Test 1 Flashcards
What are the special senses?
Vision Taste Smell Hearing Equilibrium
Are the special senses somatic or autonomic?
Majority are somatic, some are autonomic (ex eyes dilating)
Eye and vision are what percent of the brain?
70% of sensory receptors and half of the cerebral cortex
Primary data and associative data
primary data is actual visual data
associative data is knowing what something is
what portion of the eye ball is seen
1/6 is seen, the rest is surrounded by fat for protection
Palpebral
aka eyelids
tarsal plates
hard tissue in eyelid
what lifts the upper eyelid
anchor orbiularis oculi and elevator palpable superioris
lateral commissures and medial commissures
inside and outside corners of eyes
Eye glands
tarsal glands
ciliary glands
conjunctiva glands
lacrimal glands
Tarsal glands
oily secretion, lubricates eye
Ciliary Glands
between hair follicles, modified sweat glands
Conjunctiva glands
Bulbar conjunctiva- covers eyeball
Conjunctiva sac- red part below eye
Palpebral conjunctiva- over eye lid
TONS OF BLOOD
why doesn’t the conjunctiva glands over the whole front of the eye?
The blood vessels would blur vision
Lacrimal Glands
produce tears, secrete lysosomes, antibodies, saline and mucus
Flow of secretion from the lacrimal gland (aka tears)
gravity Lacrimal gland exterior ducts of lacrimal gland lacrimal punctum thru lacrimal cancel nasolacrimal duct inferior meatus of nasal cavity nostril
Extrinsic eye muscles
4 rectus and 2 oblique
4 rectus muscles
Inferior and superior- bilateral, in sync
lateral and medial-work together unless going crosseyed
Oblique eye muscles
superior and inferior, insertion on lateral side
trochlea is a pulley for superior oblique
LR6
SO4
3
Lateral rectus: canal nerve 6
Superior Oblique: cranial nerve 4
All others: cranial nerve 3
if the right eye is deviating medially, what muscles are weak?
lateral rectus
Infected tarsal gland
cyst calledchalazion forms
ciliary gland infections
leads to stye
conjunctivits
ink eye, bacteria and virus, HIGHLY contagious
lacrimal duct inflammation
swelling constricts ducts, preventing dratinging Watery eyes
diplopia
double vision, bilateral extrinsic eye muscle not coordinated, forms two similar but different images, cause by paralysis, extrinsic eye muscle weakness, neurological disorders, alcohol
strabismus
cross eye congenital or acquired, weakness of extrinsic eye muscles, rotates opposite of weakness, brain disregards inputs from deviant eye, functionally blind
Sclera
aka fibrous layer, whites of your eyes, front is cornea, light goes thru and lands on retina
Vascular layer
blood to all layers of the eye
Ciliary body
pulls on lens to contract and retract it
lens
focuses light
iris
colored part of eye, adjusts pupil to let appropriate amount of light in
sphincter muscles
get smaller when they contract
ex: ciliary bodies and iris
Suspensory ligaments
between lens and ciliary body, change tensions to change tension in lens
contracted = smaller = less tension
posterior segment
everything posterior to lens
anterior segment
everything anterior to lens
filled with aqueous humor
divided by iris into anterior chamber and posterior chamber
Why is the cornea clear?
it lacks blood vessels and covers the whole eye, outer layer is continuous with derimata
close vision
sphincter pupillae (is small,) contracts and constricts, under parasympathetic control
distant vison
dilator pupillae (is large) relaxes, pupil dilates, under sympathetic control
Inner Layer (Retinal/Neural Layer)
outer pigmented layer
inner neural layer
outer pigmented layer of Retina
next to choroid, absorbs lights, prevents scattering, phaocytizes fragments, stores vitamin A
Inner Neural Layer of Retina
3 types of neurons:
photoreceptors (rods and cones)
bipolar cells
ganglion cells
