Q

What organ is of primary importance for focus and how does it work?

Q

What are the parts of the fibrous Tunic?

A

The sclera and the cornea

26
Q

What is the Ora Serrata?

A

It connects the retina and the ciliary body

27
Q

What kind of tissue composes the cornea and what make it so clear.

A

It is highly regularly arranged college fibers. The hexagonal arrangement of the fibroblasts make is clear.

28
Q

What are the folks above and below the eyes called?

A

The superior and inferior palpebral suclus (sulci)

29
Q

What is the shape of the lens when focusing up close?

A

Rounder

30
Q

About how many rods converge onto one ganglion cell?

A

About 500-600

31
Q

What type of eye cell divides more rapidly than any cell in the body?

A

Corneal epithelium

32
Q

What pigment gives color the choroid and what is its function?

A

Melanin. The black color absorbs photons to they don’t cause interference in vision.

33
Q

What can be an effect of damage to the conjunctiva and why?

A

Infections that can reach to CNS due to the fact the eye is an invagination from the brain.

34
Q

What cranial nerve control the lateral rectus?

A

Aducens

35
Q

What is the photopupilary reflex?

A

Dilation of pupils after bright light

36
Q

When the lens is flattened what is happening with the suspensory ligament and the ciliary muscle?

A

The suspensory ligament is shortened. The Ciliary muscle is contracted.

37
Q

What happens when the production of Aqueous humor exceeds the draining?

A

It leads to excess pressure which causes glaucoma

38
Q

What is presbyopia, what causes it?

A

the lens and ligaments hardening over time so that they can’t fully relax

39
Q

What is horizontal cell in the retina?

A

An an-axonic cell that causes lateral inhibittion to adjacent rod cells in the presence of a photon increase accuity

40
Q

What cranial nerve controls the superior oblique

A

Trochlear

41
Q

What is the visible spectrum for people

A

about 400-750NM

42
Q

What is an Amacrine cell?

A

It is a cell that excites the bi-polar cells in different conditions (i.e. direction-specific motion)

43
Q

Macula Lutea

A

Area of sharp vision surrounding fovea centralis

44
Q

What is the direction of flow of the aqueous humor?

A

From the posterior chamber of the anterior cavity through the pupil and out the canal of Schlemm

45
Q

What are functions of the aqueous humor?

A

To maintain eye shape and provide Nutrients for cornea and lens.

46
Q

Review 46 minute mark

A
47
Q

Where is the lacrimal gland?

A

Superior lateral side of the eye in eye in the frontal bone

48
Q

Lacrimal caruncle

A

.

49
Q

What percent of all sensory receptors are in the eyes?

A

Over 80%

50
Q

What are the 4 extrinsic eye muscles controlled by the oculomotor nerve?

A

The superior, median, and inferior rectus and the inferior oblique.

51
Q

What is the configuration of the lens when the Ciliary muscle is contracted?

A

round

52
Q

Describe the Fovea Centralis

A

Central area at back of eye Highest concentration of cones

53
Q

What is in the nervous tunic?

A

The retina, the optic disc, the optic nerve, and the retina blood vessels

54
Q

What is a tapetum?

A

The reflective part in the eye in animals that can see in the dark.

55
Q

Where does Aqueous humor drain?

A

Canal of Schlemm

56
Q

What are the parts are the vascular tunic?

A

Choroid, iris, and pupil, lens and Ciliary body.

57
Q

What causes a detached retina and why can it lead to blindness or blind spots?

A

A blow to the head (boxer’s), lack of vitreous fluid.. When it detached it loses blood supply and the neurons die.

58
Q

Describe the Lacrimal Apparatus following the parts of tears.

A

Tears are formed in the lacrimal gland. They drain medially into the lateral puctum, which is the entrance to the lacrimal canal. The panel drains in the nasolacrimal duct and into the nose from there.

59
Q

What is convergence?

A

Moving eyes (crossing eyes slightly)

60
Q

What is the shape of the lens when focusing farther away?

A

Flatter.
