Explain the Nature of the Middle Ear
It is a semi sealed, air filled, mucous-membrane-lined area of the ear. It contains the Malleus, Incus and the Stapes. These ossicles transmit and amplify sound from the tempanic membrane through to the oval window. Tensor Tympani and stapedius muscles dampen vibration. The only opening is via the Auditory tube/Eustachian Tube which leads down to the nasopharynx allowing equalisation.

Endolymph
69
If you move your head where is this movement detected?
In the Semicircular canals at the Ampulla (little bulges at the end of each semicircular canal) The movement is detected by the fluid in the amoulla pushing or pulling on the Crista which is contained withing each Ampulla

75
Explain the Structure of the Ampullae
76
What is the Cupula?
The Gelatinous mass inside the Ampullae that the Receptor Hair cells extend into to
77
What are the hairs in the Cupula called What is the longest hair called?
Stereocilia. Kinocilium
78
What part of the Vestibular Apparatus detects linear accelerations (Fwd and Back & Up and Down)
The Saccule and Utricle
79
What direction of movement does the Saccule detect?
Linear Movement Up and Down Due to the Saccular Macula orientated vertically
80
What part of the Vestibular system will dectect movement forward or backwards?
The Utricle via the utriclar macula which is oriented horizontally
81
How does movement get transduced into electrical signals in the Vestibular System
As the Stereocilia is pushed towards the Kinocilium Potassium Gated Channels (TRPA1 Channels) are opened allowing Potassium to rush into the Hair Cell causing depolerisation. If the Stereocilia is pushed the other way the Mechanically gated Channels close and hyperpolerisation happens
82
IN the Vestibular Apperatus the hairs move due to the endolymph fluid moves the Cupula, however this is not the case within the Utricular Macula. What causes the hairs to move and theirfor fire the action Potentials?
Otoconia sitting on a Otolithic membrane gelatinous layer moves (with gravitational pull) bending the hairs
83
List the 4 main targets to which signals from Crainial Nerve VIII (Vestibulocochlear) project
84
Explain the Vestibulo-ocular reflex
during head movement by producing eye movements in the direction opposite to head movement, thus preserving the image on the center of the visual field
85
Explain the sequence of events that occurs in Physiologic Nystagmus
86
Explain the function and pathway of the vestibulo-cervical reflex
The Medial vestibulospinal tractmediates the vistibulo-cervical reflex.
87
Explain the Function and pathway of the Vestibulo-Spinal Reflex
Mediated by the Lateral Vestibulospinal tract, coordinating limb, trunk and head movements in responce to vestibular signals Faciliatory to ipsilateral neurons of extensors on onside but inhibitrally to the contralateral extensors on the other..
88

89
What is Ataxia
Ataxia is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements that includes gait abnormality.
90
Unilateral Vestibular Disease produces abnormal posture and Ataxia. What is the reason for the concavity towards the affected side?
91

92

93
1. What type of Vison does Cones allow for? 2. What type of vision does Rods allow for?
1. Colour Vision 2. Black and White Vision
94
95
Explain how retinal receptors convert light energy into electrical activity
In rods the is Rhodopsin and there is cGMP, along with cGMP gated Sodium channels meaning in the dark rods are in a state of Depolarization. When light hits the Rhodopsin it splits it starting a chain reaction which in turn changes the cGMP to just GMP, which then closes the cGMP Gated Channels. Potassiumj is still rushing out but no Na+ can enter the cell which hyperpolarizes the cell.
96
Name the 3 structures in the brain other than the visual cortex, to which the signals from the eyes project. Describe the function associated with each projection/structure
1. **Hypothalamus** - Regulation of circadian rhythms 2. **Pretectum** - Reflex control of pupil and lens 3. **Superior Colliculus** - Orienting the movements of head and eyes
