Hearing

Question 16

When the ciliary muscles of the eye are relaxed, the lense is accommodated to view objects in the distance.
True or False

Answer 16

True

Question 17

A translucent part of the eye that gets hit by light first and where most of the light refracts is called the…

Answer 17

cornea.

Question 18

The retina is the part of eye where…

Answer 18

light gets transformed into neural activity.

Question 19

Photoreceptors in the human retina are located at the front of retina – where the light first hits the retina.

Answer 19

False.

Question 20

Lateral processing in the retina is performed by:…

Answer 20

amacrine and horizontal cells

Question 21

The blind spot is a consequence of an inverted retina.
True or False

Answer 21

True ?
(I thought it is, because the optic nerve enters the retina at that spot, can somebody clarify?)
A: I think it depends on how you interpret “inverted” i.e. whole image inversion or because of photorecptors and ganglion cells dangling around at the wrong side.

Ganglion cells

Answer 24

4 types

Question 25

One cone photoreceptor always feeds into one ganglion cell. True or False

Answer 25

False

Question 26

Receptive fields in the LGN have an excitatory and inhibitory region, therefore coding for contrast.

Answer 26

True

An on-center ganglion cell will respond the strongest if we shine the light:

Answer 27

only on its center

Answer 28

False

Question 29
