44 Image formation on the Retina The image formed on the retina as a result of the light-bending activity of the lens is a real image that is, it is reversed from left to right, upside down, and smaller than the object Figure 8.9 Slide 8.16

45 Eye Reflexes Convergence Reflex Moving both eyes to view close up objects Controlled by extrinsic eye muscles Slide 8.19

46 Eye Reflexes Pupillary Reflexes Pupils constrict due to viewing close objects or exposure to bright light Controlled by internal eye muscles and the autonomic nervous system Prevents excessively bright light from damaging the photoreceptors Slide 8.19

49 Special Senses Title Audition Essential Question Describe the structures and functions of hearing.

50 Anatomy of the Ear The ear is divided into three areas Outer (external) ear Middle ear Inner ear Figure 8.12 Slide 8.21

51 The External Ear Pinna (auricle) collects, funnels, and amplifies sound Figure 8.12 Slide 8.22

52 The External Ear External auditory canal Narrow chamber in the temporal bone Has Ceruminous (wax) glands Slide 8.23

53 The External Ear Tympanic Membrane Separates the outer and middle ear Vibrates when hit by sound waves Slide 8.24a

54 Tympanic Membrane

55 Bones of the Tympanic Cavity

56 Middle Ear Ossicles Vibrations from eardrum move the malleus These bones transfer sound to the inner ear Figure 8.12 Slide 8.25b

57 Middle Ear Oval Window Opening at the head of the cochlea Sound vibrations from the stapes is transmitted to inner ear Figure 8.12 Slide 8.25b

58 The Middle Ear or Tympanic Cavity Auditory Tube connects the middle ear with the throat Allows for equalizing pressure during yawning or swallowing Slide 8.24b

59 Auditory Tube

60 Auditory Tube

64

65 Pathways for Sensory System Audition Receptors: Mechanoreceptors Stimulus Energy: Sound Pathway Ear: hair cells Ear: vestibulochochlear nerve medulla midbrain thalamus auditory cortex (temporal lobe)

66 Organs of Hearing Organ of Corti Contains the hearing receptors or the hair cells. Slide 8.27a

67 Organs of Hearing The receptors are positioned on the basilar membrane, and the hairs are embedded in the tectorial membrane Slide 8.27a

68 Organs of Hearing When the tectorial membrane is disturbed, this stimulates the hair cells which send information to the cochlear nerve. Slide 8.27a

69 Sensorineural Deafness Deafness that is caused by damage to neural structures (cochlear nerve or auditory cortex cells) Can be caused by stroke or trauma Slide 8.27a

70 Conduction Deafness Deafness that is caused by any interference with the conduction of vibrations from the outer to the inner ear Can be caused by wax accumulations, otitis media, fusion of the ossicles, or pressure imbalance between the middle and outer ear Slide 8.27a

71

72 Organs of Equilibrium Receptor cells are in two structures Vestibule Semicircular canals Figure 8.16a, b Slide 8.30a

73 Static Equilibrium The vestibule helps us with static equilibrium or the position of the head with respect to the pull of gravity when the body is not moving. Slide 8.31

74 Static Equilibrium Figure 8.15 Slide 8.32

75 Dynamic Equilibrium The semicircular canal helps with dynamic equilibrium, which responds to angular or rotary movements of the head, rather than straight-line movements. Slide 8.33a
