Q

How does hearing occur

A

-Sound waves vibrate tympanic membrane
-Tympanic membrane/ossicles amplify vibrations to oval window
– Vibrations cause movement of (fluid) in the cochlea
– Hairs will move in response to the movement of the fluid and stimulate the hearing receptors in the cochlea
– These receptors will change the information into an electrical signal and send the information to the brain via Cochlear portion of the Vestibulocochlear nerve

25
conjuctiva
Lines most of surface of eye and inner eyelids
26
function of lacrimal gland
produces tears
27
purpose of tears
reduces friction removes debris prevents bacterial infection provide nutrients and oxygen to conjuctiva
28
where do tears drain
lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct
29
three layers of eye
Fibrous tunic vascular tunic neural tunic
30
iris function
regulates the amount of light entering the eye via smooth muscle
31
ciliary body function
secretes aqueous humor (fluid) and supports lens (alters shape of lens)
32
lens function
changes shape to help focus the light on the retina. It helps with accommodation as well (transitioning from near to far sight)
33
choroid layer function
highly vascular to provide blood supply to the eye
34
cornea function
admits light into the eye (first structure the light will go through)
35
optic disc function
the site where optic nerve exits eyeball (blind spot)
36
cones
active at high light level and detects color
37
rods
active at low light and can't detect color
38
fovea centrialis function
Cone cells are concentrated here and it is the area of best vision
39
sclera function
dense, collagenous white of the eye—outer protective eye layer
40
Eye structures that light travels through to get to retina
cornea iris lense retina
41
sensory recepotors for vision
rods and cones
42
where in brain is vision interpreted
occipital lobe
