2nd semester: VISION Flashcards
Stereopsis is a physiologic mechanism involved in ___________________
depth perception
This error of refraction is due to an eyeball that is too long
Myopia
oh MY, that is TOO LONG. chr
Cones adapt faster than rods because __________________________.
cones utilize a 2ND pathway for regeneration
This process/change is observed when LIGHT strikes the eye from a point source of 6 meters
The lens becomes flat.
When entering a movie house while the movie is on-going, which adaptive changes normally takes place?
There is GREATER activation of rods.
Mr X claims that he cannot see clearly. Upon consulting a doctor, he was prescribed to wear biCONVEX lenses. Mr. X has _________________
HYPERopia
convex = hyper
What is the CORRECT sequence in the photo-transduction of rods and cones in response to LIGHT?
Structural change in rhodopsin –> activation of transducin –> (-) intracellular cGMP –> CLOSURE of Na+ channels –> (-) release of GLUTAMATE

dark adaptation
Which of the color cones absorbs the longest wavelength of light?
red
Compression of optic CHIASM by pituitary ADENOMA can lead to ______________________
