Structures
What is the Iris
What is the part of the eye that is colored and regulates light along with the pupil size
What is the function of the Retina
What is a layer of the eye that helps converts the light that enters in the eye into electrical signals. The optic nerve receives these signals and sends them to the brain in order to create the images we see.
What is the Tunics of the eye
What is the three layers of the eyeball wall
What is a Cataract
What is the clouding and thickening of the lens, which causes blurred vision
What are the sections of the brain that deal with vision
What is the Occipital lobe, Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Superior Colliculi
What are the three main parts of the eye
What is the Tunics, Optical apparatus, and Neural apparatus
What is the Cornea
What is the part of the eye that is transparent and admits light inside the eye
What is the three layers of the eye
What is the Outermost layer, Uvea layer, and Retina layer
What is Glaucoma
What is the build up of aqueous humor that cause increased pressure in the eye, which causes the retinal cells to die off and the optic nerve to experience atrophy
What is the results of from Scientific American about visual capabilities
What is that people have different visual capabilities for processing and not all people have the same visual abilities, which is associated with a gene
What is the Sclera
What is the outer part of the eye that is white and protects the eye along with maintaining the eye shape
What is the function of the Aqueous Humor
What is the clear, watery fluid that helps to nourish the lens along with maintaining the pressure in the eye
What is the sublayers of the Outermost
What is the Sclera and Cornea
What is Scotoma
What is a permanent blind and dark spot in the eye
What is the results of the new research on tears by Scientific American
What is the female tears lower testosterone levels in males close by due to the pheromones in the female tears
What is the Lacrimal Gland
What is a gland that is located laterally on the eye and produces tears
What is the Vitreous Humor
What is a jelly fluid that is behind the lens that helps keep the eye shape, floaters, and debris
What are the sublayers of the Retina
What is the Neural and the Pigmented Epithelium
What is the Astigmatism
What is the non symmetrical shape of the lens/ eye, which causes blurred vision
What is the Refraction of the Air, Cornea, Aqueous Humor, and Lens
What is Air - 1.000, Cornea - 1.38, Aqueous Humor - 1.33, and Lens - 1.40
What is the Macula Lutea
What is the part of the eye called the fovea and has a high number of cones in it
What is the Ciliary Body
What is the part of the eye that contains a muscle that changes the shape of the lens when the eye focuses and helps support the iris
What is the sublayers of the Uvea
What is the Choroid, Ciliary body, and the Iris
What is Macular Degeneration
What is an age related disease that causes a loss of receptors in the Macula, which causes reduced vision
What are the most common types of Red-Green color blindness
What is Protanomaly, Protanopia, Deuteranomaly, and Deuteranopia
