When light hits the retina, the _________ are stimulated.
sclera
optic disk
photoreceptors
choroid coat
Sensory neurons in the retina send ____________ which are routed to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe of the brain.
action potentials
blind spots
light waves
accomodations
In order to see clearly, light rays must be bent to hit the ______ of the retina.
blind spot
optic disk
fovea centralis
focal point
Light waves are bent first by the ______.
cornea
aqueous humor
lens
vitreous humor
All of the horizontal light rays that enter the eye converge at the _____
lens
focal point
optic disk
vitreous humor
The lens is naturally ______, clear and elastic.
oval
flat
round
concave
If an object moves closer than the far point of vision, which is NOT one of the three reflexes that must occur to bring the image to proper focus?
Accommodation of the lens
Relaxing ciliary muscles
convergence of the eyes
constriction of the pupil
Eye strain is caused by
extended time for ciliary muscles to stay contracted
lens staying flat for too long
looking at something far away
blurry vision
It’s a change to the lens that causes it to stiffen and also discolor the lens of the eye. It causes blurring of up close vision that impedes ability to read printed material or text on a screen. This is often related to aging.
Myopia
Presbyopia
Hyperopia
Astigmatism
It lets light enter the eye
iris
retina
pupil
When you are looking at something up close, this reflex occurs to reduce the amount of light entering eye.
blind spot
Accommodation
pupil constriction
somatic reflex arc
When the brain detects that the tension in the eye muscles is changing as the eyes rotate inwards
convergence
Monocular depth cue
accommodation
retinal disparity
The fovea contains which types of photoreceptors?
Rods
Cones
How many types of cones do you have?
2
3
4
5
Contains the visual and auditory reflex centers.
Midbrain
Pons
Medulla Oblongata
Reticular formation
neurons that synapse with the photoreceptors and the ganglion neurons
cones
rods
bipolar neurons
rhodopsin
Write the correct pathway of for the sensory message to be sent to the brain?
retinal ganglion, bipolar cells, cones or rods, optic nerve
cones or rods, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve
bipolar cells, cones or rods, retinal ganglion, optic nerve
bipolar cells, ganglion cells, cones or rods, optic nerve
