Frage Antworten
liquid the eye is surrounded by aqueous and vitreous liquid
ciliary muscle adjusts lens
accomodation range - reflex of the eye when focusing - NEAR VISION -Ciliary muscle CONTRACT - Thicker lens - suspensory ligaments SLACK
unaccomodated range CM relaxes - thin lens SL tense
can the retina be seen through the a device? Yes, using the ophthalmoscope we can see the retina due to light receptors (ie. bc there isl ight there)
myopia short-sightedness;light rays focus on front of retina
hyperopia hyper(long) - farsightedness; Light rays focus beyond the retina (picture the digram)
what are the 5 classes of neurons? photoreceptors, bipolar cells, ganglion cells; horizontal cells and the amacrine cells
what is the quicket route to the brain from the retina (neuronal) PR > BC > GC> optic nerve (the brain)
3 layers of the retinal nucleus: inner nucleus layers; BCs, HCs, ACs nuclei
3 layers of the retinal nucleus:GC layer retinal nucleus layer; gc layer has gc nuclei
3 layers of the retinal nucleus: outernucleus layers PRs nuclei
what are rods? PRs sensitive to light and dark colours. good for darkness.
what are cones? PRs, that are colour sensitive. good in light area. - light causes a great change ie. hyperpolarisation: voltage decreases.
gmp-gated channels are activators for what? Na+ channels OPEN, more NA and CA in neuron
what happens to rods when they are exposed to light? light exposure decudes the cGMP why? bc amt of light is depedent on the amt of agtes opened.
when are PRs active? active? when they reach threshold.
active threshold of cones? - when in the dark, it is inactive. - only active when there is light.
rods also do what? these photoreceptors also detect movement
there are more cones in this area of the macular; why? there is a higher amt of cones for focusing (high acuity) ie. for reading. - higher spatail freq - higher resolution
the optic disc nicknamed the 'the blind spot' bc we cannot see anything there. - why? no PRs
how many photopigments to rods have? 1 pp
there are 3 different cones; each with what to allow them to work? 3 diff cones for 3 diff pps /wavelengths these are long, medium and short (RBG pps)
protanopia loss of LONG wavelength (red pps)
deutenopia loss of medium w/l (blue pps)
on-center GC activate on center when there is light
off-center GC activate OFF center whenb it is dark
what NT is released in cones? GLUTAMANE
what happens to more release of glutamane? hits ganglion cells and fires more rapidly.
