Q

Describe the steps involved in a Reflex Arc

A
  1. Step 1: Stimulus is received by the sensory organ
  2. Step 2: The receptor sends a sensory impulse through the afferent fibers to the the spinal cord
  3. Step 3: The spinal cord transforms this sensory impulse into a motor impulse
  4. Step 4: This impulse is transmitted to the muscles through the efferent nerve fiber
  5. Step 5: The muscle contracts and withdraws to avoid the harmful stimulus

Q

What is the function of cones?

A

(1) Daylight or photopic vision
(2) Color vision

25
How do cones work?
* Cones respond to: Red, Green, Blue light radiations * Other colors are detected by stimulation of more than 1 type of cone * All 3 cones stimulation produces white light
26
What is the roles of Rods?
(1) twilight (or scotopic vision) (2) Sensitive to dim light and play no role in color vision
27
(a) What are blind spots (b) where are they found?
(a) Blind spots are where rods and cones (also known as photoreceptors) are absent in the retina (b) They are found where the *optic nerve* *leaves* the eye and the *blood vessel* *enters*
28
Vision is sharpest in the ________ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ due to a high concentration of cones
**Macula Latea**
