Q

sliding filament mechanism process

A

action poteintial to muscle
sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions into the sarcoplasm
calcium ions attache to troponin molecules of actin filaments
troponin moves tropomyosin out of the way, which exposes actin-binding sites
myosin heads bridges between myosin and actin
each myosin cross bridge pulls actin toward the center of the sarcomere
cross bridges break
then reattach & continue as APs dictate

window of the eye
main refracting strucuture
no blood vessels
anterior continuation with sclera

305
Q

aqueous humor of eye

A

constantly produced and drained
fluid filling eyeball anterior to lens
gives eye forward curve

306
Q

lens of eye

elastic and firm
biconvex
thickness can be adjusted for far and near vision

307

vitreous body

A

jelly-like substance
fills posterior space
maintains eye shape

308
Q

retina

A

pigmented layer next to choroids
rods and cones (photoreceptors)
optic disc (blind sport) - no rods and cones here
connecting neurons - carry impulses to optic nerve
optic nerve fibers

309
Q

rods

A
distributed around periphery of retina
active in dim light
visual acuity is low
cannot perceive color, only shades
vitamin A needed to manufacture a pigment to trigger rods
310
Q

cones

A
conentrated near the center of retina
active in bright light
visual acuity is high
perceived red, green, or blue
color blindness caused by malfunctioning cones
311
Q

extrinsic eye muscles

A

originate on orbit and insert on the sclera
voluntary
contribute to convergence

312
Q

superior & inferior oblique
superior & inferior rectus
lateral & medial rectus

313
Q

instrinsic eye muscles

A

two circular structures within the eye
involuntary
iris
ciliary muscle

314
Q

iris

A

colored part of the eye
circular muscles - contract to constrict pupil in bright light
radial muscles - contract in dim light to dilate pupil

315
Q

ciliary muscle of eye

A

holds lens in place through suspensory ligament

controls the shape of the lens allowing for far/near vision

316
Q

contraction of ciliary muscle

A

relaxes supensory ligament and elastic lens thickens (see close)

317
Q

relaxation of ciliary muscle

A

causes suspensory ligament tension; flattens lens (see far)

318
Q

accommodation for near vision

A
