Antworten
-
sclera
-
retina
-
cornea
-
vitreous humor
Frage 13
Frage
It is difficult to distinguish between colors at night because:
Antworten
-
we are seeing primarily in the cones
-
rods do not adapt to the darl
-
we are seeing primarily with the rods
-
we are used to seeing mostly with the fovea
Frage 14
Frage

They are responsible for black and white wishion
-
They are concentrated n the center of they eye
-
They operated mainly at night
-
They respond only to black and white

Antworten
-
optic
-
vestibular
-
occipital
-
auricular
Frage 16
Frage
What causes the "blind spot" in the vision of both eyes?
Antworten
-
the inconsistent surface of the cornea
-
the folded area of the fovea that occurs where the cones are the most dense
-
the optic nerve passing through the retina as it leaves the eye
-
the concentration of ganglion cells in the center of the optic nerve blocking light

Antworten
-
our nose and chin are located between our ears on the front of our faces
-
our cochleae are spiral-shaped instead of straight and flat
-
our ears are located directly adjacent to the temporal lobes of the cerebrum
-

Frage 24
Frage
Which of the following describes what happens if you trace an auditory stimulus from the time it first reaches the ear until it arrives at the brain?
Antworten
-
The outermost part of the ear (pinna) gathers sound waves and funnels them down the ear canal striking the eardrum
-
The basilar membrane causes the hammer, anvil, and stirrup to vibrate striking the oval window
-
The auditory cones respond to the various tonal frequencies, which lead the auditory nerve to send a message to the brain
-
