The document provides an overview of the anatomy of the eye and ear. It describes the three tunics that make up the eyeball - the fibrous, vascular and neural tunics. It also discusses the extraocular muscles, lens, vitreous body and retina. For the ear, it outlines the external, middle and inner ear, describing the auricle, tympanic membrane, ossicles, semicircular canals, vestibule and cochlea. The learning objectives are to understand the parts of the eyeball and ear and how they function.

EYE & EAR
PROF. DR. NASARUDDIN ABDUL AZIZ
CYBERJAYA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES www.cybermed.edu.my LEARNING OUTCOMES • At the end of this session, you should be able to – list the parts of the eyeball – describe briefly the parts of the eyeball – list the extraocular muscles – state the innervation of the extraocular muscles – list the 3 parts of the ear – describe briefly the parts of the ear EYEBALL • The eyeball is composed of 3 tunics (coats) – fibrous tunic – vascular tunic – neural tunic Tunica Fibrosa • Composed of – sclera – cornea Tunica Fibrosa – Sclera • White, opaque • Covers posterior 5/6 of the eyeball • Composed of tough fibrous connective tissue about 1 mm thick • Received attachments of tendons of extraocular muscles Tunica Fibrosa – Cornea • Transparent, avascular, highly innervated, colourless • Covers anterior 1/6 of eyeball Tunica Vasculosa • Middle tunic of the eye • Composed of 3 parts: – choroid – ciliary body – iris Tunica Vasculosa – Choroid • Pigmented posterior portion • Well-vascularised, pigmented • Rich in melanocytes Tunica Vasculosa – Ciliary body • Wedge-shaped extension of choroid • Rings the inner wall of the eye at the level of the lens • Composed of loose connective tissue • Anterior 1/3 of ciliary body has about 70 ciliary processes • Fibres (suspensory ligaments of the lens) radiate out from ciliary processes to insert into the lens capsule • Contains smooth muscle Tunica Vasculosa – Iris • Coloured anterior extension of the choroid • Lies between the anterior chamber and posterior chamber of the eye • Completely covers the lens except at the pupillary aperture • Contains dilator pupillae and sphincter pupillae muscles • Imparts colour to the eye Lens • Transparent, biconvex disc located directly behind the pupil • Focuses light rays on the retina • Presbyopia – due to loss of elasticity of the lens • Cataract – lens becomes opaque Vitreous Body • Transparent, refractile gel that fills the cavity of the eye behind the lens • Composed mostly (90%) of water Neural Tunic – Retina • Third and innermost layer of the eyeball • Contains photoreceptor cells = rods & cones • Composed of outer pigmented layer and inner layer, the retina proper • Pigmented layer covers the entire internal surface of the eyeball • Retina proper stops at the ora serrata • Optic disk located on the posterior wall of the eyeball, is the exit site of optic nerve • No photoreceptor cells = blind spot of the retina • Approximately 2.5 mm lateral to the optic disk is a yellow pigmented zone = macula lutea • Located in the centre is fovea centralis, where visual acuity is greatest • Contains only cones • Layers of cells: – Pigmented epithelium – Rods and cones – Bipolar cells – Ganglion cell layer Extraocular Muscles • 7 muscles: – Superior rectus – Inferior rectus – Medial rectus – Lateral rectus – Superior oblique – Inferior oblique – Levator palpebrae suprioris EAR • External ear • Middle ear • Internal ear External Ear • Auricle • External auditory meatus (EAM) • Tympanic membrane (TM) • Auricle is composed of elastic cartilage • EAM is the canal that extends from the pinna to the TM • EAM is covered with skin containing hair follicles, sebaceous glands, modified sweat glands (ceruminous glands) which produce cerumen Middle ear • Tympanic cavity • Air-filled space located in petrous part of temporal bone • Communicates with the nasopharynx via the auditory tube (eustachian tube) • Contain the 3 bone ossicles: – malleus – incus – stapes • The ossicles are articulated in series by synovial joints • Malleus is attached to the TM • Stapes is attached to the oval window • 2 small muscles, tensor tympani & stapedius, modulate movements of the ossicles to prevent damage from loud sounds • Located on the medial wall are the oval window and round window Inner ear • Composed of – bony labyrinth – membranous labyrinth Bony labyrinth • Has 3 components – semicircular canals – vestibule – cochlea • Separated from membranous labyrinth by perilymphatic space Semicircular canals • The 3 semicircular canals (superior, lateral, posterior) are oriented 90ᵒ to one another • One end of each canal is enlarged = ampulla • All 3 semicircular canals arise and return to the vestibule • Suspended within the canals are semicircular ducts Vestibule • Vestibule is the central portion of the bony labyrinth • Located between anteriorly placed cochlea and the posteriorly placed semicircular canals • Houses membranous labyrinth known as utricle & saccule • Its lateral wall contains oval window (fenestra vestibuli) and round window (fenestra cochleae) Cochlea • Hollow bony spiral that turns upon itself 2½ times around a central bony column known as modiolus Membranous labyrinth • Filled with endolymph • Composed of semicircular ducts, cohclear duct, utricle & saccule
