Welcome to Dr. Kate Brilakis' Learning Portal
Part 3:
Slide of Retina
Special Senses Lab
August 26: Hearing
Part 1:
Eye Anatomy
Part 1: Using the Eye Model, Identify:
1. Lacrimal apparatus = lacrimal gland 🡪 lacrimal ducts
🡪 lacrimal puncta /lacrimal canals 🡪 lacrimal sac
2. Palpebral Conjunctiva vs ocular (bulbar) conjunctiva
3. Extrinsic eye muscles move eyeball in socket:
lateral rectus, medial rectus, superior rectus, inferior rectus,
inferior oblique, superior oblique
4. Eye Wall Organization & Internal Anatomy:
Fibrous Layer: sclera and cornea
Vascular Layer: choroid, ciliary body, pupil,iris
Sensory Layer/ Retina: neural layer w/ rods & cones
Optic disc, Macula lutea, Fovea centralis, Lens
Suspensory ligaments, Aqueous humor in anterior compartment
Vitreous body in posterior compartment
Part 2: Cow Eye Dissection (see video)
Part 3: Slide of Eye Wall w/ sclera, choroid, and 3 layers of cells = retina
Part 4: Visual Tests: Blind Spot, Astigmatism, Acuity
Part 2: Cow Eye Dissection
Part 1: Using the model, identify:
1. External Ear with Pinna (auricle) & lobule
External auditory canal
2. Middle Ear: Auditory ossicles: malleus, incus, stapes
Auditory tube = Eustachian tube = Pharyngotympanic tube
3. Inner Ear: Bony labyrinth = cochlea + vestibule
+ semicircular canals filled w/perilymph
Cochlea with vestibule, Oval window, Round window
Organ of Corti w/neurons that are stimulated by sound waves
Semicircular canals: anterior, posterior & lateral
Used to send equilibrium info via Vestibulocochlear nerve
🡪 thalamus🡪 auditory cortex of temporal lobe
4. Trace Path of Sound Wave through the Ear:
External Auditory Canal🡪 Tympanic membrane 🡪 Malleus 🡪
Incus 🡪 Stapes 🡪 Oval Window 🡪 Vestibular duct (scala) of
Cochlea🡪 Tympanic duct of Cochlea 🡪 Round Window
Part 2:
1. Define these clinical terms:
Otitis media, Presbycusis, Nystagmus, Vertigo
2. Explain the difference between “dynamic equilibrium” and
“static equilibrium”
3. Explain the difference between “conductive” deafness
and “neural” deafness
Part 4:
Vision Tests
