Q

What is the function of the macula?

A

Q

What angle does light enter the eye if an object is far away, and what happens to the lens?

A

The light rays are parallel. The lens is flat and thin. Cilary muscle is relaxed therefore suspension filaments are taut.

Q

What is near response?

A

The responses to a near sighted object. Lens thickening, pupils contracting and the eyes crossing slightly.

Q

What is edge effect?

A

Constriction of the iris occurs to prevent this in near response. It is where the lens is less effective at bending light around the edge of the lense, so the pupil dilates to cancel out this area.

17
Q

What layer of the eye supplies blood supply?

A

Chorid layer. Middle layer.

18
Q

What area of the eye causes the blind spot?

A

The optic disk

19
Q

How many Cones and the Rods attach to one ganglion?

A

Cones = 1

Rods = many

20
Q

What are the 3 different colours of cones?

A

Blue, Green and Red

21
Q

What is the name given to the area where the optic nerve crosses over?

A

Optic Chasim

22
Q

What is the name of the pigment in Rods?

A

Rhodopsin - which is further broken down to ‘Opsin’ and ‘retinal’
