31
Q

emmetropia

A

eyes focus images correctly on retina

32
Q

hyperopia

A

convex; farsightedness; near is blurry; eyeball is short from lazy lens; focused behind retina

33
Q

myopia

A

concave; nearsightedness; far away is blurry; eyeball is too long-light fails to reach retina; focused in front of retina

34
Q

refraction

A

bending light; curve and fluid bend light

35
Q

convergence

A

reflexive movement of eyes medially when we focus on a close subject

36
Q

photo pupillary reflex

A

bright light causes pupils to constrict (iris - smooth muscles)

37
Q

accommodation pupillary reflex

A

viewing close objects causes pupil to constrict

38
Q

external ear

A

-auricle (pinna)
-external acoustic meatus (auditory canal)
-tympanic membrane
-only collecting sound waves

39
Q

middle ear

A

-tympanic cavity between tympanic membrane, oval window, and round window
-only senses of hearing
-pharyngotympanic tube (auditory tube): equalizes pressure
-3 bones: transmits vibrations to inner ear

40
Q

internal ear

A

-sense organs for hearing and balance
-bony labyrinth (cochlea, vestibule, semicircular canals) with perilymph fluid

41
Q

static equilibrium

A

(vestibule and maculae) not moving or changing; head is moving and body is still
-vestibular nerve travels to pons and cerebellum to maintain balance

42
Q

dynamic equilibrium

A

(crista ampullaris) head and body moving through space or separate movements

43
Q

maculae

A

helps keep head erect; reports position of head; otoliths (tiny stones)

44
Q

crista ampullaris

A

responds to angular or rotational movements of head; semicircular canals

A

in cochlear duct; cochlear nerve to auditory cortex on temporal lobe (transmits nerve impulses); sound waves coming and going

46
Q

A

damage to nervous system structures involving hearing

47
Q

A

when transmission of sound vibrations through external and middle ears are hindered

50
Q

A

sweet
sour
bitter
salty
umami

Contain fibers from the lateral side of the eye on the same side and the medial side of the opposite eye; Synapse with neurons in the thalamus

57

Optic radiation

A

Axons from the thalamus run to the occipital lobe; Synapse with cortical cells, and vision interpretation (seeing) occurs

58
Q

what does the ear house

A

hearing and equilibrium senses

59

A

receptors; smell and taste

60
Q

oval window

A

sound enters

61

A

receptor cells are close to oval window;; short and snap off

63

low pitched noise

A

specific hair cells that are further along cochlea are affected; longer and floppy

Q

3 nerves for taste

A

-Facial nerve (cranial nerve VII)
-Glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX)
-Vagus nerve (cranial nerve X)

65
Q

special sense receptors

A

-Large, complex sensory organs
-Localized clusters of receptors

66

A

outside; move eye laterally (abducens VI)

67
Q

medial rectus

A

internal; move eye medially

68
Q

superior rectus

A

elevates eye and turns medially

69
Q

inferior rectus

A

depresses eye and turns medially

70
Q

inferior oblique

A

elevates eye and turns laterally

71
Q

superior oblique

A

72
Q

visual acuity

A

farsighted

73
Q
