Q

cerebrospinal fluid vs blood

A

higher conc of Chloride and H+

Almost all constituents of CSF are found in lower concentration than that of blood with the exception of Chloride and H+, which are higher. Thus, the pH and the PO2 of the CSF are lower than that of the arterial blood. Protein is lower in the CSF (in fact it is almost absent in the normal CSF). The glucose in CSF is 2/3 that of the blood.

Q

subretinal space occurs between:

A

the RPE and the neural retina

135
Q

brimonidine (alphagan) dual action and class

A

Alpha-2 adrenergic agonists

brimonidine work by a dual mechanism, decreasing aqueous production and increasing outflow

136
Q

retinal pigment epithelium is:

A

The RPE is a monolayer of columnar/cuboidal epithelial cells.

137
Q

Chlamydia trachomatis (Subtype)

A

Subtypes A to C cause trachoma (eye to eye contact)

while subtypes D to K cause paratrachoma (sexually transmitted).

138
Q

10mm

139
Q

lens curvature, which side is more curved

A

Anterior

anterior radius of curvature is greater than the posterior curvature

140
Q

firm point of attachment between the choroid and sclera

A

vortex veins

141
Q

blind spot on visual fields how many degree

A

15

blind spot on visual fields (produced by the optic nerve) is 15 degrees from fixation, corresponding with the displacement of the optic nerve from the fovea.

142
Q

Astrocytic hamartomas within the retina:

A

Tuberous sclerosis

143
Q

synoptophore

A

Equipment which can be used to assess the angle of deviation and binocular potential at a theoretical distance fixation.

144
Q

acanthamoeba corneal biopsy

A

double-walled cyst form or the trophozoite is seen in corneal biopsy

145
Q

CMV retinitis causes

A

Causes a necrotizing retinitis involving all retinal layers. Intranuclear inclusion bodies may be found

146
Q

Drusen is situated

A

Drusen is situated between the basement membrane of the RPE and the Bruch’s membrane.

147
Q

Corneal guttatae

A

small excrescences of Descemet’s membrane

Corneal guttatae are the hallmark of Fuchs dystrophy and represent the earliest sign of the disease. They are seen clinically on the slit lamp where they are best observed by retroillumination. Histologically they represent small excrescences of Descemet’s membrane. These are typically exophytic protruding posteriorly into the anterior chamber.

148
Q

primary visual cortex (area)

area 17

149
Q

A

angle of incidence equals the angle of emergence
