Types of vision include:
Photopic (daytime)
Mesopic (dusk)
Scotopic (night)
Photopic visions relies upon:
Cones:
1) Produces sharp images and color vision
2) Requires use of central vision
Mesopic vision relies upon:
Both rods and cones
Middle ground between the other two.
Scotopic vision relies upon:
Primarily Rods: Poor visual acuity No color vision Causes night blind spot Requires use of peripheral vision and "off-center" viewing
The “Night Blind Spot” is a result of the existence of the __________ and is located _______.

The ________ sensory system is located within the inner ear and detects motion and gravity.
Vestibular
The Vestibular Sensory System is composed of:
