Visual Fields and System Flashcards
what is pigment of a photoreceptor?
rhodopsin
where are rods located in retina?
only in peripheral
where are cones located in retina?
center of retina mainly
increased ICP leads to what in optic disc?
papilledema
where does left visual field map in cortex?
right hemi
where does right visual field map in cortex?
left hemi
where does vision synapse in thalamus?
LGN
where is primary visual cortex in occipital lobe?
primarily in the medial aspect of it
the lower portion of the primary visual cortex is for the upper or lower visual field?
upper visual field
the upper portion of the primary visual cortex is for the upper or lower visual field?
lower visual field
what divides the upper and lower portions of the primary visual cortex?
calcarine sulcus
the left eye left visual field hits where on retina?
medial portion of left retina
the left eye right field hits where on retina?
temporal aspect
the right eye right visual field hits where on retina?
medial portion of right retina
the right eye left visual field hits where on retina?
temporal aspect
what two visual fields cross in the optic chiasm?
right eye right visual field and left eye left visual field
clip of right optic nerve leads to what change in vision? what is this called?
loss of right eye vision, right anopia
clip of left optic nerve leads to what change in vision? what is this called?
loss of left eye vision, left anopia
clip of optic chiasm leads to what change in vision? what is this called?
bilateral hemianopia…loss of outer fields in both eyes
what is a common lesion that causes bilateral hemianopia? where is issue with bilateral hemianopia?
pituitary lesion…in optic chiasm
clip of right optic tract leads to what change in vision? what is this called?
loss of left visual field in left eye and left visual field in right eye
called left homonymous hemianopia
what is homonymous hemianopia?
cut in optic tract, lose opposite field of side of lesion on both eyes
what usually causes homonymous hemianopia?
cut in optic tract
after the LGN, what are the two tracts to the primary visual cortex?
Meyer loop and dorsal optic radiation
