WHAT IS THE ORBICULARIS MUSCLE
IT IS A MUSCLE THAT HELPS CLOSE THE EYELID AND DEPRESSES THE EYEBROWS
WHAT IS THE CORRUGATOR
MUSCLE THAT MOVES THE EYEBROWS DOWNWARD AND MEDIALWARD, AND PRODUCES VERTICAL WRINKLES IN THE FOREHEAD
WHAT ARE THE PALPEBRAE
EYELIDS
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE PALPEBRAE (EYELIDS)
THEY PROTECT THE EYE ANTERIORLY
WHAT IS THE PALPEBRAL FISSURE
IT SEPARATES THE EYELIDS
What is the Canthus?
it is either corner of the eye where the upper and lower eyelids meet.
what do tears contain?
mucus, antibodies, and lysozyme
The fibrous tunic is?
the sclera, which protects the eye and anchors the extrinsic muscles and the cornea, which allows light to enter the eye
The vascular tunic is?
the choroid region which includes the choroid, ciliary body, and iris
what is the choroid region
a dark brown membrane that forms the posterior portion of the vascular layer and supplies blood to all eye tunics
rods
respond to dim light and are used for peripheral vision
the neural retina receives its blood supply from
the choroid and the central artery and vein
When is light refracted
at the cornea
entering the lens
leaving the lens
Emmertropic eye
normal eye with light focused properly
myopic eye (nearsighted)
the focal point is in front of the retina
corrected with a concave lens
hyperopic eye (farsighted)
the focal point is behind the retina
corrected with a convex lens
what is convergence
medial rotation of the eyeballs toward the object being viewed
Melatonin does what?
Mediates papillary light reflexes, and sets daily biorhythms
Visual Pathway
some nerve fibers send tracts to the midbrain ending in the superior colliculi
3D vision results from
cortical fusion of the slightly different images
Thalamic Processing
relays info on movement
segregates retinal axons in preparation for depth perception
emphasize visual inputs from regions of high cone density
sharpens the contrast info received by the retina
Striate cortex processes
Cortical Processing
process's basic dark/bright and contrast info
Pestriate cortices (association areas) processes
form, color, and movement
Where are basal cells located
they lie at the base of the epithelium
Olfactroy Receptor cells
are bipolar neurons with radiating olfactory cilia
cAMP
the 2nd smell messenger that allows faint smells to be smelled more clearly
glomerular mitral cells
process odor signals
Olfactory receptor cells
synapse with mitral cells
Mitral cells
send impulses to the olfactory cortex and the
hypothalamus, amygdala, and limbic system
Supporting cells of taste buds
insulate the receptor

Supporting cells of taste buds
insulate the receptor
gustatory pathway
CN VII and IX carry impulses from taste buds tot he solitary nucleus of the medulla
Gustatory pathway
cranial nerves VII and IX to medulla to thalamus and impulses branch off to the gustatory cortex, hypothalamus and limbic system
taste
80% smell
Outer and middle ear
involved with hearing
inner ear
involves hearing and equilibrium
auricle is composed of
the helix and lobule
External auditory canal
short, curved tube filled with ceruminous glands
tympanic membrane
transfers sound energy to the middle ear ossicles
Epitympanic recess
superior portion of the middle ear
Ear Ossicles
transmit vibratory of the eardrum to the oval window

Dampened by the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles
suspended in the vestibules perilymph are 2 sacs
saccule

utricle
saccule
extends into the cochlea
utricle
extends into the semicircular canals
the saccule and utricle
house equilibrium receptors called maculae

respond to gravity and changes in the position of the head
Crista Ampullaris
region in semicircular canals where equilibrium receptors are housed
what is the organ of Corti
hearing receptor
scala tympani
terminates at the round window
scala media
is filled withendolymph
sound and mechanisms of hearing
sound vibrations beat against the eardrum
the ear drum pushes against the ossicles, which presses fluid in the inner ear against the oval and round windows
Tinnitus
ringing ro clicking sound in the ears in the absence of auditory stimuli
Meniere's syndrome
labyrinth disorder that affects the cochlea and the semicircular canals, causing vertigo, nausea, and vomiting
semicircular canal receptors
