Q

The two sides of her brain receive different outputs from our …..

22
Q

The left side of your brain receives input from the …. Side of our visual world

23
Q

and the right brain get input from the ….. Side of our world

24
Q
  • thin layer
  • with lots of blood vessels
  • containing dark pigment to prevent scattering of incoming race
  • absorbs light and nourishes the eye
25
9 vision disorders -
``` myopia hyperopia presbyopia cataracts glaucoma conjucntivitis colorblind astigmatism ```
26
nearsightedness. - far objects are blurry - Image focuses in the front of the retina
myopia
27
farsightedness - near objects are blurry - Image focuses behind the retina
hyperopia
28
"old eye" elasticity of age cannot see near 40-45
Presbyopia
29
cloudy spot on the lens - dim light is difficult to see
cataracts
30
increase intraocular pressure do to too much aqueous humor -loss of peripheral vision first
glaucoma
31
inflammation of the conjunctiva | - maybe dry eyes or a bacterial infection(pink eye)
conjunctivitis
32
inherited on X chromosome | - A problem with photo pigment production
colorblind
33
this is caused by irregular curvature of the cornea, makes the image partly blurry
Astigmatism
34
The properties of light –
A form of energy, behave as though they are propagated in waves, is made up of colors, it refracts
35
trace light once it enters the eye -
``` light enters the eye and travels through the ... cornea - then aqueous humor - pupil - lens - vitreous humor - retina - bipolar cell - ganglion cell - optic nerve - optic chiasm - optic tract - occipital lobe. ```
36
colorblind people sees the world as .... if they are color blind RED -
they see red as grey yellow as green & magenta as blue
37
if they are colorblind BLUE -
they see red as red yellow as yellow and magenta as red
38
if someone is colorblind GREEN -
they see red as red yellow as red megenta as magenta
39
our eyes refract light by ......
bending the light as it travels through a transparent substance
40
our eyes have four layers that refract this light -
cornea aqueous humor lens vitreous humor
41
we accommodate by ....
the lens is changing its shape by using ciliary muscle contraction or extension in response to the varying distance of objects
42
we see in dim light by .....
using our rods, which makes us have better peripheral vision in dim
43
we see in bright light w.....
our cones & by the constriction of our pupils
44
erythrolabe, chlorolabe, cyanolable -
all lobes
45
erythrolabe is broken by ...
red light
46
chlorolabe is broken by ...
green light
47
cyanolable is broken by ....
blue light
48
cerebrovascular accident also means -
stroke
49
it's the loss of memory-
Alzheimer's
50
this disorder is a decreased amount of dopamine
Parkinsons
