<p>The senses of smell and taste are closely linked. The olfactory receptors in the nose detect airborne chemicals that are dissolved in the nasal mucus, while taste receptors in the mouth detect chemicals dissolved in saliva. These combined inputs create the perception of flavor. Impairment of one sense can affect the other, as the brain relies on both to process flavor.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Nearsightedness; image focused in front of retina.

Farsightedness; image focused behind the retina.

Irregular lens curvature causing blurred vision.

Age-related farsightedness due to lens rigidity.

Misalignment of visual axes; inability to focus on one object.

Lazy eye; loss of visual detail due to eye misalignment.

Double vision; perception of two images from one object.

Involuntary eye oscillation due to brain or inner ear dysfunction.

Transparent mucous membrane that lubricates the eye.

Biconcave lens promotes divergence of light.

The mucous membrane lining the eyelids.

The mucous membrane covering the white part of the eyes.

Space between the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva.

Inflammation of the conjunctiva, commonly known as 'pink eye'.

A type of conjunctivitis often affecting one eye, caused by a virus.

A contagious conjunctivitis affecting both eyes, causing heavy discharge.

Conjunctivitis caused by allergens, affecting both eyes with itching and tearing.

Clouding of the lens, impairing focus by scattering light.

Changes in the normal functioning of the body senses, affecting perception.

Functions of senses like vision and hearing, crucial for interacting with the environment.

Changes or impairments in the ability to see properly.

Changes or issues that affect the ability to hear sounds.

Issues with maintaining equilibrium that can affect movement and coordination.

Hearing loss localized to the outer or middle ear, which can be temporary or permanent.

A often permanent hearing loss caused by disease, trauma, or genetic defects in the cochlea nerve cells or auditory nerve.

A combination of both sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.

Impaired sense of smell, often associated with aging or health issues.

The absence of taste sensation, which impacts the quality of life but is not life-threatening.

Caused by cerumen accumulation or tumors that reduce sound movement to the middle ear.

An inflammation or infection of the outer ear canal, also known as swimmer's ear.

A condition where the Eustachian tube does not equalize pressure, causing fluid to enter the middle ear.

Injury to the ear from failure to equalize barometric stress, often during air travel or diving.

Infection of the middle ear often caused by sore throat, common in children, may need antibiotics.

Bacterial infection causing inflammation of the mastoid air cells, often a complication of otitis media.

A symptom characterized by the perception of noise like ringing or buzzing in the ears without external noise.

A disorder causing severe vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss due to endolymph overproduction.
