Rods
Most are found towards the edges of the retina
Allow dim light vision and peripheral vision
Perception is all in gray tones

Slide 8.12b
Cones – 3 types detect different colors
Densest in the center of the retina
Fovea centralis – area of the retina with only cones
Lack of one type = color blindness
No photoreceptor cells are at the optic disk, or blind spot

Lens AccommodationLens Accommodation
Slide 8.16Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Light must be focused to a point on the retina for optimal vision
The eye is set for distance vision (over 20 ft away)
The lens must change shape to focus for closer objects
Figure 8.9
Correcting the Eye
• Correct Focus = emmetropia• Nearsightedness = myopia
– Focus of light in front of retina– Eyeball too long or lens too strong– Distant objects are blurry
• Farsightedness = hyperopia– Focus of light beyond the retina– Short eyeball or lazy lens– Near objects are blurry.
Edited by Dr. Ryan Lambert-Bellacov
Perfect vision
Distant objects blurred
Hyperopia- near object blur
Astigmatism
• Unequal curvatures in cornea & lens

Two tubes are associated with the inner ear
The opening from the auditory canal is covered by the tympanic membrane
The auditory tube connecting the middle ear with the throat
Allows for equalizing pressure during yawning or swallowing
This tube is otherwise collapsed

Organs of HearingOrgans of Hearing
Slide 8.27a
Organ of Corti
Located within the cochlea
Receptors = hair cells on the basilar membrane
Gel-like tectorial membrane is capable of bending hair cells
Cochlear nerve attached to hair cells transmits nerve impulses to auditory cortex on temporal lobe

Slide 8.28Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Vibrations from sound waves move tectorial membrane
Hair cells are bent by the membrane
An action potential starts in the cochlear nerve
Continued stimulation can lead to adaptation

Equilibrium has two functional parts
Static equilibrium – sense of gravity at rest
Dynamic equilibrium – angular and rotary head movements

Slide 8.31Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Maculae – receptors in the vestibule Report on the position of the head
Send information via the vestibular nerve
Anatomy of the maculae Hair cells are embedded in the otolithic
membrane
Otoliths (tiny stones) float in a gel around the hair cells
Movements cause otoliths to bend the hair cells

Action of angular head movements
The cupula stimulates the hair cells
An impulse is sent via the vestibular nerve to the cerebellum

Chemical Senses – Taste and Chemical Senses – Taste and SmellSmell
Slide 8.34
Both senses use chemoreceptors
Stimulated by chemicals in solution
Taste has four types of receptors
Smell can differentiate a large range of chemicals
Both senses complement each other and respond to many of the same stimuli
Olfaction – The Sense of SmellOlfaction – The Sense of Smell
Slide 8.35
Olfactory receptors are in the roof of the nasal cavity
Neurons with long cilia
Chemicals must be dissolved in mucus for detection
Impulses are transmitted via the olfactory nerve
Interpretation of smells is made in the cortex
