Study Notes

Smell Sensation Pathway

  • The pathway of smell sensation has 2 order neurons: olfactory (bipolar) cells and mitral and tufted cells.

Eye Movement

  • Lateral rectus: responsible for lateral gaze movement (eye looks laterally).
  • Medial rectus: responsible for converging eye movement (eye looks medially).
  • Superior rectus: responsible for upward eye movement (eye looks up).
  • Inferior rectus: responsible for downward eye movement (eye looks down).
  • Superior oblique: another muscle involved in eye movement.

Sound Waves

  • Described in terms of frequency and amplitude.
  • Frequency: the number of waves per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
  • Amplitude: correlates with the loudness (intensity) of sound.

Lacrimal Gland Function

  • Nerve stimulation leads to lacrimal secretion (tearing).

Retinal Pigments

  • Rhodopsin (visual purple) is composed of two parts: retinal and opsin.

Lenses and Refractive Power

  • Diopter: a unit of measurement for the power of a lens, where the focal length is 1 meter.
  • Refractive power of a lens is calculated as 1 divided by its focal length.
  • Example: a lens with a focal length of 1 meter has a refractive power of 1 diopter.
  • Example: a lens with a focal length of ½ meter has a refractive power of 2 diopters.
