🗑
Diplopia occurs when ?   Movements of external muscles of two eyes are not perfectly coordinated and results in double vision  
🗑
Strabisum occurs when ?   Cogenital weakess of external eye muscles rotate medially or laterally,results in cross-eye  
🗑
What are the three layers of the eyeballs ?   1.Fibrous layer 2.Vascular layer 3.Inner(retina) layer  
🗑
What fluids are the internal cavities filled with in the eyeballs,and what does this fluid fuction in ?   Humors,helps maintain shape  
🗑
What is the fibrous layer and what does it compose of ?   Outermost coat of the eyeballs, It is compose of dense avascular connective tissue  
🗑
What are the two regions of the fibrous layer ?   The Sclera and Cornea  
🗑
What is the sclera and what does it form ?   the posterior portion and bulk of fibrous layer in the eyeball,and is glisting white and opaque  
🗑
The "white of the eye" that is continuous with dura matter and protects and shape the eyeball and provides anchoring sites for extrinsic eye muscles is known as the ?   Sclera  
🗑
The region of the fibrous layer that is crystal clear and bulges anteriorly from its junction with sclera and forms a clear window that lets light enter and bends light as it enters the eye is known as the ?   Cornea  
🗑
The inner layer of the cornea contains what ?   sodium pumps that helps maintain clarity of corea  
🗑
The layer of the eyeball that forms the middle coat,and is also known as uvea, consist of these three regions : 1.Choroid 2.Cilliary Body 3.Iris   The vascular Layer  
🗑
A blood vessel-rich dark brow membrane that forms the 5/6 of vascular layer and has blood vessels that nourishes all eye layers is known as the ?   Choroid  
🗑
Brown pigments of the choroid produce what ?   Melanocytes, which helps absorbs light preventing it from scattering and reflecting within the eye, which would cause confusio.  
🗑
A thickened ring of tissue surrounding lens,ad consists of smooth muscle bundles,cilliary muscles, that controls the shape of lens is known as the ?   Cilliary Body  
🗑
The colored part of the eye that lies between the cornea and lens,continous with the cilliary body is known as the ?   Iris  
🗑
The central opening that regulates the amount of light entering the eye is known as the ?   Pupils  
🗑
What cause sphicter pupillae (circular muscle) to contracts and pupils to constrict; Parasympathetic control   Close vision and bright light  
🗑
What causes dilator papillae (radial muscle) to contract and pupils to dilate; sympathetic control   Distant vision and dim light  
🗑
Changes in emotinal state causes the pupils to do what when subjects matter is appearing or requires promblem-solvig skills ?   Causes pupils to dialate  
🗑
The layer of the eyeball that develops from an extension of the brain and contains millions of photoreceptor cells that transduce light energy and consists of neurons and glial cells is known as the   Inner layer (Retina)  
🗑
