THE EYEBALL IS WRAPPED IN ADIPOSE TISSUE WITHIN THE ORBIT. WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE ADIPOSE TISSUE?
ADIPOSE TISSUE PROTECTS THE EYEBALL FROM OUTER ENVIRONMENTS AND WORKS AS CUSHION FOR EYEBALL.
WHY DOES ONE OFTEN HAVE TO BLOW ONES NOSE AFTER CRYING?
SOME PERCENT OF YOUR TEARS IS RELEASED INTO THE NASOLACRIMAL DUCT, THEN SENT TO THE NASAL CAVITY. THIS MAKES YOUR NOSE SECRETE FLUIDS THAT MAKES YOU HAVE TO BLOW YOUR NOSE.

Ok, so you’re using my notecards which is great. I am glad I could help you out cause I wish I had someone to help me out when I took this course. I know Anatomy is super hard.
I only ask that if you find these notecards helpful, you join Easy Notecards and create at least one notecard set to help others out. It can be for any subject or class. Thanks and don’t forget to rate my helpfulness!

CONVERGENCE
IN FARSIGHTEDNESS, THE LIGHT IS FOCUSED __1__ THE RETINA. THE LENS REQUIRED TO TREAT MYOPIA IS A __2__ LENS. THE "NEAR POINT" INCREASES WITH AGE BECAUSE THE __3__ OF THE LENDS DECREASES AS WE GET OLDER. a CONVEX LENS, LIKE THAT OF THE EYE, PRODUCES AN IMAGE THAT IS UPSIDE DOWN AND REVERSED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. SUCH AN IMAGE IS CALLED A __4__ IMAGE.

2. CONCAVE
3. FLEXIBILITY
4. REAL
DURING DISTANCE VISION, THE CILIARY MUSCLE IS __1__, THE SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT IS __2__, THE CONVEXITY OF THE LENDS IS __3__, AND LIGHT REFRACTION IS __4__. DURING CLOSE VISION, THE CILIARY MUSCLE IS __5__, THE SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT IS __6__, LENS CONVEXITY IS __7__, AND LIGHT REFRACTION IS __8__.

