Q

after passing through the pupil, light hits the transparent ____ in the eye

18
Q

the multilayered tissue on the eyeball’s sensitive inner surface

19
Q

the process by which the eyes lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina

20
Q

nearsightnedess is also called

21
Q

order that light enters the eye

A

cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina

22
Q

retinal receptors that detect balck, white, gray, and are sensitive to movement

23
Q

are necessary for peripheral and twilight vision when cones dont respons

24
Q

retinal receptors that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in wee0lit condition

25
candetect fine detail and give rise to color sensations
cones
26
when light energy trigger chemical changes, it would spark neural signals in nearby ____
bipolar cells
27
bipolar cells activate neihghboring ________
ganglion cells
28
the nerve that carries neural impulses fromthe eye to the brain
optic nerve
29
the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye; and has no receptor cells
blind spot
30
where is blid spot located
on the nose side of each retina
31
the central focal point in the retina, aroiund which the eye’s cones cluster
fovea
32
cones are soloist
33
rods oerform as a chorus
34
rods have no hotline while cones have
35
36
any color can be create by combining the lightwaves of three primary color
red gree blue
37
the theory that the retina contains three differenyt types of color receptors
yongh-helmholts trichromatic theory
38
the theory that opposing retinal processes enable color vision.
opponent-process theory
39
nerve cells in the brain’s visual cortec that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement
featire detectors
40
they receive information from individual ganglion cells in the retina
feature detectors
41
processing many aspects of a stimulus or problem simultaneously
parallel processig
42
flow of visual information processing
scene—retinal processing—feature detection— parallel processing— recognition
