Structures
what is your blind spot
where the optic nerve exits aka your optic disc
Where are rods and cones located in the eye (general location)
back of the retina
Our sense of hearing is dependent on what
displacement of fluid called endolymph and hair cells that detect movement
The primary structures of motion and balance are...
Semicircular canals/ampulla, utricle, saccule
ATP is produced here
mitochondria
what does your lateral rectus muscle do?
abduction of the eye
The type of vision that rods help with
night vision, peripheral vision, or high sensitivity vision
Where do endolymph displacements occur in the ear?
cochlea
What causes acceleration/deceleration & currents of the fluid in the semicircular canals?
endolymph and bone of skull move at different rates
This covers your brain and spinal cord to prevent infection
meninges
function of ciliary muscles
modify lens shape and help focus inverted image on the retina
what cells in the eye send action potentials to the brain?
ganglion cells
Type of cartilage that makes up the outer ear
elastic hyaline
What nerve are action potentials sent to regarding balance?
vestibulocochlear nerve
A slit like opening in a bone is called...
a fissure
This is where sound is directed to in the ear
tympanic membrane
what does cyclic GMP do when it is dark?
depolarizes rod/cone membrane
When someone has an ear infection, this is obstructed causing pressure changes
Eustachian tube
When do action potentials stop in the semicircular canals?
when acceleration/deceleration of fluid and body stops
yellowing of the skin is what condition?
Jaundice
is the auricle a part of the outer, middle, or inner ear?
outer
This disease causes increased occular pressure and damages the optical nerve
Glaucoma
infrasonic means...
low frequency, vibrations in the body
The utricle and saccule detect...
whether changes in position are maintained in a stationary matter for longer periods of time
Deepest layer of the epithelium is...
Stratum Basale
