A

Periphery of Retina

23
Q

True or False

Rods are concentrated near center of fovea?

A

False

24
Q

Where do polarized photoreceptors relay information?

A

To bipolar cells

Synapsing in outer plexiform layer

25
Q

What does bipolar cells relay information to?

A

Ganglion cells

By synapsing in the inner plexiform layer

26
Q

Nerves from nerve fiber layer relay information toward what structure?

A

Optic Disc

27
Q

What nerve are axons carried in when they leave the eyeball?

A

Optic Nerve

28
Q

What canal does the optic nerve travel thru when entering the skull?

A

Optic canal

29
Q

When the 2 optic nerves unite what do they form?

A

Optic chiasma?

30
Q

True or False

The optic nerve is myelinated.

A

True

31
Q

What cells myelinated the optic nerve?

A

Interfasicular oligodendrocytes

32
Q

In the optic chiasma what side of the Retina will cross?

A

Medial side

Nasal

33
Q

In the optic chiasma what side of the Retina will not cross?

A

Lateral side

34
Q

When the 2 optic nerves split up again they form what?

A

Optic tract

35
Q

What structure does the optic tract travel around to get to one of the nuclei of termination?

A

Cerebral peduncles

36
Q

What are the nuclei of termination for C.N.2?

A
  1. Lateral Geniculate Body
  2. Sup. Colliculus
  3. Pretectal nucleus of the midbrain
37
Q

Where does the majority of the optic tract information go to terminate?

A

The lateral geniculate body

38
Q

Where does the lateral geniculate body relay information to?

A

Cerebral cortex in the occipital lobe

39
Q

What brdmn area does the lateral geniculate body send information to?

A

17

40
Q

Where does the Sup. Collicus relay information to?

A

Tectospinal tract

41
Q

What muscles are influenced by the tectospinal tract?

A
  1. SCM

2. Trapezius

42
Q

Nuclei of termination is for sensory or motor

A

Sensory

43
Q

Nuclei of origin is for sensory or motor?

A

Motor

44
Q

Pretectal nuclues of the midbrain deal with what?

A

Light reflexes

45
Q

How many neurons are in the C.N.2 pathway?

A

4

5 if counting the relay neuron

46
Q

What the signs and symptoms associated with a lesion of the optic nerve?

A

Loss of depth perception

47
Q

What are the signs and symptoms associated with a lesion of the optic chiasma?

A

Tunnel vision

48
Q

What are the signs and symptoms associated with a lesion in the optic tract?

A

Loss of 1/2 the visual field

49
Q

What is the process of the direct and consensual light reflex?

A

Shine light in one eye having a piece of paper at the bridge of their nose so other eye does not see this light
Ipsilateral eye constricts
Contralateral eye constricts (just not as much)

50
Q

What is the accommodation reflex?

A

When you look at something near you like a book, then look up at something far away out a window
(Accomadation of near vision to far vision)

51
Q

What is the process of the corneal reflex?

A

Use a cotton ball and touch the eye.

Patient should pull away

52
Q

What is convergence?

A

Eyes both moving medially
