Study Notes
Sensory Receptors
- Hearing is classified as a mechanoreceptor, detecting sound vibrations.
- Sight is classified as a photoreceptor, responding to light.
- Golgi tendon receptors are proprioceptors, involved in sensing body position.
General Sensation
- Free nerve endings in the skin primarily respond to pain.
- General sense organs are most concentrated in the skin.
Anatomy of the Eye
- The white part of the eye is the sclera.
- Conjunctiva is a mucous membrane that covers part of the eye.
- The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls light entry.
- The cornea is a clear part of the sclera located at the front of the eye.
- The pupil is an opening that allows light to enter the eye.
- The choroid layer prevents scattering of incoming light rays.
- The retina is the innermost layer of the eye, containing sensory receptors.
Photoreceptors
- Rods function in dim light perception.
- Cones are responsible for color vision and work with red, green, and blue wavelengths.
- The fovea centralis has the highest concentration of cones for sharp vision.
- The optic disc is the "blind spot" where no photoreceptors are present.
Eye Structure and Function
- Vitreous humor is located in the posterior chamber of the eye.
- The external ear is referred to as the auricle or pinna.
- The tympanic membrane or eardrum separates the external ear from the middle ear.
Ear Anatomy
- Ossicles are small bones in the middle ear; they include the malleus, incus, and stapes, in that order from the eardrum to the inner ear.
- The stapes rests against the oval window, separating the middle ear from the inner ear.
- The inner ear contains the vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea, essential for balance and hearing.
