parts of the eye
transparent protective layer on the outside of the eye
what is the cornea?
receptors in the eye that allow you to see black and white
what are rods?
the 2 color vision theories
what are the trichromatic theory and opponent process theory?
black hole that controls the amount of light let into the eye
what is the pupil?
receptors in the fovea that allow you to see color
what are cones?
creator of trichromatic theory
who is Helmholtz?
colored part of the eye that contracts to control the amount of light let in to the pupil
what is the iris?
part of the eye that doesn't occur in transduction but delivers the messages from it
what is the optic nerve?
creator of opponent processing theory
who is Hering?
transparent structure that focuses and bends the light that enters the eye and can be substituted with glasses
what are the lens?
activates gaglions
what are bipolar cells?
theory of 3 receptors in the eye correlating to the 3 light colors
what is the trichromatic theory?
point of transduction that holds the rods and cones
what is the retina?
the process where light enters the eye triggering a reaction in rods and cones that then invokes a chemical reaction in bi polar cells that activates gaglions which converge into the optic nerve that delivers information to the occipital lobe
what is transduction?
theory of receptors working in red/green, blue/yellow, and black/white pairs
what is the opponent process theory?
