal cavity known as olfactory cells and transmit signals to olfaction bulb in the brain

50
Q

proprioception is

A

perception of movement and body position in space(muscles)

51
Q

mechanoreceptors are

A

associated w hearing with fluctuations in air pressure (sound waves) , they convert energy of sound into electrochemical impedance to brain and balance through converting the energy of liquid movement into electrochemical impulses
