Understanding the Structure and Function of the Eye and Ear in Biology Lab 2121
This lab manual provides a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the eye and ear, essential for understanding special senses in biology. It details the layers of the eyeball, including the fibrous (sclera and cornea), vascular (uvea with the choroid, ciliary body, and iris), and inner layers (retina with its photoreceptor cells, rods, and cones). Additionally, it explores the sections of the ear: outer (pinna), middle (ossicles), and inner ear (cochlea), alongside their functions. Key terms include visual acuity, sound perception, and fluid dynamics.

Special Senses Biology 2121 Lab
The Eye - Structure • Layers of the Wall of the Eyeball • 1. Fibrous • 2. Vascular • 3. Inner Layer (Retina)
Layers of the Eyball • 1. Fibrous Layer • Sclera ------ Cornea • 2. Vascular Layer • “Uvea” • Posterior: Choroid • Ciliary Body • Anterior: Iris
Layers of the Eyeball • 3. Retina • Outer: Pigmented Layer • Inner: Neural Layer • 4. Inner Layer • Photoreceptor Cells • Rods and Cones
Retinal Layer • Macula Lutea and Fovea Centralis • Cones • Sharp Vision
Internal Chambers – Fluids • Aqueous Humor • Anterior Eye • Clear Fluid; Ciliary process produces • Constantly drained • Vitreous Humor • Embryonic Development
Lens • Biconvex • Transparent • Avascular
Outer Structure • Superior Rectus Muscle • Attaches to Frontal bone • Indicates medial • Extrinsic Eye Muscles • Insert into the Sclera
The Ear • Sections of the Ear • 1. Outer Ear • 2. Middle Ear • 3. Inner Ear • Cranial Nerve VIII • Vestibulocochlear Nerve
Outer Ear • Pinna (Auricle) • 2. Helix and Lobule • 3. Ends where the tympanic membrane begins Helix
Middle Ear – Ossicles • Malleus – hammer • Incus – anvil • Stapes - stirrup
Inner Ear • Semi-circular canals • Vestibule • Saccule • Utricle • Cochlea • Cochlear Duct • Organ of Corti
