34 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Anterior Chamber (eye)

Fluid fill space (Aqueous Humor) between the iris and the cornea's innermost surface, the endothelium.

Incus (Anvil) ear

Receives vibrations from the malleus and transmits these to the stapes.

Malleus (Hammer) ear

Transmits sound vibrations from the eardrum to the incus

Stapes (Stirrup) ear

Transmits the vibrations to the oval window

Posterior Chamber (eye)

Consists of small space directly posterior to the iris but anterior to the lens. Filled with aqueous humor

Choroid (eye)

Between the sclera and retina; filled with blood vessels and bring oxygen and nutrients to the eye

Ciliary Body (eye)

Includes the ciliary muscle and the ciliary epithelium, which produces the aqueous humor.

Cochlea (ear)

Transforms the sound in neural message. The function is to transform the vibrations of the cochlear liquids into a neural signal.

Conjunctiva (eye)

Lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the sclera.

Eustachian tube (ear)

Ventilate the middle ear. Ensuring that its pressure remains normal air pressure. Secondary function is to drain secretions, infections or debris.

Cornea (eye)

Acts as the eyes outermost lens. Functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye.

External Auditory Canal (ear)

Entryway for sound waves

External ear

Pinna; auditory canal; tympanic membrane

Middle ear

Three ossicles; oval window; eustachian tube; round window

Inner ear

Semicircular canals; vestibule; cochlea

Iris (eye)

Controls size of the pupil and the amount of light that reaches the retina

Lacrimal gland (eye)

Produces tears

Lens (eye)

Change the focal distance of the eye so that it can focus on objects from various distances

Nasolacrimal duct (eye)

Carries tears from the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity.

Optic disc (eye)

The beginning of the optic nerve and is the point where the axons of the retinal ganglion cells come together. Also the entry point for major blood vessels that supply the retina.

Optic nerve (eye)

Transfer visual info from the retina to the visual centers of the brain via electrical impulses

Photoreceptors (cones and rods)

Cones allow perception of color. Rods help with seeing in darker areas.

Pupil (eye)

Light enters the eye through the pupil

Otolith (ear)

Tiny crystals of calcium carbonate

Filiform (tongue)

Have taste buds on upper surface

Fungiform (tongue)

Same as fil

Retina (eye)

Receive light that the lens has focused, covert light into neural signals and send them to the brain for visual recognition.

Sclera (eye)

White part of the eye

Semicircular canals (ear)

Lined with cilia and filled with endolymph. Works as a motion sensor every time the head moves.

Tapetum lucidum (eye)

Contributes to the superior night vision of some animals.

Tarsal glands (meibomian)

Responsible for the supply of meibum

Tympanic bulla (ear)

Encloses parts of the middle and inner ear

Tympanic membrane (ear)

Eardrum

Vestibule (ear)

Respond to changes in the position of the head with respect to gravity.
