- 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 producedarrow_forwardThe receptors for sweet, bitter, and umami tastes all resemble which of these? A. Metabotropic synaptic receptors B. The rods in the retina C. The hair cells of the auditory system D. Endocrine glandsarrow_forwardWhich statement is FALSE? A. The basilar membrane fibers nearer the oval window are long and fluffy B. Sound signals are processed by the resonance of the basilar membrane before reaching the receptors C. Different frequencies of pressure waves in the cochlea cause specific places along the basilar membrane to vibrate, stimulating particular hair cells and sensory neurons. D. None of the choicesarrow_forward
- the nerves are a pair of cranial nerves involved in the sense of smell; these are only sensory and have no motor neurons. A. trigeminal B. vagus C. abducent D. olfactoryarrow_forwardThe transduction process of converting light into neural signals sent to the central nervous system involves which of these steps? A. Bipolar Cells collect signals from Rods and Cones. B. The Optic Nerve carries signals about light from the Lateral Geniculate Nuclues to the Retinal Ganglion Cells. C. Retinal Ganglion Cells relay information to Rods and Cones. D. Light that reaches the eyes passes first through the Retina which focuses that light onto the Cornea.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forward
- If 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_forwardWhat function do the malleus, incus, and stapes bones in the inner ear play in processing sounds? A. The bones transform pressure waves into nerve impulses that the brain recognizes as sound. B. The bones equalize pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. C. The bones transmit vibrations to the oval window setting the fluid in the cochlea in motion. D. The bones depolarize or hyperpolarize hair cells depending on the direction they vibrate.arrow_forwardWhy is it easier to see images at night using peripheral, rather than the central, vision? a. Cones are denser in the periphery of the retina. b. Bipolar cells are denser in the periphery of the retina. c. Rods are denser in the periphery of the retina. d. The optic nerve exits at the periphery of the retina.arrow_forward
- What is unusual about the olfactory receptors? a. Olfactory neurons have more than one axon. b. Humans do not begin forming olfactory neurons until nearly 2 years old. c. We continue forming new olfactory neurons throughout life. d. An unusually strong blood–brain barrier protects olfactory neurons from damage.arrow_forwardIf a person is born blind, what happens to the occipital (“visual”) cortex?A. Its cells shrink and gradually die.B. Its cells remain intact but forever inactive.C. Its cells become responsive to touch or hearing.D. Its cells become spontaneously active, producing hallucinations.arrow_forwardInput to the human visual cortex comes from cones and rods (by way of ganglion cells) in what proportion? a. About 95 percent of input to the cortex comes from rods. b. About 50 percent comes from rods and 50 percent from cones. c. About 90 percent of input to the cortex comes from cones.arrow_forward
