Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The eye is the sensitive part of a sense organ. It provides vision. It consists of photoreceptor cells such as rods and cones cells that are responsible for image formation in night and day.

Which of the following statements are true of the physiology of vision? (Read carefully and select all the correct statements.)
A.
Cones are the receptors for color.
B.
The lens adjusts for distant vision, and the cornea adjusts for near vision.
C.
The optic nerve is formed by the ganglion neurons of the choroid layer.
D.
For near vision, the pupils dilate and the eyes converge.
E.
The optic chiasma is a crossing of optic nerve fibers that contributes to binocular vision.
F.
The visual areas are in the occipital lobes of the cerebrum.
G.
The area of the retina for the best color vision is the optic disc.
H.
Rods are most numerous at the periphery of the retina.
Because fibers of the optic nerve that originate in the nasal halves of each retina cross over at the optic chiasma, each lateral geniculate receives input from a.both the right and left sides of the visual field of both eyes. b.the ipsilateral visual field of both eyes. c.the contralateral visual field of both eyes. d.the ipsilateral field of one eye and the contralateral field of the other eye.
Why is a retinal defect, such as retinitis pigmentosa, which causes tunnel vision, associated with night blindness?
a. Tunnel vision and night blindness are unrelated conditions.
b. The high density of rod photoreceptors in the fovea are unaffected in each condition.
c. The highest resolution cone photoreceptors are found exclusively in the outer regions of the retina.
d. The color-detecting cone photoreceptors have the greatest density in the outer regions of the retina.
e. The highly-sensitive rod photoreceptors are located in the outer regions of the retina.

Several types of ganglion cells spike whereas the others do not. D. Two of the statements are correct. E. All three statements are correct.arrow_forwardIf someone is born with dense cataracts on both eyes, and the cataracts are removed years later, what happens?A. The person remains permanently blind.B. The person gradually recovers all aspects of vision.C. The person gains some vision, but remains impaired on object recognition, motion vision, and depth perception.D. The person gains almost all aspects of vision, but remains greatly impaired on color perception.arrow_forwardWhen reading, a person with astigmatism sees some lines in sharp focus while others appear blurred. Astigmatism is caused by the Select one: a. inability of the iris to contract or dilate b. lens becoming cloudy and rigid c. number of cones on some parts of the retina being deficient O d. curvature of the cornea or lens not being symmetricalarrow_forward
- What happens after damage limited to area MT? What may occur if MT is intact but area V1 is damaged? a. Damage to MT causes prosopagnosia. If MT is intact but V1 is damaged, the person can perceive faces but nothing else. b. Damage to MT causes blindness. If MT is intact but V1 is damaged, the person suffers prosopagnosia. c. Damage to MT causes motion blindness. If MT is intact but V1 is damaged, the person perceives movement but cannot identify the object. d. Damage to MT causes blindness. If MT is intact but V1 is damaged, the person cannot perceive movement.arrow_forwardColour blindness can result from the loss of specific types of cones, or it can occur in individuals having fewer cones of a given type. An individual has 50% less than the normal number of green cone photoreceptors in his or her retina. How would this affect his or her vision? a. This person has night blindness. He or she should start to eat more carrots to replenish the stock of retinal molecules in the retina. b. This person will have difficulty adapting to varying light levels. His or her cone receptors take much longer to adapt in a brightly lit area. c. This person does not have a colour blindness because no green cone photoreceptors are in the retina; only red, yellow, and blue photoreceptors exist. d. This person has a mild green colour blindness. He or she cannot see green colours very clearly and has difficulty distinguishing colours involving green hues.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE of the manner in which visual information is transferred from the eyes to the cortex?
