Bilateral left visual field blindness. The right optic tract is damaged. All the
sensory information from the left visual fields travel together after the optic
chiasm to the right side of the brain.
6. A patient is found to have blindness of the right visual field of both eyes.
what part of the vision pathway was most likely damaged? explain your
answer
The Left Lateral Geniculate Nucleus. All of the sensory information from the
right visual fields travels together after the optic chiasm to the left side of the
brain
7. A patient is found to have blindness in the right eye. what part of the vision
pathway was most likely damaged? explain your response
The right optic nerve. Information from the right visual field has not yet
crossed at the optic chiasm. both peripheral and nasal fields of the right eye
would be missing
7. A patient has a brain tumor in the area indicated by the red X in the figure
below. What type of blindness is the patient mostly likely to incur. Explain your
reasoning.

Left eye blindness because there is damage to the left optic nerve. Information
from the left visual field has not yet crossed at the optic chiasm. Both
peripheral and nasal fields of the left eye would be missing.
8. True or false: the lateral fibers of the optic nerve cross at the optic chiasm
False
9. The _______ is controlled by the abducens nerve
lateral rectus
9. The __ is controlled by the trochlear nerve.
Superior Oblique
10. Your elderly patient is discussing her vision problems. She describes her
vision as blurry. Her left eye deviates medially when looking straight ahead.
what is most likely causing the vision problem?
Damage to the abducens nerve which is responsible for controlling the lateral
rectus. This type of damage would cause a muscle imbalance meaning the
medial rectus would pull the eye medially when looking straight ahead causing
diplopia.

10. Your elderly patient is discussing vision problems. She described her vision
as cloudy and dark. Her vision has progressively worsened over the last year.
What most likely is causing the vision problem? Explain your reasoning.
Cataracts, due to the lens that slowly becomes hardened over time. Light is not
able to be refracted onto the retina.
11. Match the numbers (1-5) in the figure below with the correct terms (A-H).
1) B- Facial nerve- innervates the stapedius muscle, a small muscle in the
middle ear that helps to dampen loud sounds, potentially influencing hearing
sensitivity.
2) E- Malleus- (hammer) receives the vibrations from the eardrum
3) D- Cochlea- spiral, bony chamber containing the membranous endolymph-
filled cochlear duct; houses the organ of Corti and terminates at the cochlear
