Chapter 41, Problem 6TYK

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.
