5 SENSE OF HEARING
-The ear is the sensory organ for hearing and body balance. - the ear has 3 main parts: outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.
PART OF EAR Outer ear
Middle ear Inner ear
FUNCTION Receives and directs sound waves to the eardrum Vibrates and transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear Convert sound vibration into nerve impulses which are carried by auditory nerve to the brain.
Outer ear
Ossicles
ear pinna
Cochlea
eardrum
ear canal Eustachian tube
Part of the ear (a) Outer ear Function: Receives and directs sound waves to the eardrum (b) Middle ear (d) Ear pinna (e) Ear canal (f) Eardrum
Function Collect and direct sound waves into ear. Channel sound waves to the eardrum Vibrates when sound waves hit on it
(g) ossicles
Amplify sound vibrations. Send vibration from ossicles into inner ear.
Function : (h) Oval Vibrates and window transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear
Function: Convert sound vibration into nerve impulses which are carried by auditory nerve to the brain. Doesnt involve in hearing mechanisms

Function Maintains shape of eyeball. Helps to focus light onto retina. Protect eyeball. Absorbs light to prevent reflection. Focus light onto retina Maintains shape of eyeball. Helps to focus light onto retina.
Retina
Iris
Function
Helps to focus light onto retina Contracts and relaxes to changes the thickness of the lens. Allows light to enter the eyes Protects the cornea Detects light or image and form nerve impulse The part of the eye that are not sensitive to light. Carries nerve impulses from the retina to the brain for intepretation.

Iris control the size of pupil in order to allow certain amount of light to enter our eyes.
Law of Reflection is obeyed if the parallel light rays fall onto uniform surface.
If the light rays fall onto non uniform surface, the reflected ray will be dispersed.
