Q

blind spot test

A

the retina is incomplete where the optic nerve leaves the eye which cause a blind spot

1
Q

color blindness test

A

three or more incorrect responses indicates that your partner may have deficient color vision

2
Q

snellen visual activity test

A

20/20 vision test.

3
Q

located superior to the eye, they partially shade the eyes and protect them from sweat.

A

eyebrows

4
Q

located over the eye.

the eyelids blink to moisten the eye and sweep foreign substances from the eyes surface

A

eyelids

5
Q

located on the margin of the eyelids.

prevent foreign substances from entering the eye

A

eyelashes

6
Q

composed of lacrimal(or tear) gland and lacrimal ducts.

secretions or tears from the gland moisten the eye and washes away foreign substances

A

lacrimal apparatus

7
Q

an epithelial covering on the inside of the eyelid and the anterior surface of the eye.
helps keep the cornea moist and clean

A

conjuctiva

8
Q

the superior oblique rotates the inside of the eye downward and medially.
the inferior oblique rotates the eye upward and medially

A

oblique eye muscles

9
Q

the four muscles are the superior, inferior, medial, and lateral rectus muscles.
these muscles move the eye up, down, medially and laterally.

A

rectus eye muscles

10
Q

these are jelly-like fluids that fill the interior walls of the eye

A

aqueous and vitreous humours

11
Q

commonly called the WHITE OF THE EYE. a tough, tendon-like layer continuous with the dura mater of the brain around the optic nerve. it shapes the eye and is the insertion point for the six muscles which control eye movement

A

Sclera

12
Q

the most anterior layer of the eye that is continuous with the sclera.
transparent to allow light into the eye. well supplied with nerve endings for pain, reflex, blinking, and to stimulate lacrimal secretions.
it also lacks blood vessels

A

cornea

13
Q

separates the fibrous and sensory tunics
contains a dense capillary bed that provides oxygen and nourishment to the eye.
also contains many melanocytes

A

choroid

14
Q

lies just beneath the cornea.
this layer to which we attribute eye color.
composed of two layers of pupilary muscles that control the diameter of the pupil, and thus the amount of light entering the eye

A

iris

15
Q

this is the round central opening in the center of the eye

A

pupil

16
Q

a thick ring of tissue attached to and lies beneath the iris

A

ciliary body

17
Q

located beneath the iris and held in the center of the pupil by suspending ligaments extending from the ciliary body

A

lens

18
Q

the delicate, two innermost layer of the eye.

contains photoreceptors and neurons that react to light and transmit and integrate visual signals

A

retina

19
Q

photoreceptor cells very sensitive to light.

they enable us to see shades of gray in dim lights

A

rods

20
Q
photoreceptor cells responsible for high acuity color vision.
they only operate in bright lights
red 
green
blue
A

cones

21
Q

synapse with dendrites of rods and cones.

they transmit nerve impulses to the ganglion cells

A

bipolar neurons

22
Q

synapse with the axons of the bipolar neurons.

the axons combine to form optic nerve, which sends nerve impulses to the brain

A

ganglion cells

23
Q

where the optic nerve leave the eye. not covered by the retina.
a blind spot in the eye

A

optic disc

24
Q

cranial nerve II: it transmits visual information from the eye to the brain

A

optic nerve

25
Q

the portion of the retina that is responsible for sharp central vision. humans use this region for any activity that requires detailed vision, such as driving

A

fovea centralis
