Lecture 5 pupils Flashcards
Normal pupils are (equal/unequal) members of a team
equal
The pupil control system is so important it has (two/three) “managers”
two
occurence of two simultaneous movements associated with one another is called a (synergy/synkinesis/triad)
synkinesis
T/F the pupils have not connection to the rest of the body
F. The pupils reflect the body they live in
(one/both) pupils dilate to allow in more light
(one/both)pupils constrict to allow better focus
both , both
If you illuminate one pupil (both/one) pupil will respond
both -it is consensual
when you are shinning the light to one pupil and checking that same pupil.that is called (direct/consensual)
direct
T/F both pupils are equal in size
T
both pupils will respond equally if a light stimulus is moved will respond (equally/unequally) if a light stimulus is moved from one eye to another
equally
Anisocoria is when the pupils are (equal/unequal)
unequal-its an anatomic defect
What is the normal size of pupils within each other in mm? A)1.0 B)0.75 C)0.5 D)1.5
0.5
T/F the level of illumination will not change the amount of anisocoria
T
What are the two systems that control pupils?
para and sympathetic system
In charge of closing (miosis/pupil constriction)
Pupillary light reflex
Target is the iris sphincter
Neurotransmitter is acetylcholine
–is what the (parasympathetic/sympathetic) systems is in charge of
parasympathetic
About (half/all) the fibers cross over at the __(optic chiasm/brain/cerebellum)__ when light illuminates the retina and signals are carried by the nerve fibers to the brain
half
optic chiasm
Fibers of the pupil leave the optic tract adn enter teh _(brachium/midbrain) of the superior coliculus
brachium
pupil fibers head from the (cerebellum/midbrain) toe the pretectal nucleus
midbrain
The fibers of the pupil leave the optic tract and enter the brachium of the superior coliculus
The pupil fibers head for the midbrain to the pretectal nucleus
describes the pupillary light reflex it s (efferent/afferent) pathway
afferent
The (midbrain/pretecal/brachium) nucleus sends information to the Edinger-westphal nucleus on both sides
The signal travesl via CN (V / III)
pretecal
III
The pretectal nucleus sends information to Edinger-Westphal nucleus on both sides
The signal travels via CN III back to eye
describes the pupillary light reflex it s (efferent/afferent) pathway
efferent pathway
- .The pretectal nucleus sends information to Edinger-Westphal nucleus on both sides
- .Both pupils constrict!
- .Synapse at the ciliary ganglion
- .The signal travels via CN III back to eye
- .End destination is the iris sphincter
-put these in the correct order
- The pretectal nucleus sends information to Edinger-Westphal nucleus on both sides
- The signal travels via CN III back to eye
- Synapse at the ciliary ganglion
- End destination is the iris sphincter
- Both pupils constrict!
After synapse happens at the ciliary ganglion what is the end destination?
iris sphincter
In charge of opening (mydriasis/dilation)
Normal alert person
Target is the iris dilator
Two neurotransmitters:
Preganglionic is acetylcholine
Post ganglionic is nor-epinephrine
–is what the (parasympathetic/sympathetic) systems is in charge of
sympathetic
Hypothalamus is in charge of (parasympathetic/sympathetic) impulses
sympathetic
Sympathetic pathway has a (two/three) neuron are
three
Name the three neuron arc:
___ order neuron
____order neuron
___order neuron
first, second, third
The (hypothalamus/hippus) give vermiform movement and rhythmic movement of pupils
hippus
the (hypthalamus/hippus) is responsible for the unstable equilibrium between teh sphincter and dilator
hippus
T/F hippus is controlled by both the para and sympathetic systems
T
Near triad includes what?
accommodation, convergence, miosis
The Near triad is (dependent/independent) of illumination
Decreased accommodative ability
Hyperopes accommodating at distance
independent
older pupils are (larger/smaller)
smaller