EXPLAIN WHY VISION IS LOST WHEN LIGHT HITS THE BLIND SPOT.
HAS NO PHOTORECEPTOR CELLS AND DOES NOT RESPOND TO LIGHT.
USING THE SNELLEN EYE TEST:
IS YOUR VISUAL ACUITY NORMAL, LESS THEN NORMAL, OR BETTER THEN NORMAL. EXPLAIN
NORMAL; I CAN SEE AT 20 FT WHAT A PERSON WITH NORMAL VISION CAN SEE AT 20 FT.
EXPLAIN WHY EACH EYE IS TESTED SEPARATELY WHEN USING THE SNELLEN EYE CHART?
BECAUSE BOTH EYES COULD HAVE DIFFERENT VISION, COMPAIRED THE OTHER VISION IS NOT THE SAME.
EXPLAIN 20/40
PERSON CAN SEE AT 20 FT WHAT A PERSON WITH NORMAL VISION CAN SEE AT 40 FT. LESS THEN NORMAL VISION
EXPLAIN 20/10
PERSON CAN SEE AT 20 FT WHAT A PERSON WITH NORMAL VISION CAN SEE AT 10 FT. BETTER THEN NORMAL VISION.
DEFINE ASTIGMATISM
IS A TYPE OF REFRECTIVE ERROR THAT AFFECTS THE QUALITY OF FOCUS. IF CORNEA/LENS IS NOT UNIFORMLY CURVED, LIGHT RAYS DONT FOCUS AT A SINGLE POINT. BUT FALL AS A BLURRED CIRCLE.
HOW CAN IT BE CORRECTED (ASTIGMATISM)
BY GLASSES FORMED WITH THE OPPOSITE CURVATURE GRADATION.
DEFINE PRESBYOPIA
NORMAL, PRESENTLY UNAVOIDABLE DEGENERATION OF THE ACCOMMODATION POWER OF THE EYE ASSOCIATED WITH AGING.
WHAT CAUSES IT? (PRESBYOPIA)
OCCURS BECAUSE THE LENS BECOMES SCLEROTIC AND LESS FLEXIBLE.
TO WHICH WAVELENGTHS OF LIGHT DO THE THREE CONE TYPES OF THE RETINA RESPOND MAXIMALLY?
BLUE PIGMENTS - 430 NM
GREEN PIGMENTS - 530 NM
RED PIGMENTS - 560 NM
HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE FACT THAT WE SEE A GREAT RANGE OF COLORS EVEN THOUGH ONLY THREE CONE TYPES EXIST?
INTERPRETATION OF THE INTERMEDIATE COLORS OF THE VISIBLE LIGHT SPECTRUM IS A RESULT OF OVERLAPPING INPUT FROM MORE THAN ONE CONE TYPE.
EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BINOCULAR AND PANORAMIC VISION.
WITH BINOCULAR VISION, THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE OVERLAP BETWEEN THE VISUAL FIELDS OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT EYE. UNLIKE BINOCULAR VISION, WITH PANORAMIC VISION THE LEFT AND RIGHT EYES SEE IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS RESULTING IN A PANORAMIC FIELD OF VIEW.
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF BINOCULAR VISION?
PROVIDES 3-DIMENSIONAL VISION, AND AND ACCURATE MEANS OF LOCATING OBJECTS IN SPACE, THIS IS KNOWN AS DEPTH PERCEPTION.
WHAT FACTOR(S) ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BINOCULAR VISION?
THE FACT THAT THE EYES ARE IN THE FRONT OF THE HEAD AND THE ABILITY OF VISUAL CORTEX TO RESOLVE TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS INTO A SINGLE IMAGE.
IN THE EXPERIMENT ON THE CONVERGENCE REFLEX, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE POSITION OF THE EYEBALLS AS THE OBJECT WAS MOVED CLOSER TO THE SUBJECT'S EYES?
MEDIAL EYE MOVEMENTS, BOTH EYES ARE DIRECTED TOWARD THE NEAR OBJECT VIEWED.
WHAT EXTRINSIC EYE MUSCLES CONTROL THE MOVEMENT OF THE EYES DURING THE CONVERGENCE REFLEX?
MEDIAL, SUPERIOR, AND INFERIOR RECTUS MUSCLES CONTROL THE MOVEMENT OF THE EYE DURING THE CONVERGENCE REFLEX
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THIS REFLEX? (CONVERGENCE)
HELPS MAINTAIN AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THE EYES ALIGNED AND FOCUSED ON AN OBJECT
WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE CONVERGENCE REFLEX?
TO PROTECT AND TO KEEP YOU AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
IN THE EXPERIMENT ON THE PHOTOPUPILLARY REFLEX, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PUPIL OF THE EYE EXPOSED TO LIGHT? EXPLAIN
IT CONSTRICTED; BECAUSE LIGHT IS BEING EXPOSED TO THE RETINA THE PUPIL WILL CONSTRICT AS A PROTECTIVE RESPONSE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO PHOTORECEPTOR CELLS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PUPIL OF THE NONILLUMINATED EYE? EXPLAIN
IT DILATED; PUPILS WILL STAY DILATED IN LOW LIGHT BECAUSE THERE IS NO NEED TO BE PROTECTIVE.
WHY IS THE OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION AN IMPORTANT DIAGNOSTIC TOOL?
TO DETERMINE VISUALLY THE CONDITION OF THE RETINA, OPTIC DISC, AND INTERNAL BLOOD VESSELS. CAN DETERMINE IF A PERSON HAS PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OR DEGENERATIVE CHANGES IN OPTIC NERVE OR RETINA.
MANY COLLEGE STUDENTS STRUGGLING THROUGH MOUNTAINOUS READING ASSIGNMENTS ARE TOLD THAT THEY NEED GLASSES FOR "EYESTRAIN." WHY IS IT MORE OF A STRAIN ON THE EXTRINSIC AND INTRINSIC EYE MUSCLES TO LOOK AT CLOSE OBJECTS THAN AT FAR OBJECTS?
WHEN LOOKING AT NEAR OBJECTS YOUR EYES CONSTANTLY NEED TO CONVERGE AND ACCOMODATE. USING THESE MUSCLES CONSTANTLY WILL CAUSE STRAIN. HOWEVER LOOKING AT FAR OBJECTS THE EYES DONT NEED TO CONVERGE AND ACCOMODATE SO YOU DONT USE THESE MUSCLES MAKING LESS STRAIN ON THE EYE.
