Exogenous algogenic substance
Endogenous algogenic substance
The basic process of pain
Optic characteristics of dioptric system
Dioptric System
Four refractive interface
light must pass though four
medium with different
refractive power, and have to
pass though four refractive
interface with different diopter
What is reduced eye ?

Bn =
Using reduced eye, we can calculate the image size on the retina.
What is accommodation of crystalline lens?
See the far object: ciliary muscles
relaxation, suspensory ligament
tension, lens become flat
See the near object: ciliary muscles
contraction, suspensory ligament
relaxation, the lens become convex
forward and backward
What is accommodation of pupil?
Types:
Pupillary accommodation reflex,
Pupillary light reflex,
Consensual pupillary light reflex
What is convergence reflex?

Blind spot test
Place your eye a distance from the screen about 20 ~
30cm, then close the left eye,and staring at the circular
with the right eye, the cross will disappear at a certain
position.

Photopic vision ,color Scotopic vision, no color
Photopigment Porphyropsin , iodopsin and
cyanopsin Rhodopsin
Mechanism of Photoreception of the Rod
1. Photochemical Reaction of Rhodopsin
.
Rhodopsin opsin + retinal

What is color blindness ?
Total color blindness Types:
Partial color blindness
Sex-linked condition:
Genes on X chromosome, so more common in men.
red blindness
green blindness
Non-sex-linked condition
Blue blindness
Total color blindness
What is color feebleness ?
What is visual field?
Size of visual field: white > yellow and blue > red > green
Temporal visual field > Nasal visual field
The structure of ear External ear:auricle and external auditory meatus
Middle ear:tympanic membrane, ossicular chain
(malleus, incus stapes),chorda tympani, auditory tube
Inner ear: cochlea and vestibule
Auricle:
collect sound waves
help to distinguish the direction of sound
External auditory meatus:
sound wave conduction
resonance effect
Functions of the External Ear
Feature: A translucent
membrane, shallow funnel shape,
with a certain tension, high
sensitivity, good frequency
response.
Function: can truly transmit
the vibration of sound wave to
the ossicular chain .
Tympanic membrane
ossicular chain
Feature:
connected by malleus, incus,
stapes in sequence。
Function:
Enhanced vibration pressure,
reduce the amplitude of vibration,
prevent the round window
membrane damage due to the
excessive amplitude of vibration
auditory tube
Feature:
A tube connecting tympanic membrane
and pharyngeal cavity
Function:
①Adjust the air pressure balance of
both sides in tympanic membrane ,
maintain the normal position, shape and
vibration of tympanic membrane
②cilia movement on mucosa of
auditory tube can excrete the secretion
in the middle ear.

Tympanic duct
main way
Function of Inner Ear
Component: composed of cochlea and
vestibular organ
Function: convert the mechanical vibration
in cochlear into nerve impulses on auditory
nerve fibers
Cochlea Fluids in the cochlea is different , the Fluids in the scala
vestibuli and scala tympani are perilymph, but the Fluid
in scala media is endolymph.
Organ of Corti Organ of Corti contain about 16,000 cochlear hair cells.
The top of each hair cell has hundreds of cilia, and the
bottom of hair cells is rich in the auditory nerve endings
Vibration of Basilar Membrane and
Traveling Wave Theory
• When sound wave vibration reach to oval
window , the pressure changes can cause the oval
window membrane to move. this will cause the
basilar membrane to vibrate. the vibration begin
from the bottom of the basilar membrane,
according to traveling wave theory, the vibration
of basilar membrane will spread to the top of the
cochlea.
When the basilar membrane move, can cause a shearing
action between the tectorial membrane and the organ of
Corti, cause hair cells to bend
Hair cell excitation
Bioelectric phenomenon of the cochlea
What is endocochlear potential or endolymphatic
potential?
What is cochlear microphonic potential (CM)?
What is action potential of auditory nerve?
Adequate stimulus of vestibular
The crista ampullaris of semicircular canal can sense
angular acceleration and deceleration
The macula of utricle can sense linear acceleration in
horizontal direction
The macula of saccule can sense linear acceleration in
perpendicular direction
