The ossicles: a. directly connect the tympanic membrane with the tectorial membrane b. provide mechanical advantage for the transmission of force to the oval window c. are composed of the incus, malleus, stapes, and pinna d. are tiny muscles providing mechanical force to dampen sound
Which of the following statements explains why vision is less sharp in dim light than in bright light?a. Cones are more responsive in dim light.b. There are more rods than cones in the eye.c. Many rods converge on a single ganglion.d. The dilated pupil lets in more light than the lens can focus.
Knowing what you know about the anatomy of the eyeball, why do you suppose untreated glaucoma (excess aqueous humor production) causes blindness? Group of answer choices a. The excess aqueous humor compresses the optic nerve b. Intraocular pressure increases and the vitreous body presses against the lens c. The fluid accumulation causes the choroid to separate from the sclera d. The buildup of aqueous humor causes the vitreous body to press against the retina and disrupt its blood supply leading to cell death e. Aqueous humor is not reabsorbed as quickly as it is produced

The eyes of vertebrates and cephalopods are similar in structure and function. A difference between the vertebrate eye and the cephalopod eye is that the vertebrate eye has: a. an iris surrounding the pupil, whereas in cephalopods the pupil surrounds the iris. b. a lens that changes shape when focusing, whereas in cephalopods the lens moves back and forth to focus. c. a retina that moves in the socket when recording the image, whereas in cephalopods the retina changes shape when stimulated. d. a pupil that shrinks in size in bright light, whereas cephalopods have a pupil that enlarges in bright light. e. retinal synthesized from vitamin A, whereas cephalopods lack retinal.
Vision is a complex process. The human eye has many structures that contribute to vision. Which of the following statements describing the structures involved in the process of vision is NOT correct? a. Ciliary muscles change the shape of the lens to focus both near and distant objects. b. The cornea and lens bend light to focus the image on the retina. c. The iris relaxes and contracts to protect the retina from excess light. d. Lenses move forward or backward to control the amount of light striking the retina.

There are no cones at all in areas important for peripheral vision c. There are more cones than rods in areas of the retina that are important for peripheral vision d. There are no cones where the optic nerve leaves the eyeball
For each of the following, match the pattern with its description. Not all terms will be used. Although the eyes of the octopus and vertebrates have evolved entirely independently, each has a retina, cornea, iris, lens, and a fluid-filled interior. These similarities of structure, despite different origins, provide a classic example of .... Insects and birds are far removed from one another, yet at a glance it is difficult to tell the difference between a humming bird and a humming moth. Both are the same in size, and both live off nectar in flowers, and hover in flight. This is a classic example of.... The apple maggot fly once infested the fruit of a native Australian hawthorn tree. In the 1860s some maggot flies began to infest apples. They multiplied rapidly because they were able to make use of an abundant food supply. Now there are two distinct species, one that reproduces when the apples are ripe, and another that continues to infest the native hawthor tree. This is an example…
