B. Later inhibition lowers the level of signals the brain had been receiving
C. Both the first and second receptor designs are utilized

Which is a correct statement about color vision?
A. Colors are determined by individual cones
B. The typical red-green color blindness does not result from a decreased number of cones
C. The sympathetic response will result in less cone activation
D. Because of our reliance on color vision, there are more cones than rods in our blind spot
B. The typical red-green color blindness does not result from a decreased number of cones
During lecture, the octopus eye was considered a better design than the human eye. Which is a correct statement about why octopus eye is better?
A. It does not have a blind spot because its receptors are closer to their lens than its afferent neurons
B. It utilizes the first design so it is faster to get the information to the CNS
C. It requires more photons to cross its cornea for detection to occur
D. All three statements are correct
A. It does not have a blind spot because its receptors are closer to their lens than its afferent neurons
