protective of the fibrous layer, is seen
anteriorly as the “white of the eye.”

A

sclera

26
Q

transparent of the fibrous layer, which light
enters the eye.

A

cornea

27
Q

The middle of the eyeball, has three distinguishable regions.

A

vascular layer

28
Q

Most posterior, a blood rich nutritive tunic that contains a dark pigment. The pigment prevents light from scattering inside the eye.

A

choroid

29
Q

which is attached to the lens by a suspensory ligament called the ciliary zonule, and the iris.

A

ciliary body

30
Q

The pigmented iris has a rounded opening, through which light passes.

A

the pupil

31
Q

The innermost, of the eye is the delicate two-layered retina.

A

sensory layer

32
Q

The outer layer of retina, which extends anteriorly only to the ciliary body. Absorb light and prevent light from scattering inside the eye.

A

pigmented layer

33
Q

They also act as phagocytes to remove dead or damaged receptor cells and store vitamin A needed for vision.

A

pigmented layer

34
Q

The transparent inner of the retina

A

neural layer

35
Q

photoreceptors

A

rods and cones

36
Q

Electrical signals pass from the photoreceptors via a two-neuron chain

A

bipolar cells

37
Q

electrical signals pass before leaving the retina via optic nerve

A

ganglion cells

38
Q

interpreted by and the result is vision.

A

the optic cortex.

39
Q

it results in a blind spot in our vision

A

optic disc

40
Q

are densest at the periphery, or edge, of the retina and decrease in number as the center of the retina is approached and allow us to see in gray tones in dim light, and they provide our peripheral vision.

A

rods

41
Q

a tiny pit that contains only cones

A

fovea centralis

42
Q

are discriminatory receptors that allow us to see the details of our world in color under bright light conditions and are densest in the center of the retina and decrease in number toward the retinal edge.

A

cones

43
Q

responds to a light-trapping dendrite, in which the discs containing the visual pigments
are stacked like a row of pennies.

A

outer segment

44
Q

Light entering the eye is focused on the retina by a flexible biconvex crystal-like structure.

A

lens

45
Q

the loss of lens transparency, cause vision to become hazy and distorted and can eventually cause blindness.

A

cataracts

46
Q

The anterior (aqueous) segment, anterior to the lens, contains a clear watery fluid called…
is similar to blood plasma and is continually
secreted by a special area of the choroid.

A

aqueous humor

47
Q

The posterior (vitreous) segment, posterior to the lens, is filled with a gel-like substance called

A

vitreous humor or vitreous body

48
Q

Aqueous humor is reabsorbed into the venous blood through, which is located at the junction of the sclera and cornea.

A

scleral venous sinus, or canal of Schlemm

49
Q

“vision going gray”- If drainage of aqueous humor is blocked, fluid backs up like a clogged sink. Pressure within the eye may increase to dangerous levels and compress the delicate retina and optic nerve.

A

glaucoma

50
Q

When light passes from one substance to another substance that has a different density, its speed changes and its rays are bent, or

A

refracted

51
Q

Axons carrying impulses from the retina are bundled together at the posterior aspect of the eyeball and leave the back of the eye as the

A

optic nerve

51
Q

This ability of the eye to focus specifically for close objects (those less than 20 feet away) is called

A

accommodation

51
Q

The image formed on the retina as a result of the light bending activity of the lens is a

A

real image

52
Q

at the optic chiasma, the fibers from the medial side of each eye cross over to the opposite side of the brain. The fiber tracts that result are the

A

optic tracts

53
Q

is the loss of the same side of the visual field of both eyes, which results from damage to the visual cortex on one side only (as occurs in some strokes).

A

Hemianopia

54
Q

The eye that focuses images correctly on the retina is said to have

A

emmetropia

55
Q

occurs when the parallel light rays from distant objects fail to reach the retina and instead are focused in front of it

A

myopia (nearsighted)

56
Q

occurs when the parallel light rays from distant objects are focused behind the retina—at least in the resting eye, in which the lens is flat and the ciliary muscle is relaxed

A

Hyperopia (farsighted)

57
Q

When the eyes are suddenly exposed to bright light, the pupils immediately constrict; this is the

A

photopupillary reflex.

58
Q

which is the reflexive movement of the eyes medially when we view close objects.

A

convergence

59
Q

The pupils also constrict reflexively when we view close objects; this provides more acute vision

A

accommodation pupillary reflex
