23
Q

Choroid structure and function

A

houses vast capillaries supporting the retina

cells filled with pigment from melanocytes pigment absorbs light, preventing it from scattering and reflecting within the eye

24
Q

Retina structure

A

Outer pigmented layer and inner neural layer

25
Q

Pigmented layer function

A

light rays passing through inner layer absorbed here

26
Q

Ciliary body structure

A

composed of ciliary muscles and ciliary processes

27
Q

Suspensory ligaments structure and function

A

suspensory ligaments extending from muscle to lens

contraction changing tension on ligaments, altering lens shape

28
Q

Iris structure

A

two layers of pigment-forming cells

two groups smooth muscle fibers

29
Q

Pupil structure and function

A

black opening at center of iris

controls amount of light entering the eye

30
Q

Macula lutea structure

A

rounded, yellowish region lateral to optic disc

31
Q

Macula lutea contains?

A

contains fovea centralis

32
Q

List the 5 layers of neural retina from posterior to anterior side

A

1- First posterior layer is made of rods & cones photoreceptors.
2- Next layer is made of horizontal cells for lateral integration.
3- Bipolar cells
4- Amacrine cells (ama=without axons) for lateral integration.
5- Ganglion cells (anterior)

33
Q

The optic nerve consist of the axons of the _________ cells of the retina

A

Ganglion

34
Q

The _______ ________ is the site where the optic nerve leaves the eye

A

Optic disc

35
Q

Why can’t you see at the optic disc?

A

No rods or cones

36
Q

What are the structures that the light passes by from an object outside the eye until it reaches the photoreceptors of the retina

A

air, cornea, aqueous humor lens, vitreous humor, inner two layers of retina

37
Q

Problems of refraction?

A

Myopia
Hyperopia
Astigmatism
Presbyopia

38
Q

Myopia what? Corrected?

A

Myopia (nearsightedness)— focal point is in front of the retina

Concave lens

39
Q

Hyperopia what? Corrected?

A

Hyperopia (farsightedness) —focal point is behind the retina

Corrected with convex lens

40
Q

Astigmatism what? Corrected?

A

Unequal curvatures of the Cornea

Corrected with special lenses, corneal implants, and laser surgery

41
Q

Presbyopia what! Corrected?

A

Lens less able to become spherical

Convex lens

Surgery

42
Q

Differences between rods and cones in regards to:

Anatomy

A

Cones are shorter and wider than rods

43
Q

Differences between rods and cones in regards to:

Their photopigments

A

Rhodopsin in rods

Photopsin In cones

44
Q

Differences between rods and cones in regards to:

What light they process

A

Rods bright light

Cones dim light

45
Q

Describe visual pathway from the photoreceptors to the brain

A
  1. Light (photons) activates visual pigment.
  2. Visual pigment activates transducin
  3. Transducin activates phosphodiesterase (PDE).
  4. PDE converts cGMP
  5. As cGMP levels fall, cGMP-gated cation channels close, resulting in hyperpolarization.
46
Q

Cataracts

A

Clouding of lens

47
Q

Macular degeneration

A

–Physical deterioration of macula lutea

48
Q

Detached retina

A

Occurs when outer pigmented and inner neural layers separate

–Symptoms of “floaters” in affected eye

49
Q

Conjunctivitis (pink eye)

Symptoms
Causes

A

Inflammation and reddening of the conjunctiva

Due to viral infection, bacterial infection,

50
Q

Trachoma

Cause

A

•caused by Chlamydia trachomatis

common cause of neonatal blindness in developing countries

51
Q

Glaucoma

Characterized by

A

Characterized by increased intraocular pressure

52
Q

Diplopia

A

Double vision

53
Q

Strabismus

A

Cross eyed

54
Q

What are three layers (tunics) of eye

A

Fibrous

Vascular

Nervous

55
Q

Macula lutea what is it?

A

depressed pit –highest proportion of cones and few rods

56
Q

Macula lutea function?

A

area of sharpest vision
