SensationsSensation = feeling that occurs when a brain interprets a sensory impulse
Projection = process where the cerebral cortex causes a feeling to stem from a source (eyes, ears)
Sensory adaptation = sensory receptors stop sending signals when they are repeatedly stimulated
What do you think is going on in this picture?
Sensory Deprivation is a technique initially used by neuro-psychiatrists designed to deliberately reduce or completely remove stimuli from one or all of the senses.

Sense of Pain•Visceral Pain - occurs in visceral tissues such
as heart, lungs, intestine•Referred pain - feels as though it is coming
from a different part (heart pain may be felt as pain in arm or shoulder)
•Acute Pain - originates from skin, usually stops when stimulus stops (needle prick)
•Chronic Pain - dull aching sensation

The Rising Tide of Prescription AbuseCourtney Love calls them the new LSD, or "lead singer's drug." Rapper Eminem has a tattoo of one on his bicep. David Spade even joked that they were in the goody bags given away at the Golden Globes. Hollywood is gripped by a new addiction: prescription painkillers. Vicodin and OxyContin have become the latest trendy drugs, and they can be just as powerful as heroin or cocaine.
2.6 million people nationwide now regularly use prescription pain pills for recreational purposes. Taken in small doses, painkillers produce feelings of euphoria with no hangover. Number of Reported Deaths

Middle Ear (tympanic cavity)•Eardrum (tympanum)
•Auditory Ossicles - malleus, incus, stapes - transmit vibrations and amplify the signal
•Auditory Tube (eustachian tube) - connects the middle ear to the throat - helps maintain air pressure

Inner Ear
•Labyrinth - communicating chambers and tubesOsseous Labyrinth and Membranous LabyrinthPerilymph and Endolymph (fluids within the labyrinth)
•Semicircular Canals - sense of equilibrium
•Cochlea - sense or hearing
•Organ of Corti - contains hearing receptors, hair cells detect vibrations
![Page 19: Chapter 10 Senses](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aee7f8b9ab05997ca20/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inner Ear: Cochlea•Inside the cochlea are special neurons
called HAIR CELLS•The stapes is attached to the OVAL
WINDOW, and vibrations cause the perilymph to vibrate; the hair cells here transmit this vibration.
•Therefore the HAIR CELLS in this region are receptors for HEARING.
As you age, hair cells become damaged (loud music can speed this process along). Older people usually can’t hear frequencies that younger people can hear. Try the hearing test!
![Page 20: Chapter 10 Senses](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aee7f8b9ab05997ca20/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Steps in Hearing
1. Sound waves enter external auditory meatus2. Eardrum vibrates3. Auditory ossicles (malleus, incus, stapes) amplify vibrations4. Stapes hits oval window and transmits vibrations to cochlea5. Organs of corti contain receptor cells (hair cells) that deform from vibrations6. Impulses sent to the vestibulocochlear nerve7. Auditory cortex of the temporal lobe interprets sensory impulses8. (Round window dissipates vibrations within the cochlea)

Cochlear Implants A cochlear implant receives sound from the outside environment, processes it, and sends small electric currents near the auditory nerve. These electric currents activate the nerve, which then sends a signal to the brain. The brain learns to recognize this signal and the person experiences this as "hearing". The cochlear implant somewhat simulates natural hearing, where sound creates an electric current that stimulates the auditory nerve. However, the result is not the same as normal hearing.

• The eye is in the orbit of the skull for protection.• Within the orbit are 6 extrinsic eye muscles, which move
the eye. • There are 4 cranial nerves: Optic (II),
Occulomotor (III), Trochlear (IV), and Abducens (VI).

• LACRIMAL GLANDS are the largest set. They are on the superior lateral eyelid and they produce tears, which drain into the nasal cavity via the LACRIMAL DUCT.
• The function is to moisten and lubricate the eye surface, and it has enzymes to kill bacteria (which thrive in warm, moist conditions).

• Fun Fact: -When you are looking at someone you love, your pupils dilate, and they do the same when you are looking at someone you hate.

What causes red-eye?
The flash on a camera is bright enough to cause a reflection off of the retina -- what you see is the red color from the blood vessels.
Many cameras have a "red eye reduction" feature. In these cameras, the flash goes off twice -- once right before the picture is taken, and then again to actually take the picture. The first flash causes people's pupils to contract, reducing "red eye"

Problems with the Eyes
CataractsClouding of the lens leads to a clinical condition known as CATARACTS.
![Page 51: Chapter 10 Senses](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aee7f8b9ab05997ca20/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Treatment is to remove the lens and replace it with a plastic one (which is not flexible either).
![Page 52: Chapter 10 Senses](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aee7f8b9ab05997ca20/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The function is to constrict or dilate the pupil (opening) to allow light in. Therefore, it regulates the amount of light passing to the visual receptors of the eye.
Problems with the IRIS and PUPIL
ANIRIDIA = a condition where a person is born without an iris
![Page 53: Chapter 10 Senses](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1aee7f8b9ab05997ca20/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Why are all babies born with blue eyes? Melanin is a brownish pigment that adds color to your hair, eyes, and skin. At the time babies are born, melanin hasn't yet been "deposited" in the eyes' iris. Hence, they appear blue. After about six months, eyes change color depending on the amount of melanin. If you have a lot of it, your eyes will turn dark brown. If you have little, they'll stay blue. And if you have no melanin, your eyes may appear pink (albino). .

ColorblindnessA genetic trait that affects boys more than girls. The location of the gene is on the X chromosome

• The region where the optic nerve and blood vessels goes in and out of the eye has no photoreceptors = BLIND SPOT.
• Hold your hands out at 45° and that’s the location of the blind spot.
• You can still see your hands because the other eye sees it. Close your right eye and look for your right hand and you’ll find the blind spot.

FLOATERS are when a capillary breaks and cells break off. Floaters don’t actually move, the eye just tries to track them.
