retina, fovea, optic disk
28
sclera
touch connective tissue, maintains shape of eye
29
cornea
transparent, allow light to enter
30
conjunctiva
thin layer, lubricates the eyes
31
choroid
filled with blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the eye (all blood supply)
32
iris
2 layers of pigmented smooth muscle, regulates the diameter of pupil
33
ciliary muscles
change the shape of the lens
34
pupil
hole in the center of iris that allow light to enter
35
retina
photoreceptors (rods and cones) that detect light waves, conversion of light energy to electric energy (most important)
36
cones do...
color vision
37
rods do...
low light levels
38
fovea
greatest visual acuity; will see the best; high concentration of rods/cones
39
optic disk
optic nerve and blood vessels supplying the eye pass through the retina- blind spot
40
Aqueous humor
supplies nutrients to cornea and lens
41
Vitreous humor
maintains spherical structure of eye (helps with structure of the eye)
42
nasal retina-nearest the nose
information from the nasal half of each retina crosses the midline in the optic chiasm and projects to the contralateral visual cortex
43
temporal retina
nearest the temporal bone: information from each temporal half continues ipsilaterally through the optic chiasm to the ipsilateral cortex
44
left nasal field and right temporal field = _______ visual field
right visual field
45
left nasal hemiretina and right temporal hemiretina =
right optic tract
46
the lateral rectus does
abduction (away from the nose)
47
the medial rectus does
adduction (towards the nose)
48
the inferior rectus does
down movement of eye
49
superior rectus does
up movement of eye
50
inferior oblique does
extorsion (ER-upper pole of the eye outward), elevation, and abduction - rolling of eyes
51
superior oblique
intorsion (IR), depression, and abduction -looking @ nose
52
what 3 nerves control the eye movements
CN III, IV, VI
53
lateral rectus is innervated by
CN VI (abducens)
54
medial rectus is innervated by
CN III (oculomotor)
55
inferior rectus is innervated by
CN III (oculomotor)
56
superior rectus is innervated by
CN III (oculomotor)
57
inferior oblique is innervated by
CN III (oculomotor)
58
superior oblique is innervated by
CN IV (Trochlear)
59
oscillopsia
bouncing gaze - reflex is messed up; not muscles
60
gaze stabilization
keeping the position of the eyes stable during head movements to ensure that the environment does not appear to bounce
61
direction of gaze
directing the gaze at visual targets
62
eye movements: conjugate
both eyes move in the same direction (up, down, left, right) - finger towards nose
63
Eye movements: vergence
eyes move toward the midline or away from the midline (cross-eyed) - finger away from nose
64
saccades is
fast eye movements to switch gaze from one object to another
65
smooth pursuits is
eye movements that are used to follow a moving object
66
gaze jumping from finger to finger is an example of
saccades
67
gaze when following a pencil is an example of
smooth pursuits
68
reading a book is which type of gaze
mixture of saccades and smooth pursuits
69
vestibular information is essential for
postural control, especially during movements of head
70
vestibular information assists with
eye movements to keep the visual field stable with head motion to allow clear vision
71
outer ear (air filled) parts and job
pinna and external auditory meatus directs sound waves into the auditory canal
72
middle ear (air filled) parts and job
- tympanic membrane (separates inner ear from middle ear) - 3 auditory ossicles, oval window and round window - amplification of sound waves to transmit them from air to fluid environment
73
inner ear (fluid filled) parts and job
- associated with hearing (cochlea) and equilibrium (semicircular canals) - vestibulocochlear nerve contains afferents for hearing and equilibrium
74
pathway of sound****
75
peripheral vestibular system is made up of
semicircular canals and otolith organs
76
semicircular canals are
anterior, posterior, and lateral canals
77
otolith organs are
utricle and saccule
78
hair cells are embedded in a gelatinous mass called the
cupula
79
each of the 3 semicircular canals opens into the
utricle
80
bony labyrinth
contains the 3 semicircular canals, cochlea and 2 otoliths. - filled with perilymphatic
81
membranous labyrinth
thin layer of tissue suspended within the bony labyrinth and contains endolymphatic fluid
82
anterior canal detects which movement of the head?
detects the rotation of head up and down, YES motion, sagittal plane
83
posterior canal detects which movement of the head?
detects the rotation of head up and down to side, coronal plane (circling head)
84
lateral canal detects which movement of the head?
detects the rotation of head from side to side, no motion, transverse plane
85
macula is
- hair projecting from hair cells are embedded in a gelatinous material - atop gelatinous material are otoliths - are NOT sensitive to rotation but responds to head position relative to gravity (acceleration and deceleration
86
vestibular nuclei is located
at the pons
87
where does information from the semicircular canals and otolith organs go?
from the vestibular nerve to the vestibular nuclei in the pons and medulla, and to the flocculonodular lobe in the cerebellum
88
one major function of the vestibular nuclei is to...
coordinate movements of the eyes and head to allow for stable visual fixation during head movement
89
vestibular apparatus
part of the inner ear that detects position and movement of the head; it consists of the semicircular canals, saccule, and utricle
90
otolithic organs
anatomic site of sensory receptors (utricle, saccule) that respond to head position relative to gravity and to linear acceleration and deceleration of the head
91
vestibular nuclei
site of synapse between the first- and second-order neurons that convey information about head position and head movement
