The Special Sense

Olfaction, Gustation, Vision, Equilibrium, Hearing

Olfaction

Smell





Gustation

Tasting

Vision

Equilibrium

Hearing

Accessory Structure

-Eyebrows


-Eyelids


-Eyelashes


-Lacrimal Gland


-Nasal Lacrimal Duct

Eyebrows

Sweat Bands



Eyelids

Protect the eye from foreign objects and lubricates eyeball

Eyelash

Protect eye from particles

Lacrimal Gland

Tears produces

Nasal Lacrimal Duct

where excess tears drain

External Structures of Eye

-conjuntiva


-Lacrimal Apparatus



Conjuntiva

-A mucus membrane lining inside of the eyelid


-Forms conjuctival sac between eye and eyelid

Conjunctivitis

-Inflammation of conjunctival sac


-Cornea is behind conjunctiva

Inner Neural Tunic

Retina (covers back of eyeball)

Cornea

light passes through to get into the eyeball

Lacrimal Appratus

secretes lysozyme




tears form then collect lacrimal lake then drains to nasal cavity

3 Layers of the Eye

1. Outer Fibrous tunic


2. Middle Vascular Tunic


3. Inner Neural Tunic

Outer Fibrous Tunic

-very thick layer


-Sclera/ cornea



Middle Vascular Tunic

-Blood flow


-Choroid ciliary body, iris (eye color)



Cavities of Eye

-large posterior cavity


-smaller anterior cavity



Smaller Anterior Cavity

-Anterior chamber: extends from cornea to iris




-Posterior chamber: between iris, ciliary body, & lens

Iris

-control light coming in


*Pupillary constrictor muscle: constricts pupil




-makes small: increased light


*Pupillary dilator muscles (dilate pupil)


pupil gets large: less light

Ciliary Body

Pull or relax lens as you focus




-contains muscle attaching to suspensory ligaments

Choroid

Vascular Tunic:


supply oxygen/nutrients to the retina

Neural Tunic (retina)

1. Outer pigmented part: absorbs light


---> BOUNCE


2. Inner neural part: Contains visual receptors and associated neurons
