25
cataract
lens becomes hardened and cloudy
26
glycoma (glaucoma)
aqueous fluid doesn't drain; pressure
27
pathway of light
-light must be focused on a point on retina (fovea centralis) -light is bent by cornea, lens, humors then retina -eye is set or distance (over 20ft) -accommodation -image is formed
28
how image forms
-cornea and humors (curve and fluid bend light) -lens (flat-distant and convex-near vision) -ciliary body muscle (attached to lens contracting) -real image (reversed from left to right, upside down, and smaller than object
29
accommodation
lens must change shape to focus on closer objects
30
astigmatism
images are blurry; light focusing as lines and not points; unequal curvature of cornea or lens
31
emmetropia
eyes focus images correctly on retina
32
hyperopia
convex; farsightedness; near is blurry; eyeball is short from lazy lens; focused behind retina
33
myopia
concave; nearsightedness; far away is blurry; eyeball is too long-light fails to reach retina; focused in front of retina
34
refraction
bending light; curve and fluid bend light
35
convergence
reflexive movement of eyes medially when we focus on a close subject
36
photo pupillary reflex
bright light causes pupils to constrict (iris - smooth muscles)
37
accommodation pupillary reflex
viewing close objects causes pupil to constrict
38
external ear
-auricle (pinna) -external acoustic meatus (auditory canal) -tympanic membrane -only collecting sound waves
39
middle ear
-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
internal ear
-sense organs for hearing and balance -bony labyrinth (cochlea, vestibule, semicircular canals) with perilymph fluid
41
static equilibrium
(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
dynamic equilibrium
(crista ampullaris) head and body moving through space or separate movements
43
maculae
helps keep head erect; reports position of head; otoliths (tiny stones)
44
crista ampullaris
responds to angular or rotational movements of head; semicircular canals
45
spiral organ of corti
in cochlear duct; cochlear nerve to auditory cortex on temporal lobe (transmits nerve impulses); sound waves coming and going
46
sensorineural deafness
damage to nervous system structures involving hearing
47
conductive deafness
when transmission of sound vibrations through external and middle ears are hindered
48
olfactory receptors
roof of nasal cavity; olfactory receptor cells (neurons) (nerve to cortex); interprets smells; bipolar neurons
49
taste receptors
tongue, soft palate, superior part of pharynx, and cheeks; papillae contains receptors; gustatory hairs = stimulated by salvia
50
5 basic taste sensations
sweet sour bitter salty umami
51
vision changes
infants have poor vision and lack color vision and depth perception; will continue to grow and mature; presbyopia: lens elasticity decreases-difficulty focusing on close vision
52
hearing changes
infants can't hear; toddlers will start imitating sounds; sensorineural deafness; presbycosis: (otosclerosis) ear bones fuse
53
taste and smell changes
acute at birth and decrease in sensitivity as older; damage hair; anosmia
54
optic nerve
Bundle of axons that exit the back of the eye carrying impulses from the retina
55
optic chiasma
-where the optic nerves cross -Fibers from the medial side of each eye cross over to the opposite side of the brain -fibers from the lateral side of each eye stay on same side of brain
56
Optic tracts
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
Axons from the thalamus run to the occipital lobe; Synapse with cortical cells, and vision interpretation (seeing) occurs
58
what does the ear house
hearing and equilibrium senses
59
chemoreceptors
receptors; smell and taste
60
oval window
sound enters
61
round window
excess sound pressure exits
62
high pitched noise
receptor cells are close to oval window;; short and snap off
63
low pitched noise
specific hair cells that are further along cochlea are affected; longer and floppy
64
3 nerves for taste
-Facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) -Glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) -Vagus nerve (cranial nerve X)
65
special sense receptors
-Large, complex sensory organs -Localized clusters of receptors
66
lateral rectus
outside; move eye laterally (abducens VI)
67
medial rectus
internal; move eye medially
68
superior rectus
elevates eye and turns medially
69
inferior rectus
depresses eye and turns medially
70
inferior oblique
elevates eye and turns laterally
71
superior oblique
hooks into trochlea; depresses eye and turns laterally (trochlear IV)
72
visual acuity
farsighted
73
mechanoreceptors
receptors for hearing and balance
74
cupula
gelatinous cap that covers tufts of hair in semicircular canals/crista ampullaris
75
basilar membrane
contains hair receptors in spiral organ of corti
76
tectorial membrane
gel-like; capable of bending hair cells in spiral organ of corti
