the special senses are either complex sensory organs or localized sensory receptors
Unlike general receptors (cold, heat, pain, muscle and tendon stretching) which are widely distributed,
Sight, hearing, equilibrium, smell and taste: eyes, ears, taste buds,
olfactory epithelium.

4. Internal structures of the eye
a. Eye is a hollow sphere surrounded by three layers called tunics.
![Page 31: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Tunics of the eyei. Sclera is composed of
a dense white fibrous connective tissue. It’s the white of the eye. Anterior portion of sclera is modified to from transparent cornea, where light enters the eye.
![Page 32: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Tunics of the eye
ii. Choroid is a vascular, nutritive layer.• Dark pigment in choroid prevents light from
scattering inside the eye.• Anterior portion is continuous with two structures.• Ciliary body-smooth muscle that controls lens shape.• Iris, made of pigmented smooth muscle. It controls the
size of the central opening of eye (pupil) by dilation and constriction.
![Page 33: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

![Page 34: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Tunics of the eye
iii. Retina is the sensory layer, the innermost layer. It contains the photo- receptors called rods and cones that convert light energy into nerve impulses.
![Page 35: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Retina• Rods allow us to see grey
tones.– More sensitive to light than
are cones– Provide peripheral vision– Are excited in dim light
• Cones see color– Need bright light to be
excited– Three types respond either
to red, green or blue light.
Path of light
cone
rod
neurons

![Page 37: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Retina
• Fovea centralis is a tiny pit in the retina that contains only cones. It lies in the back of the retina in line with the pupil. It is the area of sharpest vision. Anything we want to view critically is viewed on the fovea centralis.
• Blind spot is the optic disk where optic nerve leaves the eye. No rods or cones there.
![Page 38: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Internal chambers and fluidsTwo main chambers divided by
the lensa) Posterior segment is large
chamber behind lens filled with clear gel called vitreous humor. (Vitreous chamber).1) Transmits light
2) Supports back of lens and holds layers of retina in place.
![Page 40: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Internal chambers and fluids
b) Anterior segment is smaller chamber between lens and cornea filled with aqueous humor. (Aqueous chamber)
1) Nourishes lens and cornea
2) Secreted by choroid
b) Lens1) Focuses incoming light on retina
2) Held in place by suspensory ligaments attached to ciliary body.

When the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the choroid acts like a spring pulling on the lens via the zonule fibers causing the
lens to become flat. When the ciliary muscle contracts, it stretches the choroid,
releasing the tension on the lens and the lens becomes thicker.

A. Anatomy of ear
1. External eara. Auricle (pinna)-shell-shaped outer structure
collects and directs sound waves. The pinna is very important in many animals.
b. External auditory canal is about 1” long and 1/4” wide.
c. Tympanic membrane (eardrum) is at the end of the auditory canal. 1) Separates outer ear from middle ear2) Sound waves cause membrane to vibrate and pass
vibrations to middle ear.

B. Mechanism of Hearing
• 1. Stirrup vibrates oval windowcauses cochlear fluids to start moving stimulates organ of corti in the central canal of cochlea (the cochlear duct.)

C. Equilibrium1. Semicircular canals contain dynamic
equilibrium receptors. a. Three loops arranged in semicircular planes
respond to changes in angular motion.
b. Moving fluid in these canals disturbs the crista ampullaris at the entrance of each canal. They send information to the cerebellum via the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII)
c. Detects primarily rotational motion.

C. Equilibrium continued
2. Vestibule (between cochlea and semi-circular canals) contains static equilibrium receptors called maculae.a. Receptors report on the position of the head with respect to gravity. Also respond to linear acceleration. There are two, one vertical and one horizontal.
b. Messages are sent to cerebellum via the vestibulocochlear nerve (VIII).
![Page 86: Special senses](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c71e254a7959353d8b4639/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
The two maculae, the utricle and saccule, are oriented in the horizontal and vertical planes and tell us how we are aligned relative to gravity.

III. Smell (Olfaction)A. Olfactory Receptors are
receptors for smell. Located in olfactory epithelium, a 5 cm square at the top of the nose.
1. Neurons equipped with olfactory hairs that extend into mucus which covers olfactory epithelium.
2. These receptors are stimulated by chemicals that are volatile and water soluble.
