Vision

Question 0

What is the retina?

Answer 0

The interior of the eye where images are projected onto.

Question 1

Photoreceptors

Answer 1

Receptors on the eyes that allow us to see

Question 2

What is the cornea?

Answer 2

Transparent convex tissue on the eye that focuses light. Reason for shitty eye sight

Question 3

Iris

Answer 3

the area of the eye that is colored

Question 4

Pupil

Answer 4

Can contract to focus the light

Question 5

Lens

Answer 5

Behind the iris, allows for more focusing.

Question 6

What kind of receptors are one the retina?

Answer 6

Cones and rods

Question 7

Cones

Answer 7

Permit color vision

Question 8

Rods

Answer 8

Sensitivity in darkness

Question 9

Where are cones most concentrated?

Answer 9

In the fovea, the area that is in the direct line of sight.

Question 10

What photochemical is in rods?

Answer 10

Rhodopsin. When it is hit by light, it breaks down which causes AP

Question 11

What is dark adaptation?

Answer 11

You come inside and all the rods are inactive because rhodopsin was destroyed.

Question 12

Neural convergence

Answer 12

This is the reason why we have difference in rods vs cones. They send their info to the bipolar neurons different. Rods send in a lot of info to bipolar, but loses information that way. Cones are 1:1 with the bipolar neurons

Question 13

Where do bipolar cells send their synapses to?

Answer 13

ganglion cells
