Q

Process of charting the fields of vision

19
Q

Lack of rods and cones in the retina overoptic disc

15 degrees lateral to the central point of vision

A

Blind spot

20
Q

Caused by damage to the optic nerve causes include glaucomas, immune reactions in the retina or toxic conditions like lead poisoning and excess tobacco

21
Q

Degeneration of parts of retina
Excessive melanin pigment
Blindness in peripheral field then gradually enroaches on the central areas

A

Retinitis pigmentosa

22
Q

Visual pathway

A
Visual field
Retina
Optic nerve
Optic chiasm
Optic tract
Lateral geniculate nucleus
Optic radiations
Primary visual cortex BA 17
Secondary BA18
23
Q

Eye adapt to extremely rapidly changing light conditions

A

Pupillary light reflex

24
Parasympathectic stimulation excites the pupillary sphincter muscle to constrict the pupil
Miosis
25
Sympa excites the radial fibers of the iris and causes dilation
Mydriasis
26
Stimulation of retina sends impulses to edinger wetphal nucleus to constrict iris
Bright light
27
Inhibition of reflex hence mydriasis
Darkness
28
Loss of consensual pupillary light reflex
CN 3 lesion
29
Loss of direct pupillary light reflex
CN2 lesion
30
Calcarine fissure extending towards the occipital pole medial to each occipital cortex
BA 17

Analysis and meaning to visualized objects occur | Lateral, anterior, superior and inferior to primary visual

Loss of red cones | Shortened wavelength
Protanope
36
Loss of green cone | Normal wave length
Deuternope
37
Genetic disorder that is x linked recessive | Males
Red-green blindness
38
Infuenced by monocular and binocular cues
Depth perception
39
If we know the range of sizes of people, cats
Previous familiarity
40
As we move our heads or bodies, nearby objects appear to move more quickly than distant objects
Motion parallax
41
Previous familiarity | Motion parallax
Monocular cues
42
One eye is approximately 2 inches from the other causing a difference in what the two retinas perceive.
Stereopsis | Binocular cues
43
Light resets the biological clock in accordance with the phase response curve
Sleep and wake cYcle
44
Light sensitive portion of the eye that contains photoreceptors
Retina
45
Responsible for light and color vision
Cones
46
Detect the presence and absence of light
Rods
