Core Special Senses Flashcards
refracts light
cornea and lens
cornea blood supply
does not have one gets oxygen from air
forms middle layer of eye
choroid and uveal tract
contains visual receptors rods and cons
retina
optic disc
has no visual receptors blind spot area where optic nerve leaves the eye and blood vessels enter it
area with highest visual acuity contains cons only
macula
sympathetic stimulation of muscles of iris
dilator pupil is causes pupillary response to sympathetic stimulation
parasympathetic stimulation of muscles of iris
sphincter pupil pupillary constriction parasympathetic stimulation
dark vision
rods 120 million in each eye
day vision and color
cones 6 million in each eye
Is ration b/w the velocity of light @ air and velocity of light @ transparent medium
refractory index
refraction is
bending of light rays at angulated interface
