QUESTIONS CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ Pupil. Answer: the adjustable opening in the center of the eye
through which light enters
◉ Iris. Answer: a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored
portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil
opening
◉ Lens. Answer: the transparent structure behind the pupil that
changes shape to help focus images on the retina
◉ Retina. Answer: the light-sensitive inner surface of the eye,
containing the receptor rods and cones plus layers of neurons that
begin the processing of visual information
◉ Blind Spot. Answer: the point at which the optic nerve leaves the
eye, creating a ___________ because no receptor cells are located there
◉ Fovea. Answer: the central focal point in the retina, around which
the eye's cones cluster
, ◉ Optic Nerve. Answer: the nerve that carries neural impulses from
the eye to the brain
◉ Rods. Answer: Visual receptors that respond to dim light
◉ Cones. Answer: Visual receptors involved in color vision
◉ Thalamus. Answer: Relay center of the brain
◉ Visual Cortex. Answer: Located in the occipital lobe, it is the part
of the brain responsible for interpreting visual information
◉ Occipital Lobe. Answer: Part of the cerebral cortex that contains
the visual cortex. One of the four major lobes. Located in the back of
your head
◉ Sensory Adaptation. Answer: The reduction or disappearance of
sensory responsiveness when stimulation is unchanging or
repetitious
◉ Sense Receptors. Answer: Specialized cells that convert physical
energy in the environment or the the body to electrical energy that
can be transmitted as nerve impulses to the brain
