Conjuctiva

Upper and lower eyelid; shade the eye during sleep, spread lubricating secretions over the eyeball tears

Palpebrae

Modified sebaceous glands; secretions helps keep eyelids from ahering to one another

Tarsal or Meibomian gland

Projection from the border of each eyelids; help protect the eyeballs from foerent objects, perspiration, and directive rays of the sun

Produce and drains tears

Lacrimal apparatus

Move the eyeball medially, laterlly, superiorly, or inferiorly

Extrinsic eye muscle

Arch transversely above the eyeballs and protect the eyeballs from foreign objects, perspiration, and the direct ray of the sun

Eyebrows

A thick fold of connective tissue tht gives form and support to the eyelids

Tarsal plate

White of the eye; gives shape to the eyeball, makes it more rigid, protects its inner parts

Sclera

Circular band of smooth muscle that alter the shape of the lens for near or far vison

Ciliary muscle

colored portion of the eyeball; regulates the amount of light entering the posterior part of the eyeball

The hole in the center of the iris

pupil

Innermost layer of the eyeball; beginning of the visual pathwyas; contains rod and cones

Retina

Avascular superficial layer of the eyeball; includes cornea and sclera

fibrous tunic

Watery fluid in the anterior cavity that help nourish the lens and cornea; helps maintain shape of the eyeball

Aqueous huomr

biconvex transparents structure that fine tunes focusing of light ray for clear vision

Lens

Middle, vscularized layer of the eyeball; includes choroid, ciliary bosy, and iris

Vascular tunic

the flap of the elastic cartilage covered by skin that captures sound waves; the pinna

Auricle

Partition between external auditory canal and the middle ear

Tympanic membrane

Ear bones, malleus, incus, stapes

Swollen enlargent in semicircular canals; contains structres involves in dynamic equalibrium

Ampulla

Contains the spiral organ

cochlea

Fluid found inside bony layinth; bulging of the oval window casues pressure waves in thid fluid

Endolymph

contains hari cells which are the receptors for hearing

spiral organ

Receptor for static equalibrium; also contributes to some aspects of dynamic equalibrium; consist of hair cells and supporting cells

macula

Ability to focus for close (less than 20 ft) vesion

accommadate

Normalvision

emmertropic

farsightedness

Hyperopia

Nearsightedness

myopic

Reduce ablilty to focus on near objects ( age 45 and over)

Presbyopia

is a vision condition that causes blurred vision due either to the irregular shape of the cornea, the clear front cover of the eye, or sometimes the curvature of the lens inside the eye. An irregular shaped cornea or lens prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, the light sensitive surface at the back of the eye. As a result, vision becomes blurred at any distance.

astigmatism
