visual exam Flashcards
exam 2
inferior retina sees the
upper portion of the visual field
superior retina sees the
lower field of the visual field
temporal retina sees the
nasal field
nasal retinal sees the
temporal field
what allows for visual acuity
central part of the retina- fovea
are the rods or cones where the optic nerve leaves the eye?
Nope
The optic nerve head receives ________ axons as they arch from above and below the horizontal meridian of the retina.
retinal ganglion cell
Most visual field defects begin in
the center of vision and move out towards the periphery.
is there a loss of arcuate distribution of the optic nerve as the fibers carrying the information travel through the orbit toward the optic chiams?
yea
afferent pupillary information cross the chiasm to reach the
edinger-westphal nucleus in the midbrain
For RAPD, what happens when the eye stimulate with light has a damaged optic nerve?
both pupil will dilate instead of constrict
True or false:
at the chiasm axons from temporal retinal cross but not those of the nasal retina?
false
nasal retina cross but not temporal retinal
optic tract carried information from the _______ of both eyes to the ________
from the contralateral hemifield of both eyes to the geniculate bodies
fiber carrying information from the lower retinal loop downward into the
temporal lobe- Meyer’s loop
upper retina run more directly though the
parietal lobe
