Vestibular Function and Anatomy

The vestibular system, defined as the peripheral vestibular motion detectors and related central nervous system structures, senses motion in space and converts that motion into information that the remainder of the central nervous system can use to generate appropriate motor reflexes or facilitate complex processes such as the coordination of head, eye, and trunk movements or updating one's perception of his or her orientation in the world. The vestibular system, like the auditory system, converts physical stimuli into neural signals, but the vestibular system detects angular and linear acceleration, rather than sound. The vestibular system is present in all vertebrates and many invertebrates. Yet, despite the importance of spatial orientation in all mobile animals, the vestibular system is largely underappreciated until a malfunction occurs, at which point patients present to a physician, often an otolaryngologist, for treatment and education. This chapter discusses the anatomy of...

Valves of the Heart

Valve Structure and Function Like any pump, the heart has valves to keep the blood flowing in the right direction. Proper function of these small flaps of tissue spells the difference between good health and sickness, and often between life and death. Almost everyone is familiar with the word valve. Very few people, however, really know what a valve is or what it does. Imagine pumping water through a pipe with a farm pump. To keep the water from flowing back toward the pump between strokes, you could place a valve in the pipe leading out of the pump. The simplest kind of valve would consist of two semicircular flaps hinged to open only one way—forward with the flow of water. These flaps would close the pipe completely when they swung shut. When the water flowed forward from the pump, the flaps of the valve would swing open allowing the water to pass. Between strokes the valves would snap shut if any water attempted to flow back toward the pump (Fig. 2-1). Note: The heart is equipped ...

Blood Supply of the Heart

Heart Structure and Blood Supply It seems odd that the tissues making up the heart must have their own separate blood supply. You might think that the torrent of blood rushing through the heart every minute would more than adequately meet the needs of the organ. The walls of the heart, however, consist of layers of specialized muscle. These walls are quite thick—the wall of the left ventricle is often over 1 inch thick. Since the lining of the heart is watertight, the blood cannot seep through the layers of muscle to provide the nourishment essential to these constantly working masses. Blood is carried through the muscle layers that form the heart wall by means of the two coronary arteries. These two small vessels branch off the aorta just after it leaves the heart and curl back across the surface of the chambers, sending twigs through the walls (Fig. 4-1). The coronary arteries are so named because of the supposed resemblance to a crown or “corona” of the little arteries as they...
