Anatomy & Physiology Ch. 8: Special Senses

The somatic senses are receptors associated with touch, pressure, temperature & pain The special senses are receptors associated with the senses (touch, smell, hearing, taste, vision & equilibrium)

Types of Receptors: Chemoreceptors: respond to changes in [chemicals] Pain receptors: respond to tissue damage Thermoreceptors: respond to changes in temperature Mechanoreceptors: respond to changes in movement or pressure Photoreceptors: respond to changes in light energy

The Eye & Vision: The organs of sight are the eyes, the eyelids, & the lacrimal apparatus The eye orbit contains the above organs & fat, nerves, muscles, & blood vessels The eyelids protect the eye (open & close) The conjunctiva is within the eyelids that provides mucous (is a mucous membrane) to wash the eye.

The lacrimal apparatus contains the lacrimal gland & a series of ducts that connect the eye to the nose & throat. This secretes tears. This has 2 ducts which collect tears: –Lacrimal sac flows into the: –Nasolacrimal duct (empties into nasal cavity) Tears have lysozymes (enzymes that aid in eye infection prevention) There are 6 extrinisic muscles of the eyes, which allow for movements in all directions.

The Structure of the Eye: The Fibrous Layer (outer layer): –The cornea (a transparent, thin layer of epithelium that allows for light transmission into the eye) –The sclera which is connected to the cornea (the white part of the eye) which protects the eyes & is the attachment for the extrinsic muscles –The optic nerve is in the back of the eye & blood vessels which attaches to the sclera.

The Vascular Layer (middle layer): –Choroid coat which nourishes the tissues of the eye & provides the pigment (melanocytes) –The ciliary body forms the ring around the front of the eye; these hold the lens (transparent) in place –The iris (a muscle) is the colored portion of the eye (the lens is directly behind it) –The pupil is the opening of the eye that responds to light.

The Sensory Layer (innermost layer): –The retina which contains the photoreceptors (visual receptor cells). This is the inner lining of the wall. –The vitreous humor is the jellylike fluid that maintains the globular shape of the eyeball; this fills the posterior cavity of the eye.

The lens is clear & elastic (flexible) meaning it can change its shape to focus. –This is called accommodation. The iris separates the anterior chamber (between cornea & iris) & posterior chamber (between iris & vitreous body which contains the lens) of the eye. Aqueous humor is the watery fluid in the eye.

* Refraction is the means of light bending in the eye. This is the focusing of an image. * There are 2 types of visual receptors: rods and cones. * Rods: more sensitive to light, provide vision in dim light, produce colorless vision, & provide general outlines of vision (less precise images) * Cones: provide sharp images & detect color.

The Ear: Hearing & Balance: The ear is the hearing organ. It contains 3 parts: the external, middle & internal parts. The external ear: 2 parts: –the auricle (a.k.a. pinna) collects sounds & directs them through the external auditory meatus (a.k.a. external auditory canal).

The middle ear: –contains the tympanic cavity –the eardrum (a.k.a. tympanic membrane): pressure is changed by the entering sound waves & reproduces vibrations –the auditory ossicles (3 small bones:) bridge the eardrum & the inner & transmit the impulses as they increase the force (amplify) the force of vibrations. Malleus (hammer) Incus (anvil) Stapes (stirrup)

There is a tube that connects the inner ear to the throat. This is the auditory tube (eustacian). This maintains air pressure on both sides of the eardrum (enables proper hearing) When there is a change in altitude, the pressure of the eardrum is off and hearing is impaired. A popping sound in the ear is the result of pressure equalizing (enabling hearing)

The inner ear: contains chambers & tubes referred to as a labyrinth. This includes: –3 semicircular canals which enable equilibrium –Cochlea which enables hearing –The Organ of Corti contains the hearing receptors & also contains hair cells.

Equilibrium: Static equilibrium is located within the vestibular apparatus. This is the maintenance & stability of the head when the head & body are still. Dynamic equilibrium is the balancing of the head & body during sudden movement. This is due to the semicircular canals of the ear.

Static vs. Dynamic Equilibrium:

Sense of Smell: Olfactory receptors: chemoreceptors; only work when chemicals are dissolved in a liquid (for stimulation). Smell & taste work together. Olfactory organs: –located in the nasal cavity –contain olfactory receptors –Contain bipolar neurons with cilia

Gases enter the nasal cavity & are dissolved into watery fluids for the receptors to detect them. Odorant molecules are substances that trigger the sense of smell. Olfactory receptors adapt quickly. Anosmia is the partial or complete loss of smell

Sense of Taste: The taste organs are the taste buds. These are located on the tongue, roof of the mouth & pharynx. They have papillae, tiny elevations that contain the taste receptors; the cells that respond are gustatory cells (taste cells). These are chemoreceptors & detect chemicals when dissolved in liquids. This fluid is provided by the salivary glands

There are 4 types of taste cells: –Sweet, sour, salty, & bitter Some scientists recognize 3 other types: –Alkaline, metallic & umami (tasting MSG) These receptors adapt quickly. Taste is the [stimulating chemicals] Flavor is the taste, odor, texture (touch), & temperature.
