29
What does the cornea protect ? What does it do
protects the lens
| starts the process of focusing light to the back of the eye
30
What makes up the choroid layer
lens, iris, & ciliary muscles
31
Lens
bends the light rays
32
iris
colored area, controls size of pupil
33
ciliary muscles
attach to lens & bend it for focusing
34
What is the retina?
- Deepest layer of the eye
- Contains cells that turn into electric signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve
- interprets electrical signals as sight
35
What is the Vitreous Humor?
Thick, jelly-like fluid that fills posterior cavity (behind the lens) of the eye
-functions to keep eye in sphere-like shape & bend light rays

47
What do the ears do?
collect sound waves, which in turn vibrate structures within the ear. The vibrations are changed into electrical signals within nerves. The acoustic nerve sends these electrical signals to the brain. The brain interprets these signals as sound.

61
What are the 3 division of the ear
Outer, middle, ear
62
What makes up the outer ear
Pinna
ear canal
Tympanic membrane (eardrum) separates outer from middle ear
63
what separates outer from middle ear
tympanic membrane (ear drum)
64
Pinna
fleshy portion of outside ear shaped like a funnel which helps collect sound from air & send down the ear canal
65
Middle Ear
Starts at Tympanic membrane
| incus, malleus & stapes
66
what are the 3 middle ear bones (auditory ossicles) & function
incus
malleus
stapes
carry vibrations from tympanic membrane to inner ear
67
cerumin/o

creation of opening in ear drum
75
myringotomy
incision into ear drum
76
mastoid/o
mastoid process
77
mastoiditis
inflammation of mastoid process
78
Inner Ear
The inner ear has a bony outer shell. The shell is filled with fluid that surrounds a fluid-filled membrane.
Sound waves are transferred to the fluid, which then vibrates tiny hairs. The vibration of the tiny hairs is converted to electrical signals, which are carried by the cochlear nerve to the brain.
The inner ear is also involved in the interpretation of balance and direction.
79
Ear helps to maintain___ using the ___system
Balance using the vestibular system
80
What is the vestibular system
- canals filled with fluid & hair
- sends info to brain about tilt, rotation & motion of head
- allows brain to coordinate movement with eyes
81
Labyrinth/o
maze
82
vestibul/o
entry way
83
cochle/o
cochlea (shaped like a snail shell)
84
labyrinthitis
inflammation of the labyrinth (inner ear)
85
vestibulitis
inflammation of the vestibule of the inner ear
86
cochleitis
inflammation of th ecochlea
