chapter 15- vision Flashcards
(140 cards)
what is apart of the visual system
eyes
accessory structures
optic nerve
tract
pathways
3 roles for the visual sytem
sight
eye movement
provide info for pastural and limb control
stimulus may be billions of miles away and still be detected
visual stimuli
info regarding light vs dark, movement and color
visual input
pathway for how eyes respond to light
initiate afferent AP-> optic nerves-> optic chiasma-> optic tracts to brain
how many pathways does the visual association area have and what are they
2
ventral & dorsal path
ventral path is where in the brain
temporal visual cortex
dorsal path is where in the brain
parietal virtual cortex
ventral path asks what question
what
dorsal path asks what questions
where
what does the frontal eye field do
interpret location of objects
7 bones surround eyeball and adipose tissues as well (posterior)
eye orbit bones
hair superior to eye orbit. prevent perspiration from running into eyes and irritating, it also shades from direct sunlight
eyebrows
palpebrae; works with eyelashes to protect from foreign objects, lubricates eye, regulates light entering eye, rapid blinking (25x/minute)
eyelids
what muscle opens eye
levator palpebrae
what muscle closes eyelid
orbicularis oculi
space between 2 open eyelids
palpebrae fissue
angle- join medial/lateral margin= blank= modified sebaceous/ sweat glands
canthus
5 layers
skin, areolar CT, skeletal muscles, tarsal plate (dense CT), and papebral conjunctiva
what forms shape of eyelid
tarsal plate
what lines inner eyelid
palpebral conjunctiva
2-3 layers of hair at free edge of eyelid
brush away dust/ foreign objects from eye
eyelashes
sweat glands that lubricates eyelash follicles
ciliary glands
gland inflammation at base of eyelash, usually bacterial infection, pain
