Outer layer of the retina White, outer layer of the posterior 5/6ths of the eyeball--firm opaque tissue layer that consists of dense collagenous CT w/ elastic fibers Pit in the center of the macula; region of the retina where light is most focused White spot just medial to the macula through which the central retinal artery enters and the central reticular vein exits the eyeball Inner layer of the retina; responds to light--contains numerous photoreceptor cells: 120 million rods, 6-7 million cones, & numerous relay neurons Continuous with the choroid; the iris is attached at its lateral margins Radial group of smooth muscle in the iris; when contracted the size of the pupil increases or dilates Small, yellow spot, near the center of the posterior retina Nervous tunic of the eyeball that is composed of pigmented simple cuboidal epithelium--has an outer pigmented layer and an inner neural layer Continousl with the sclera; an avascular, transparent structure that permits light to enter the eye--light bends or refracts as it passes through Opening in the iris that allows light to enter the eye Unusual biological structure; transparent & convex--greatest convexity is on posterior side; suspended between posterior chamber & vitreous chamber Portion of the vascular tunic associated with the sclera of the eye--means "membrane" and suggests that this layer is relatively thin 1 Vitreous chamber 2 Anterior chamber 3 Aqueous humor 4 Posterior chamber 5 Vitreous humor Liquid that fills the anterior & posterior chamber; helps maintain intraocular pressure--the pressure keeps the eyeball inflated & maintains shape Jellylike substance that fills the vitreous chamber; not produced rapidly like aqueous humor, extremely slow turnover--maintains pressure & shape Area between the cornea and the iris Much larger than the anterior & posterior chambers; almost completely surrounded by the retina & is filled with vitreous humor Smaller area between the iris and the lens 1 Visible light 2 Near point of vision 3 Focal point 4 Dark adaptation 5 Far point of vision 6 Convergence 7 Iodopsin 8 Rods 9 Light adaptation 10 Accomodation 11 Rhodopsin 12 Cones 13 Focusing 14 Refraction Point at which the lens does not have to thicken for focusing to occur; normally 20 feet Bipolar photoreceptor cells with a conical, light-sensitive part that tapers slightly from base to apex--provides color vision & visual acuity Causing light to converge Bipolar photoreceptor cells involved in noncolor vision; responsible for vision under conditions of reduced light Adjustment to darkness Point at which the eye can no longer focus an object; where blurring occurs--normally 2-3 inches for a child, 4-6 inches for an adult Portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be detected by the human eye; includes wavelengths between 380 & 750 nm--"visible spectrum" Purple pigment that consists of the protein 'opsin', covalently bonded to a yellow photosensitive pigment called 'retinal' Bending of light Point at which light rays cross Visual pigment found in cone cells; consists of retinal combined with a photopigment opsin protein--three major types; blue, red, & green Adjustment to light Process of changing lens shape Medial rotation of the eyes; accomplished by a reflex that stimulates the medial rectus of each eye to contact 1 External ear 2 Scala vestibuli 3 Perilymph 4 Inner ear 5 Malleus 6 Membranous labyrinth 7 Hair cells 8 Incus 9 Vestibule 10 Annular ligament 11 Scala tympani 12 Spiral organ 13 Auditory tube 14 Tympanic membrane 15 Cochlea 16 Bony labyrinth 17 Endolymph 18 Stapes 19 Oval window 20 Middle ear Ossicle; stirrup shaped Na+ fluid that fills the scala vestibuli and scala tympani Houses sensory organs for both hearing & balance--consists of interconnecting, fluid-filled tunnels & chambers inside petrous port. of temporal bone Eustachian tube; opens into the pharynx and equalizes air pressure between the outside air and the middle ear cavity Auditory ossicles transmit vibrations from the tympanic membrane to this structure Ear drum; terminates the outer ear; sends vibrations to the auditory ossicles Extends from the helicotrema, back from the apex, parallel to the scala vestibuli, to the membrane of the round window--found in the cochlea 'organ of corti'; where sensory cells of hearing are found--contains supporting epithelial cells and specialized sensory cells called hair cells Specialized sensory cells; have hairlike projections at their apical ends--for hearing; located in the spiral organ Ossicle; hammer shaped The auricle/pinna & external acoustic meatus--terminates at the tympanic membrane; lined with ceruminous glands that produce cerumen Shell shaped structure;

involved with evaluating movements of the head Consists of the utricle and the saccule (of the vestibule)--primarily involved in evaluating the position of the head relative to gravity The expanded base of each semicircular canal 3 of these make up the dynamic labyrinth; one lying nearly transverse, one at a right angle, and one in the coronal plane (x, y, & z axes)
