24
Q

ganglion cells axons pass to _____

25
neurons of LGB pas to _____
cerebral cortex
26
exp binocular vision
image on R eye field - nasal half of R retina and temporal half of L retina
27
axons of the 2 retinal halves combine at optic chiasm to form _____
left optic tract
28
LGB project R field to _____
L visual cortex
29
LGB project L field to _____
R visual cortex
30
lower retinal quadrants - _____ field
upper field
31
upper retinal quadrants - _____ field
lower field
32
lower retinal quadrants project ______
lower wall of calcarine sulcus
33
upper retinal quadrants project ______
upper wall of calcarine sulcus
34
exp direct light reflex
pupil constricts where light is shone
35
exp consensual light reflex
constriction of contralateral pupil
36
discuss pathway for direct and consensual light reflex
optic tract synapse w bilateral EDW - synapse w ciliary ganglion - short ciliary nerves - ciliary muscle - constrictor pupillae
37
purpose of accommodation reflex
for near vision
38
exp near vision
eyes converge via medial rectus to aim eyes near to the near fixation point
39
purpose of pupillary constriction
restricts light into thickest central part of lens
40
pupillary constriction is performed by
pupillary constrictor muscles of iris
41
purpose of lens thickening
inc lens refractive power
42
lens thickening is performed by
ciliary muscles
43
lens in normally under tension from _____
suspensory ligament
44
visual cortex is connected to the ______
frontal eye field
45
what is corneal reflex
light touch of cornea or conjunctiva causes blinking
46
afferent of corneal reflex
CN V - V1 or opthalmic div
47
efferent of corneal reflex
CN VII
48
facial nerve supply _____
orbicularis oculi for eyelid closure
49
what is visual body reflex
auto scanning of eye and head auto movement of eye, head and neck protective closing of eyelids
50
afferent impulse of visual body reflex is from _____
optic tracts to sup coll
51
visual body reflexes are relayed to _____
tectospinal and tectobulbar
