Study Notes
Eye Anatomy and Function
- The sclera is primarily composed of collagen fibers and provides structural support to the eye.
- The retina does not include the lens. The retina contains photoreceptive cells.
- The most anterior portion of the uvea is the iris, which regulates light entry.
- The choroid is a structure that is part of the uvea, supplying nourishment to the outer layers of the retina.
- The space posterior to the iris is known as the posterior chamber.
- The inner ear contains fluid known as endolymph, which is crucial for hearing and balance.
- The optic disc is the region where the optic nerve exits the eye, also known as the blind spot.
- A common type of neuron in the eye is the bipolar neuron, which plays a role in the processing of visual information.
- The space anterior to the iris is referred to as the anterior chamber.
- The stroma forms the majority of the cornea, contributing to its strength and structure.
- The region where the optic nerve leaves the eyeball is specifically the optic papilla.
- The ciliary muscle is located between the iris and the choroid, controlling lens shape for focusing.
- The alveoli in the respiratory system are the first sites where gas exchange occurs.
- Type II alveolar cells secrete surfactant, which reduces surface tension in the alveoli.
- The epiglottis is a cartilage in the larynx made of elastic cartilage, allowing it to flex during swallowing.
- Type I alveolar cells are rarely found in the alveoli, primarily serving as a barrier for gas exchange.
- The cornea is transparent, allowing light to pass through for vision clarity.
- Cone cells in the retina are responsible for color vision, enabling the perception of different wavelengths of light.
- The sclera is the outer layer of the eye, providing protection and structure.
- The function of the ciliary muscle is to adjust the shape of the lens, facilitating accommodation for near or far vision.
- Aqueous humor is drained from the anterior chamber via the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal.
- The anterior limiting membrane is the acellular layer of the cornea, providing a smooth surface.
- The lens of the eye is avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels, relying on surrounding fluids for nourishment.
- The fovea centralis is the region associated with maximum visual acuity, where cone density is highest.
Ear Anatomy and Function
- The cochlea contains the sensory receptors for hearing, specifically the hair cells in the organ of Corti.
- Sensory receptors for movement and position are located in the vestibular system, specifically within the semicircular canals and the otolith organs.
- The cochlea has a spiral, snail-shell shape, which is essential for sound frequency analysis.
- The crista ampullaris detects dynamic equilibrium and rotational movement.
- Hair cells in the organ of Corti act as the primary receptors for hearing.
- The crista ampullaris is located within the ampullae of the semicircular canals, contributing to balance and orientation.
