Anatomy Flashcards on Special Senses

AB
Meibomian GlandModified oil secreating sebaceous glands on eyelids
Ciliary GlandModified sweat glands
PupilWhole in eye
Lacrimal apparatusmake tears
Lacrimal ducts and canalsConnect eye to nose
Lacrimal secretionstears
Tearscontain antibodies and lysozyme to kill pathogens
pathogensdisease causing agent
Number of muscles that move the eye6 rectus muscles
ScleraWhite of the eye
CorneaClear part covering eye
IrisControls pupil size and adds color to eye
Ciliary bodyHolds lens in place. With suspensory ligaments controls lens shape
LensFocuses light on the fovia centralis
Aqueous HumorFrom cornea to lens travels through canal of schlemm
Clogged cannal of schelmmGlaucomma
Vitreous HumorFills eye behind the lens
FloatersCrystalized vitreous humor
Retinacontains photoreceptors
Photoreceptorsrods and cones
RodsBlack and white many connect to one nerve. Blurry edges
ConesColor; each connects to a nerve. Crisp edges
Mostly at the fovea centralisCones
Mostly on periferalRods
Choroid coatDark light absorbing layer
ScleraThick "hard" white layer coating most of eye
Worst visionblind spot
Lateral to blind spot only conesSpot of best vision; fovea centralis
Types of cones?Blue see blue light, green see green light, red see green and red light
colorblindnesslack of one or more types of cones. Sex linked trait. (men get it more)
Type of vision correction where a laser reshapes the corneaLASIK's
External most part of earAuricle or Pina
Ear drumTympanic membrane
Parts of External earAuricle and External auditory canal
Parts of Middle earTympanic membrane, ossicles, Eustacian canal
Ossicles are ...Malleus, Incus, and Stapes...smallest bones in the body
If your ears need to "pop" you mustforce air into the Eustacian canal from the throat to the ear
Parts of the Inner earChochlea and Semicircular canals
part of the Inner ear used for hearingChochlea
Part of the Inner ear used for balanceSemicircular canals
Contains otoliths which press down in the dirrection of gravitySemicircular canals
Conatins steriocillia with bend with sound vibrationsChochlea
Uses Olfactory ReceptorsNose for sense of smell
Olfactory Hairs must be coated in _________ in order to smellMucus
Olfactory nerve in the nose connects to theOlfactory bulb of the brain
Why is smell so emotional?It goes directly to the limbic system (emotional system for the brain)
Where is smell stored?Temporal lobe
AnosmiasLoss of smell due to injury, inflamation (cold), or age
Sometimes epilepsy has a warning before seizures occur with....Olfactory auras
CataractsClouding of the lens
PapillaeBumps on tongue that contain taste buds
Taste budsReceptors for taste include the taste hairs
Gustatory cellsIn taste bud respond to chemicals that are dissolved in saliva.
What effects your perception of taste?temp, smell, texture, and genetics
OH- groupssweet, sugar
H+Sour, acidic
very few H+bitter, alkaloid bases
Metal IonsSalty
What can we taste?Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, & Eumame
AstigmatismWarped cornea
