Šafárik University, Medical Faculty, Košice Sense organs : Sylabus for foreign students Authors: Prof. MUDr. Eva Mechírová, CSc., MVDr. Štefan Tóth, PhD. Development of the eye Layers of the eye – three concentric layers a. Tunica fibrosa bulbi → connective tissue – Tennon´ s capsule ○ sclera ○ cornea b. Tunica vasculosa bulbi → vascular layer ○ choroid ○ ciliary body ○ iris c. Tunica nervosa bulbi –retina optical part blind part ○ macula lutea with fovea centralis → maximal visual acuity ○ papilla nervi optici or optic disc →blind part Refractive structures: cornea, humor aquaeus, lens, corpus vitreum Accesory structures of the eye: a. musculi bulbi b. eyelids - palpebrae oculi c. conjunctiva d. lacrimal apparatus 3.Tunica nervosa bulbi - retina

The ear — vestibulo—cochlear apparatus
Development of the ear
4week
« The ear gives rise from:
4. otic (ear) ectodermal placode on lateral part of developing
rhombencephalonand neuroectoderm of neural crest
together form internal ear - labyrinthus membranaceus
from otic placode — otic pit — otic vesicle
2. bony labyrint — mesenchyme of temporal bone
3. tympanic cavity — endodermal origin of 1. pharyngeal pouch
4. auditory ossicles — mesenchymal origin — cartilages of 1.and
2. branchial arches:
5. meatus acusticus externus — ectoderm of 1. branchial
groove
6. auricle gives rise from 6 swellings of mesenchyme around
the 1. branchial groove. and is covered by ectoderm
Development of otic vesicle
4. Dorsal part-3 semicircular ducts
2. Central part- utricle, saccule
3. Ventral part- cochlear duct
Internal ear-cochlea
2% turns of the bony cochlea

Vestibular apparatus - equilibrium ● proprioreceptors are concentrated in : a) macula sacculi et utriculi – identical histologic structure ○ ovoid plates of sensory epithelium inervated by branches of vestibular nerve, situated in the wall of saccule and utricle ○ contain proprioreceptors (hair cells) and supporting cells ○ there is a gelatinous glycoprotein layer on the surface + otolites = crystals of CaCO3 b) in semicircular ducts are cristae amplullares ○ receptors form ridge-like structures – cristae ○ histologic structure is similar to maculae ○ glycoprotein layer is thicker and is not covered by otoliths, is conical in shape - cupula Function in head movement → change in movement of endolymph → otolites movement → movement of glycoprotein layer with the processes of hair cells → stimulation of nerve endings around hair cells Hair cells of macula sacculi et utriculi
