sclera
white of the eye
cornea
transparent layer, bulges: refracts light
Choroid
dark membrane with blood vessels; nourishes eye, absorbs excess light
ciliary body
Contains ciliary muscle and process
suspensory ligament
attaches lens to the ciliary process
iris
pigmented; contians muscles that control the amount of light entering the eye by changing pupil diameter
pupil
opening of iris; allows light to enter eye
retina
contains photoreceptors
rods
respond to low light, night vision
cones
function best in bright light, perceive colors
macula lutea
area of high photorecptor density
fovea centrails
center of macula lutea; produces highest visual acuity
optic disc
region with no photoreceptors
arteriole/venule
blood supplying oxygen and nutrients to eye
lens
Focuses light onto retina
optic nerve
carries input form eye to brain
anterior cavity
cavity anterior lens
posterior cavity
cavity posterior to lens
aqueous humor
fluid in the eye, found between the cornea and the lens
vitreous body
a transparent jellylike substance filling the interior of the eyeball
lacrimal gland with ducts
Secretes lacrimal fluid containing mucus, antibodies, and lysozyme
auricle
external ear
external auditory canal
tympanic membrane
vibrates at same frequency as sound waves; transmit vibrations to ossicles
malleus
inucs
stapes
pharyngotympanic tune
cochlea
spiral organ
Contains hair cells for sound detection.
tectorial membrane
hair cells push tectorial membrane, bending hair cells
hair cells
basilar membrane pushes on hair cells; when bent, create action potentials in cochlear nerve
basialar membrane
fluid of cochlea
cochlear nerve
carries auditory information to the brain
Semircular canals
equilibrium/balance - rotational acceleration of head
vestibule
equilibrium/balance- linear acceleration of head
vestibulocochlear nerve
hearing and balance
