Q

white, tough outer layer of eyeball

A

sclera

25
Q

why can the retina pull away form the back of the eyeball?

A

the retina is only “attached” to the eyeball at the optic disc. Fluid can get between the choroid and the retina, pushing the retina away from the choroid

34
Q

photoreceptor used in night vision

A

rods

35
Q

rods and cones synapse on these cells

A

bipolar cell layer

36
Q

Accommodation

A

the change in the shape of lens required to focus close objects on the central fovea

location of the olfactory epithelium

A

superior portion of nasal cavity

50
