middle ear
olfactory receptors are responsible for this sense
smell
Colored portion of the eye with an opening in the center
the iris
This structure vibrates when sound waves hit it, helping to transmit sounds waves through the ear
tympanic membrane/eardrum
hyperopia is commonly called ...
farsightedness
excessive cerumen would be considered which: a conductive or sensory hearing loss
conductive
tube that connects the middle ear with the pharynx
Eustachian tube
Middle layer of the eye which has blood vessels which help nourish eye tissue

The malleus, incus and stapes are three bones in the middle ear; collectively, they are called ...
ossicles

damage to the auditory nerve would cause sensory or conductive hearing loss?

cornea
This structure gives us our sense of balance
semicircular canals
cloudy lens resulting in decreased vision;can cause blindness if not treated
cataract
commonly called swimmers' ear, this is an infection of the external auditory canal/ear canal
otitis externa
vitrectomy
Layer of the eye which contains rods and cones, cells that are receptors for light rays
retina
this structure is the receptor for sound waves in the inner ear
organ of Corti
Increased intraocular pressure caused by too much aqueous humor; can cause blindness if not treated
glaucoma
when the stapes (stirrup) can't move, causing hearing loss; name of this condition
otosclerosis
damage to the area of central vision in the retina, resulting in gradual loss of vision starting from the center and expanding outward
macular degeneration
