Q

What are the functions of the vascular layer?

A
  1. Provides route for blood vessels and lymphatics that supply tissues of eye.
  2. Regulates amount of light entering eye.
  3. Secretes and reabsorbs aqueous humor that circulates within chambers of the eye.

Q

Bipolar cells

A

Synapse with rods and cones

29
Q

Ganglion cells

A

Synapse with bipolar cells.

30
Q

Horizontal and amacrine cells

A

Facilitate or inhibit communication between photoreceptors and ganglion cells and alter sensitivity of retina.

31
Q

What part of the eye has no photoreceptors?

A

Blind spot

32
Q

Aqueous humor

A

Diffuses through posterior cavity, enters scleral venous sinus at corneoscleral junction and reenters circulation at veins in the scerla.

33
Q

Lens fibers

A

Enucleate cells in interior of lens and filled with crystallins, which provide clarity and focusing power.

34
Q

Focal point

A

Specific point of intersection of light rays on retina.

35
Q

Focal distance

A

Distance between center of lens and focal point.

36
Q

How is the focal distance determined?

A

Distance of object from lens and shape of lens.

37
Q

Accommodation

A

Automatic adjustment of eye to provide clear vision.

38
Q

Astigmatism

A

Condition where light passing through cornea and lens is not refracted properly.

39
Q

What is visual acuity for someone who is legally blind?

A

20/200

40
Q

Scotoma

A

Abnormal, permanent blind spot, may result from compression of optic nerve, damage to photoreceptors, or central damage.

41
Q

What are the 4 steps to photoreception?

A
  1. Absorption of a photon changes retinal from 11-cis to 11-trans form and activates opsin.
  2. Opsin activates transducin (G protien) which activates phosphodiesterase (PDE)
  3. PDE reduces levels of cyclic GMP chemically gated sodium ion channels close.
  4. Dark current is reduced, rate of neurotransmitter release declines.
42
Q

Dark adapted state

A

Visual pigments are fully receptive to stimulation.

43
Q

Light adapted state

A

Rates of bleaching and reassembly of visual pigments are balanced.

44
Q

Retinitis pigmentosa

A

Inherited disease and characterized by progressive retinal degeneration.

45
Q

M cells

A

Monitor rods, relatively large, and provide information about general form of an object motion, shadows in dim lighting.

46
Q

P cells

A

Monitor cones in foveas, ratio of cones to ganglion cells is 1:1, smaller and more numerous than M cells and provide information about edges, fine detail and color.

47
Q

On center neurons

A

Excited by light arriving in center of receptive field and inhibited when light strikes edges.

48
Q

Off center neurons

A

Inhibited by light in central zone and stimulated by light at edges.

49
Q

Optic radiation

A

Bundle of projections fibers linking lateral geniculates with visual cortex.

50
Q

What are the smallest synovial joints in the body?

A

Auditory ossicles

51
Q

Bony labyrinth can be subdivided into what 3 parts?

A
  1. Vestibule
  2. Semicircular canals
  3. Cochlea

54
Q

Oval window

A

Connected to base of stapes by collagen fibers.

55
Q

What do ampullary crest contain?

A

Hair cells

56

Q

Macula of utricle

A

senses horizontal movement

59
Q

Macula of saccule

A

Senses vertical movement

60
Q

Otoliths

A

(ear stones) Densely packed calcium carbonate crystals on surface of gelatinous mass.

61
Q

4 functions of the vestibular nuclei

A
  1. Intergrate sensory information about balance and equilibrium from bothsides of head
  2. Relay information from vestibular complex to cerebellum.
  3. Relay information from vestibular complex to cerebral cortex.
  4. Send commands to motor nuclei in brainstem and spinal cord.
62
Q

Nystagmus

A

Trouble controlling eye movements when body is stationary and caused by damage to brainstem or internal ear.

63
Q

Pressure wave

A

Consists of a region where air molecules are crowded together, and adjacent zone where they are farther apart.

64
Q

Wavelength

A

Distance between two adjacent wave crests.

65
Q

Frequency

A

Number of waves that pass a fixed reference point in a given time.

66
Q

Pitch

A

Our sensory response to frequency

67
Q
