A

Controls unconscious activity such as heart rate and breathing

17
Q

What does the hypothalamus do

A

Regulating centre for temperature and water balance

18
Q

Electrical stimulation

A

Scientists have asked patients to describe what they experience the scientist stimulated different parts of the brain with weak electrical currents

19
Q

MRI scans

A

MRI stands for magnetic residence imaging use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to show details of brain structures and functions

20
Q

Cornea

A

Reflect light Bends as it enters the eye

21
Q

Iris

A

Controls how much light enters the pupil

22
Q

Iris

A

Controls how much light enters the pupil

23
Q

Lens

A

Further and reflect light to focus on the retina

24
Q

Lens

A

Further and reflect light to focus on the retina

25
Retina
Contains the light receptors
26
Optic nerve
Carries impulses between the eye and the brain
27
Sclera
Tough white outer layer of the eye it helps protect the eye from injury
28
Sclera
Tough white outer layer of the eye it helps protect the eye from injury
29
In bright light
Radial muscle is relaxed circular muscles of iris contracted do less light enters eye
30
In dim light
Radial muscles of Iris contracted circular muscles of Iris relaxed dilated pupil so more light enters
31
I’f object is near the eye does what
Ciliary muscles contract, suspense, ligaments, slacken or loosen muscle tension low lens shape fat light is reflected strongly
32
I’f object is near the eye does what
Ciliary muscles contract, suspense, ligaments, slacken or loosen muscle tension low lens shape fat light is reflected strongly
33
If object is distant the eye does what
If object is distant ciliary muscles relax suspensory, ligaments Tighten muscle tension is high lens shape thin light is only reflected slightly
34
How can myopia be cured?
Concave lens
35
How can hyperopia be cured?
Convex lens
