Essentials Week 7 - Scenario Quiz - Special Senses

During a sunny day at the beach, how does your eye adjust to focus the beautiful scenery onto the back of your eye?

• To produce nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations

• To bend light and focus it on the retina

• To connect the middle ear to the nasopharynx

• To provide light refraction and protection

During a quiet afternoon in the park, why is it that you can hear the distant sound of a dog barking through your ears?

• The sound travels from the outer ear to the eardrum via the auditory canal

• The auditory canal produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations

• It connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx, allowing sound to travel

• The auditory canal covers the front of the eye, helping in sound direction

During a school health seminar, a nurse explains conjunctivitis and its spread. What does she describe it as?

• A condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy

• A contagious inflammation of the conjunctiva

• A condition where the cornea is irregularly shaped

• A visual developmental disorder that reduces visual acuity

During a loud concert, how does the cochlea contribute to your hearing experience?

During a sunny day, why does the color of people's eyes appear more vibrant?

• Because the iris, a colored portion of the eye, adjusts to control the amount of light entering

• Due to a visual developmental disorder that reduces visual acuity, making colors seem brighter

• Because of a contagious inflammation of the conjunctiva, which enhances eye color

• It's a condition where the eye turns inward or outward, affecting how light is reflected

During a routine eye examination, a doctor explains the importance of the conjunctiva. What is its function?

• A mucous membrane covering the front of the eye

• A condition where the eye turns inward or outward

• A visual developmental disorder that reduces visual acuity

• A contagious inflammation of the conjunctiva

During a sunny day at the beach, why is it important to wear sunglasses with UV protection for your eyes?

• To produce nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations

• To connect the middle ear to the nasopharynx
