how are eyes and ears connected?
5597
The inner ear and the muscles that move your eyes are intimately connected through a reflex called the vestibulo-ocular reflex or VOR. There are only two junctions between nerves along the path of this reflex, making it one of the fastest in the body.

Earthworms have no eyes or ears, but they have light-sensitive cells that help them tell the difference between light and darkness. Their bodies are sensitive to vibrations and worms may "outrun" the shovels of anglers digging worms for fish bait!

There are five sense organs – eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin.

Somatic sensory input comes from the receptors of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. These organs transmit information we associate with the five senses. Visceral sensory input comes from (surprise!) the viscera, or internal organs.

the oval, round windows connect middle to inner ear. WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE EUSTACHIAN TUBE? enables air pressure to be equalized between the outside air and the middle ear cavity. snail shell shaped organ which transfers sound vibration into nerve impulses.

Much of this information comes through the sensory organs: the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. Specialized cells and tissues within these organs receive raw stimuli and translate them into signals the nervous system can use.

The brain. The auditory nerve connects the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the auditory cortex on both sides of the brain, where sound is processed.

Ear. The ears are organs that provide two main functions — hearing and balance — that depend on specialized receptors called hair cells.

THE eyes really are the windows to the soul, say scientists. According to a study by experts in human development, what we see in the pupils, the overall shape of the eye and even the movement of eyebrows are a communication of emotions.

Eyes are probably the most important symbolic sensory organ. They can represent clairvoyance, omniscience, and/or a gateway into the soul. Other qualities that eyes are commonly associated with are: intelligence, light, vigilance, moral conscience, and truth. Looking someone in the eye is a western custom of honesty.

The vestibular system (inner ear balance mechanism) works with the visual system (eyes and the muscles and parts of the brain that work together to let us 'see') to stop objects blurring when the head moves. It also helps us maintain awareness of positioning when, for example, walking, running or riding in a vehicle.

The ear is the organ of hearing and balance. The parts of the ear include: External or outer ear, consisting of: Pinna or auricle.

A cat's ears are designed to pick up the high pitched sounds made by their prey. ... When looking at the ear, the triangle-shaped part we see is the outer ear called the pinna, which funnels sound waves into the ear canal to the middle ear. Small bones then send vibrations to the inner ear.

The iris together with the pupil act like the shutter and aperture of the camera, controlling how much light filters through. The eye's lens and cornea work on the same principle as the system of lenses in the camera and help to refract and focus light onto the retina or the light-sensitive medium.

Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to three tiny bones in the middle ear.

How the eye works. We need light to see what is around us and to see colour. Light bounces off the objects we look at and different objects reflect different amounts of light, which we see as different colours. The different parts of the eye work together to turn these light rays into images.
