Which part of the vascular tunic controls light entry into the eye?
Lens
Retina
Iris
Sclera
The ciliary body changes the shape of the lens via:
Iris

Layers and tunnels
Rods are responsible for:
Color vision
Sharp vision
Night vision

The black circular opening in the center of the iris is the:
Cornea
Pupil
Lens
Retina
When light enters the eye, the pupil:
Contracts in darkness

Stays the same
Contracts in bright light
During near vision, the lens becomes:
Flat
Thinner
Inactive
Thicker
What is the term for lens shape adjustment?
Accommodation

Lens capsule
Choroid
Which humor fills the posterior cavity of the eye?
Lacrimal
Aqueous
Vitreous
Plasma
Aqueous humor is produced by the:
Retina
Iris
Choroid
Ciliary body
Function of vitreous humor is to:
Provide nutrition
Refract light
Maintain eye shape
Drain tears
Light is first refracted by the:
Lens
Retina
Cornea
Iris
What structure does light hit last before reaching the retina?
Cornea
Aqueous humor
Vitreous humor
Lens
The upside-down image formed on the retina is corrected by the:
Retina
Iris
Optic nerve
Brain
To focus on near objects, ciliary muscles:
Relax
Contract
Stay still
Vibrate
When viewing far objects, the lens becomes:
Thicker
Bent
Loosely held
Flattened
What color cone cells are in the retina?
Red, green, blue
