LEARNING METHODS
•Listen attentively and think actively during the lecture.
•Preview and review the textbook and atlas as much as you
can.
•NEVER passing by a word without knowing its definition.
•To understand the structure and function of each organ, not
just memorize them.

smell, seeing, hearing, feeling

Tranduce stimuli from the environment into
electrical impulses

endothelium
15
Cornea






Non-keratinized stratified squamous epi.
5-6 layers
Numerous mitotic figures
No vessels.
Free nerve ending
b.Bowman’s membrane( anterior
basement membrane)





No blood vessels & pigments
Basal of epi. is plane
Uniform spacing of collagen fibrils and lamellae
in stroma
G.S. with transparent nature & maintains proper
water
18
Retina
Two regions:
The nonphotosensitive region
(nonvisual part)
Located anterior to the ora serrata,
no photoreceptors.
The
photosensitive region
(optic part)
Lines the inner surface of the eye
posterior to the ora serrata (except
the optic papilla)
19
Retina
4 layers of cells:
 Pigment cells
 Optic cells
 Bipolar cells
 Ganglion cells
20
Pigment epithelium
Structure:
1) Simple cuboidal epi. Attached to choroid and
easy separated from retina (detachment of
retina)
2) Junctional complex ,
3) Melanin granules
4) Processes (contain pigment granules)
Function:
1) absorb light,protect rod and cone from
strong light
2) Blood-retina barrier
3) Phagocytize the membranous discs from
retinal photoreceptor cells
4) Store vitamin A to assist in forming
rhodopsin
21
Optical cells



bipolar neurons
The rods and cones
Glial cells(Müller cell)
22
Rod cell





Thin,elongated cells,
about 120 million rods
A body and two opposite processes
Outer segment and inner segment
separated discs ,shed disc
phagocytized by pigment cells
rhodopsin (visual purple)
Function:
 sensitive to low intensity light
 Night vision (lack of vitamin A leads
night blindness)
23
cone cell




About 7 million cells
Located in posterior part of
retina,especially in fovea
Outer and inner segments
(conical)
Continuous discs & not renewed
Function
 1)sensitive to high intensity light
 2)color distinguishing(red、
blue、green iodopsin)
24
Bipolar cells
An axon & a dendrite
Synapse with photoreceptor
cells and ganglion cells
Müller cells
Extend entire thickness of retina
Neuroglia
Horizontal cells
Amacrine cells
Interconnected cells—provideing greater
visual acuity
25
Ganglion cells


The dendrite synapse with
bipolar cells
The axons concentrate
together form optic nerve
26
Specilized regions of the retina
 Ora serrata :neural layer ends anteriorly at ciliary body,pigment cells
extend to cover posterior iris
 Macula lutea:directly on eye’s posterior pole. “yellow spot”,mostly cones
 Fovea centralis: central pit of macula,only cones, vision acuity straight on
 Optic disc:blind spot,no rods or cones,optic nerve exits,medial and inferior
to fovea centralis.

Ear
External, middle, inner ear
•External and middle ear:
gathers and funnels sound waves
•Inner ear:
sensory of hearing and balance
30
Mastoid process
External ear :
(auricle)
• auricle
• external acoustic meatus
• tympanic membrane
(eardrum)
Middle ear:
• tympanic cavity
• auditory tube
• mastoid process
31
Internal ear
Bony labyrinth
Membranous labyrinth
Bony labyrinth:
Menbranous labyrinth:
•Semicircular canals
•Cochlear labyrinth
•Vestibule
•Vestibular labyrinth
•Cochlea
three semicircular ducts
Utricle and saccule
32
Six sensory regions of the membranous labyrinth:
Three crista ampullaris
Two maculae(maculae of utricle, maculae of saccule)
The spiral organ of Corti
33
Crita ampullaris
three,located in the membranous
ampullae of the semicircular ducts
Composition:
Supporting cells:support,forming cupula
Sensory hair cells:with stereocilia and
kinocilium are embedded in the cupula
Function:
sensors of angular acceleration of the head
34
Maculae of utricle
and saccule:
•Located in the vestibule
•Sense the position of the
head and its linear
movement
35
Note:
• The position of cochlear duct within the bony
cochlea
• The scala vestibuli and the scala tympani,
containing perilymph
• The scala media containing endolymph
36
Schematic diagram of the cochlea:
Scala vestibuli
Scala tympani
37
Corti’s organ:sensor of sound vibration
On the lower wall of the scala media
Tectorial membrane
Inner (close to spiral lamina)and outer (farther from the spiral
lamina) hair cells
Supporting cells: inner and outer phalangeal cells
pillar cells
38
39
Sounds Pathawy
• Sound comes
• Hits tympanic membrane to vibrate
• three auditory ossicles vibrate
• vibration at tympanic (oval) window
• Vibration in the perilymph of the scala
vestibular to the scala media
• Vibrates of basilar membrane and
tectorial membrane,and hair cells
attached to also vibrates
• Vibrate the stereocilia of the hair cells
and initiate neuronal transduction
40
Clinical Correlation
 Vertigo: dysfunction of vestibular system
Causes: viral infections, certain drugs, tumors, excessive stimulation
(seasickness, carsickness, or airsickness)
 Hearing loss
1)Conductive hearing loss: sound waves are mechanically
impeded from reaching the auditory sensory receptors within the
internal ear.such as excessive accumulation of cerumen.
2)Sensorineural hearing impairment: injury to the auditory hair
cells or the cochlea nerve. May be congenital or acquired. Causes
include infections, trauma (exposure to excessive noise),
administration of certain antibiotics, aging.
