-close object/ciliary muscle tighten(hand)/ tendons relax(string between palm and fingers),lens become rounded(fist/hand)

27
Q

In vision, light is converted to action potentials and sent to brain through ___

A

optical nerve

28
Q

Processed signal is sent via the optic nerve through the

A

lateral geniculate nuclei to
the visual cortex.

29
Q

what is the direct pathway of vision

A

photoreceptors-bipolar cells-ganglion cells

30
Q

horizontal cells

A

receive information
from the photoreceptors and transmit
it to surrounding bipolar neurons

31
Q

amacrine cells

A

receive their inputs
from the bipolar cells and activate the
ganglion neurons that are in their
vicinity.

32
Q

amacrine cells are located in

A

retina of the eye

33
Q

amacrine release what type of neurons?

A

dopamine secreting neuron

34
Q

T/F During the daylight, i expect horizontal cells to be active

A

False-amacrine cells release dpamine during daylight.To enhance the activity of cone cells in the retina while suppressing rod cells

35
Q

cone cells are beneficial during the day because they..

A

increase sensitivity
for detecting light of different wavelengths
(colors)

36
Q

rods are beneficial during the night to be active because…

A

Specialized for detection of low-intensity light

37
Q

horizontal cells are responsible for what?

A

responsible for allowing eyes to adjust to see well under both bright and dim light conditions (involved with lateral
inhibition)

38
Q

How are structures of cones and rods similar?

A

Both contain
-outer segment(photopigment)
-inner segment
-synaptic terminal
(retina)

39
Q

T/F Rods are conical

A

False:
Cones are conical
Rods are cylindrical

40
Q

In rods, photopigment (or photoreceptive molecule)

A

rhodopsin.

41
Q

Rhodopsin

A

= retinal + opsin= photopigment found in rods; is a G-protein coupled receptor

42
Q

In cones, photopigment (or photoreceptrive molecule)

A

is iodopsin
-absorb light of overlapping wavelength ranges
-Gives rise to the perception of a particular color in the brain

43
Q

Iodopsins contain the protein complexes:

A

photopsin I, II, or III.

44
Q

photopsin in iodopsins respond to what 3 colors?

A

blue, red, green

45
Q

Photopigments (such as rhodopsin, iodopsin) are found in the

A

discs of photoreceptor cells (that is, the rods and cones)

46
Q

photopigment made up of

A

retinal combined with an opsin protein

47
Q

In the rods and cones, light causes a

A

hyperpolarization

48
Q

In the dark the rod cell is

A

depolarized because sodium channels are open and releases glutamate, glutamate has inhibitory reaction on bipolar cells prevent AP, saying their is no light

49
Q

how does glutamate relate to AP?

A

When glutamate is
not released (or
reduced) from the
rod cell, the bipolar cell
is no longer inhibited
and can now stimulate
ganglion cells produce
APs, send signal to brain

50
Q

Explain the mechanism of how light causes hyperpolarization

A

1/light activates rhodopsin on rod cell
2.G protein complex activated
3. activates phosphodiesterase cGMP to GMP
4. closes Na+ channels
4.gluatmate from rod cell decreases
5. bipolar cells can stimulate AP, no longer inhibited

51
Q

T/F there are more ganglion cells than photoreceptors

A

ganglion recieve signals from bipolar cells get signals from the receptive field(group of photoreceptors)

52
Q

Receptive field of a bipolar cell

A

is a circular area of the retina

53
Q

Receptive field has what two parts

A

Receptive field center
Receptive field surround

54
Q

Receptive field surround

A

provides an indirect input from the
photoreceptors to the bipolar cells via horizontal cells

55
Q

Receptive field center:

A

provides a direct input from the
photoreceptors to the bipolar cells

56
Q

When stimulated, bipolar cells
exhibit

A

graded potentials.
Each on-center bipolar cell, in turn, synapses with an on-center ganglion cell and each off-center bipolar cell synapses with an off-center ganglion cell (simplified).

57
Q

When the receptive field center is in dark,
photoreceptor cells (e.g. rods)

A

are depolarized
and they release glutamate constantly.

58
Q

describe the on-center pathway when receptive field is dark

A

Glutamate stimulates metabotropic glutamate receptors on
the on-center bipolar cells, K+ (potassium)
channels are opened, on-center bipolar cell is hyperpolarized, which
results in a decrease in the release of their
transmitter to ganglion cells. aka not transferring light

59
Q

describe the off-center pathway when receptive field is dark

A

Glutamate stimulates ionotropic glutamate
receptors on the off-center bipolar cells, Na+ channels are opened,
off-center bipolar cell is depolarized, and the release of its transmitter (probably glutamate) is increased, results in an increase in the firing of
the corresponding off-center ganglion cells

60
Q

When the photoreceptor cell (e.g. rod) in the receptive field center receives a light stimulus

A

it is hyperpolarized and glutamate release from its terminals is decreased

61
Q

the reduction in the release of glutamate from the photoreceptor terminals causes

A

depolarization of the on-center bipolar cell and an increase in its transmitter release which, in turn, results in an increase in the firing of thecorresponding on-center ganglion cells

62
Q

The reduction in the release of glutamate from the photoreceptor terminals causes

A

hyperpolarization of the off-center bipolar cell and there is a decrease in its transmitter release, which results in a decrease in the firing of the corresponding off-center ganglion cells.

63
Q

One _____can synapse with a set of photoreceptive cells.

A

bipolar cell

64
Q

in on-center bipolar cells glutamate
results

A

in an efflux of K+ (hyperpolarization)

65
Q

In off-center bipolar cells, glutamate results in an

A

influx of Na+ (depolarization)

66
Q

Retina processing by on-
center and off-center
ganglion cells enhances

A

differences in relative (rather
than absolute) brightness, which
helps define contours
