vision 2

QuestionAnswer
choroid blood rich nutrients. vascular. Dark pigment prevents light scattering in eye.
ciliary muscle fx control lens shape
ciliary body secrete aqueous humor
iris pigmented part of uvea
pupil opening thru which light passes
pupil in distant vision dilates
pupil in near vision constricts
abducens (6) controls which mm and fx lateral rectus, moves eye laterally
occulomotor (3) controls which mm and fx medial rectus: moves medially superior rectus: elevates eye & turns medially Inferior rectus: depress eye and medially inferior oblique: elevate and lateral
troclear (4) controls which mm and fx superior oblique: depress eye and turn laterally
rods and cones are found on: neural layer of retina
where is high cone density macula lutea
center of macula lutea is fovea centralis, nearly all cones
cataracts hard/opaque lens
lens (avascular) is nurished by the aqueous humor
scleral venous sinus (canal of schlemm) where aqueous humor is reabsorbed
photoreceptors are rods and cones
dim light and gray tones rods
color receptors and high visual acuity cones
fx of horizontal and amacrine cells: visual processing
optic chaism decussation point for optic nerve
optic tracts fibers after optic chiasm
refraction bending of light rays as they pass from one medium to another. in visual field this is cornea, lens, and vitreous humor.
greater the lens convexity (bulge) the more light is bent and the stronger the lens
the less the lens convexity (flatter) the less it bends the light.
eye lens gets more convex (bulge) for near vision (accomodation)
eye gets less convex (flat) for far vision (emmetropia)
autonomic nervous system controls which mm of eye intrinsic: ciliary body (curve of lens), radial and ciruclar mm of iris (pupil size).
convergence medial eye movements for near vision, both eyes directed toward near object viewed. Extrinsic eye mm
somatic nervous system controls which eye mm extrinsic
