Q

Outermost layer. Has blood vessels and nerves and is primarily made up of collagen and elastic fibers.

A

Fibrous tunic

18
Q

These cause constriction of pupil; reduces diameter of pupil.

A

19
Q

21
Q

A vascular layer that delivers 02 and nutrients to the eye..

22
Q

Determines amount of light allowed into the eye.

23
Q

2 layers of Neural tunic (Retina)

A
  • Pigmented part

- Neural part

24
Q

Cells that are stimulated by light

A

Photoreceptors

25
Types of photoreceptors
Rods and cones
26
Allow you to see in dim light, does not allow us to see in color. Most numerous.
Rods
27
Allows you to see colors and used in times of bright light.
Cones
28
3 types of cones
Blue Green Red
29
When 1 type of cone does not work
Color blindness
30
Formed from ganglion's axon
Optic nerve
31
Area where cones are present but rodes are not.
Macula latea
32
Center of the macula lutea, has the highest number of cones.
Fovea
33
Location of the optic nerve where no photoreceptors located. Also called blind spot
Optic disk
34
Junction between the retina and the ciliary body; serrated region.
Ora serrata
35
Part of the diencephalon (Brain) and is a thin membrane attached at only 2 points. Optic disk, and Ora serrata
Retina
36
How light passes from eye to brain
``` Pigmented part Neural part rods or cones Bipolar cells Ganglion cells Optic nerve Brain ```
37
Normal vision; image is focused on retina
Emmetropia
38
(Near sighted) image is focused short of retina; correct with diverging lens.
Myopia
39
(Far sighted) image is focused past/beyond retina; correct with converging lens.
Hyperiopia
