The document describes the five basic human sense organs - eye, ear, nose, tongue, and skin. It provides detailed information on the anatomy and physiology of the eye, ear, and nose. For the eye, it outlines the external structures, internal chambers, muscles that control eye movement, blood supply, nerves and vision process. For the ear, it discusses the external, middle and inner ear structures, hearing process, and tests for hearing. For the nose, it details the internal nasal cavity structures and their roles in respiration and smell. The tongue and skin are briefly mentioned as the other two sense organs for taste and touch respectively.
5. Eye
2.5cm in diameter
Orbital cavity
6 ocular muscles
6. Eye
• Superior rectus
– Attached to the eye at 12
o’clock
– Moves the eye up.
• Inferior rectus
– Attached to the eye at 6
o’clock
– Moves the eye down.
7. Eye
• Lateral Rectus
– Also called the external rectus
– Attaches on the temporal side
of the eye
– Moves the eye toward the
outside of the head (toward the
temple)
• Medial Rectus
– Also called the internal rectus
– Attached on the nasal side of
the eye
– Moves the eye toward the
middle of the head (toward the
nose)
8. Eye
SUPERIOR OBLIQUE
• Attached high on the temporal
side of the eye.
• Passes under the Superior
Rectus.
• Moves the eye in a diagonal
pattern -- down and in.
• Travels through the trochlea
INFERIOR OBLIQUE
• Attached low on the nasal side of
the eye.
• Passes over the Inferior Rectus.
• Moves the eye in a diagonal
11. Eye - external structure- EYE LID
• Main function is the protection of the eye.
• They also help to distribute tears which wash and
lubricate the eyes.
13. CHAMBERS OF EYE
AQUEOUS CHAMBER
1.Anterior chamber – from cornea to iris
2. Posterior chamber – from iris to zonules
and lens –
• production and drainage of the aqueous
which is produced continuously
•Aqueous is produced in the posterior
chamber by the ciliary body travel through
the iris to drain out the anterior chamber
(through the Canal of Schlemn)
VITREOUS – gel like –gives the eye its
shape not produced – damage or loss can
cause retinas to fall or tear
17. CONJUCTIVA
• lines the inside of
the eyelids and
covers the sclera
• It is composed of
stratified columnar
epithlium
• highly vascularised
18. IRIS
• The iris divided the space between
the lens and cornea into anterior and
posterior chambers tat communicate
through pupil and filled with, aqueous
humor (a clear watery fluid).
• The color of the iris determines the
color of the eye
• depends on the number of the
pigmented cells present in its
stroma
• the type of the pigment in the
cells.
19. LENS
Biconvex
Transparent & Elastic
Suspended from Ciliary
body by the suspensory
ligament
Focus of light
Acccomodation
20. Eye - retina
• The internal tunic of the
eyeball contains the light-
sensitive receptor cells
– It’s an extension of the brain
to which remains connected
by the optic nerve.
Rods – Black and whita
ision
Cons - Colour vision
21. Eye - retina
• A layer of bipolar ganglion
cells.
• A layer of multipolar
ganglion cells
nonmyelinated axons lying
internal to the cells and
pass to the optic disc where
they form the optic nerve.
• The optic disc is a blind
area because there is no
receptor cell.
22. BLOOD SUPPLY
• Retinal artery – Ciliary artery branch of
ophthalmic artery carries the principle supply of
the blood to the eye, which is a branch of the
maxillary artery.

membrane

ear to
nasopharynx

pressure

• A: Malleus – Hammer shaped
• B: Incus – Anvil shaped
• C: Stapes – Stirrup shaped
Held in position by fine ligaments
39. 39
The Ossicles:
OSSICLES
– Smallest bones in the body
– Acts as a lever system
– Footplate of stapes enters oval
window of the cochlea
• Stapedius Muscle

– Contracts in response to loud sounds
(called the Acoustic Reflex)

• Contains stereocilia and hair cells.
• It is a sensory organ that responds to
vibrations by initiating nerve impulses
• The nerve fibres combine with 8th
cranial nerve pass through foramen in
temporal bone to reach Hearing area
in temporal lobe of brain
54. 54
PHYSIOLOGY OF HEARING
1. Acoustic energy, in the form of sound waves, is channeled into the ear
canal by the pinna beacuase of its shape. The sound travels in a speed 332
meters/sec
2. Sound waves hit the tympanic membrane and cause it to vibrate, changing
it into mechanical energy
3. The malleus, which is attached to the tympanic membrane, starts the
ossicles into motion
4. The stapes moves in and out of the oval window of the cochlea creating a
fluid motion
5. The fluid movement causes membranes in the Organ of Corti to shear
against the hair cells
6. This stimulates neuroepithelial cells.
7. Nerve impulse is generated. creates an electrical signal which is sent up
the Auditory Nerve to the brain
8. The hearing area in the temporal lobe of brain interprets it as sound!
55. 55
PHYSIOLOGY OF BALANCE
1. Any change of position of the head causes movements in the Perilymph
and endolymph
2. It stimulates the nerve endings and hair cells in saccule and utricle
3. The nerve impulse is transmitted by vestibular part of 8th cranial nerve
vestibulo cochlear nerve
4. The vestibular branch passes to cerebellum
5. Impulses are coordinated
