Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Vitreous Face   Near lens  
🗑
Vitreous Base   An area in the fundus of the eye in which the vitreous membrane, neural retina, and pigment epithelium all are firmly adherent, one to the other.  
🗑
Vitreous Zones   Zone I anterior, Zone II mid, Zone III posterior  
🗑
Cloquet's Canal   Central thin canal and former site of hyaloid artery system.  
🗑
Trichromat   Normal color vision. Can see the three primary colors  
🗑
Dichromat   Lacks a pigment type. Colors appear washed out.  
🗑
Monochromat   Suffer from achromatopsia (without color) all rare or uncommon.  
🗑
Internal Limiting Membrane   Anatomical innermost layer of the retina.  
🗑
Bipolar Cells   In bipolar (middle) layer of neural transmission. Acts as connector cable between the photoreceptors and the ganglion cell layer.  
🗑
Rhodopsin   Photopigment of the rods. The pigment responsible for formation of rods and cones and for the perception of light.  
🗑
Iodopsin   Photopigment of the cones.  
🗑
Nyctalopia   Night blindness  
🗑
Location of Optic Disc   3mm nasal to fovea. CRA and CRV within disc.  
🗑
Size of Optic Disc   1.7 by 1.9 mm  
🗑
Normal cup to disc ratio   The optic cup is the white, cup-like area in the center of the optic disc. Normal cup to disc ratio is 0.3 If it is more than it suggests glaucoma.  
🗑
Subarachnoid space of Optic Nerve   The subarachnoid space surrounding the optic nerve  
🗑
Why Vitamin A is important.   Needed by the retina of the eye in the form of retinal, which combines with protein opsin to form rhodopsin.  
🗑
Homonomyous   Same VF are of both eyes  
🗑
Hemianopsia   Involves up to 1/2 of VF  
🗑
Arcuate Scotoma (Bjerrum)   An arc-shaped blind area that may develop in the field of vision of a person with glaucoma. It is caused by damage to nerve fibers in the retina.  
🗑
Enlarged Blind Spot   Central - paracentral  
🗑
Metamorphopsia   A defect of vision in which objects appear to be distorted; usually due to a defect in the retina.  
🗑
Sympathetic (Thoracolumbar)actions   Fight or flight, pupillary dilation, dry mouth with stimulation, increased heart rate and blood pressure.  
🗑
Parasympathetic (Craniosacral)actions   Body's resting state, pupillary constriction and accommodation, sweating when stimulated. Slower heart  
🗑
Nasociliary Nerve   V1, Carries sensory information to the tip of the nose. Long ciliary nerves (sensory to ciliary ganglion)and Infratrochlear (anterior and posterior ethmoid nerve).posterior  
🗑
Trigeminal neuralgia   A very painful condition with severe intractable pain in the face is sometimes treated surgically by destroying the trigeminal ganglion, with resultant sensory loss of the cornea.  
🗑
What 3 nerves pass through the ciliary ganglion?   Sensory (V), Sympathetic (Iris dilator), and Parasympathetic (Iris Sphinster).  
🗑
Mydriasis   Dilation of the pupil of the eye.  
🗑
Acetylcholinesterase   An enzyme that serves to stop excitation of a nerve after transmission of an impulse.  
🗑
Sympathetic NS receptors   Alpha 1 and 2, Beta 1 and 2  
🗑
Degrees of Fusion   First Grade- ability to superimpose 2 dissimilar images and perceive them as one. Second- ability to maintain the blending of the images as they move off the fovea. THIRD- Perception of depth (Stereopsis)only useful up to 20 ft. Normal:67 second of arc  
🗑
Aphakia   Absence of crystalline lens. Refractive error is around +12.00D. No ability to accommodate.  
🗑
Anisometropia   Difference in refractive power of 1 D or more between eyes  
🗑
Binocular Vision   Vision using two eyes with overlapping fields of view, allowing good perception of depth.  
🗑
Histamine   Synthesized in mast cells. Once released-itching, tearing, redness, swelling. Prominent in allergy.  
🗑
Prostaglandins   When released from cells, cause dilation of blood vessels and bronchodilator of lungs and increase sensitivity to pain.  
🗑
Kinins   Another type of inflammatory mediator (cytokines, leukotrienes)  
🗑
Complement   Group of proteins in the blood.  
🗑
Hyaloid Arterial System becomes   The Ophthalmic Artery  
🗑
Albina lacks what?   Lack of melanocytes in the iris pigmnent epithelium.  
🗑
What are "bear tracks"?   Multiple areas of grouped congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium  
🗑
What are anterior and posterior staphyloma?   Anterior- bulging of the cornea and anterior chamber. Very uncommon. Posterior- a bulging and thinning of the sclera results in pathological myopia. Common.  
🗑
Retinoblastoma   Is an infantile cancer with rapid growth and seen early in life. High survival rate of 95-98%, Very treatable. Occasionally bilateral. May present as white reflex in the pupil.  
🗑
Anophthalmia   No globe  
🗑
Location of the congenital polar cataract   On the anterior or posterior lens  
🗑
Aniridia   No iris  
🗑
Scleromalacia   Degenerative thinning of the sclera; A very rare ophthalmic manifestation seen in rheumatoid arthritis  
🗑
Sclera is thinnest under the ____________?   Rectus muscle and is the area most likely to rupture.  
🗑
Endothelium Count when born.   3000-4000 cells/mm2  
🗑
Corneal Arcus   Cholesterol and cholesterol esters. White ring  
🗑
Corneal Guttata   Little areas of collagen that collect abnormally at the back of the eye due to a growth abnormality of the cells at that location. These lumps can interfere with light transmission.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
