    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.
