1 PRIMER Flashcards
visual sciences deals with the structures of the eye and their functions as affected by the behavior of light
- Physiological Optics
- Theoretical Optics
physiological optics
real sense organs of the body
- effectors
- receptors
receptors
responding organs
- effectors

cannot
it is a physiological connectors – a nerves that connects the receptors to the effectors (2)

retina is a part of CNS
t/f
true
reduces light scatter and image distortion within the eye
- neural retina
- RPE
RPE
the dark pigments absorbs light
- neural retina
- RPE
RPE
consists of neurons
- neural retina
- RPE
Neural retina
contists of visual receptor cells
- neural retina
- RPE
neural retina
consists of horizontal cells, bipolar cells, amacrine cells, ganglion cells and photoreceptor cells
- neural retina
- RPE
neural retina
image of central visual field center
- photoreceptor cells
- fovea
fovea
it contains the cell bodies and process of retinal neurons receiving information
- macula
- fovea
macula
formed by retinal ganglion cell axons that are existing the retina
- fovea
- optic disc
optic disc
2 types of photoreceptors
rods and cones
this region of the retina is devoid of receptor cells
- fovea
- optic disc
optic disc
optic disc is located _____ to the fovea
- nasal
- temporal
nasal
distinguished structurally by the shapes of their outer segments
- optic disc
- photoreceptors
photoreceptors
the rod ______ segment disks contain the photopigment rhodopsin
- inner
- outer
outer
the structural basis for the blind spot in the visual field
optic disc
