Chapter 17, Problem 24RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The changes in the eye that results when a person who is observing a deer 35 feet away, turns to look at his friend who is standing two feet away.
Introduction:
Eye is the spherical structure that enables the organism to see its surrounding. It is light sensitive and forms the image by gathering the rays that are reflected back from the objects. It has specialized structures that accommodate according to the surroundings.

- While viewing an object under low power you see a small organism at the edge of the field of vision. You move to the high-power lens, but the organism is no longer visible. What has occurred? How do you correct it?arrow_forwardWhy does the blind spot from the optic disc in either eye not result in a blind spot in the visual field? Your answer:arrow_forwardThree patients have suffered destruction of different portions of their visual pathway. Patient 1 has lost the right optic tract, patient 2 has lost the nerve fibers that cross at the optic chiasm, and patient 3 has lost the left occipital lobe.

- Shandra is a 38-year-old Dentist Aide, who recently suffers with numbness in her hands and tingling in her toes. To her knowledge she has no medical conditions and never bothered to check. Six-months ago, she noticed that her vision is a bit blurred, sometimes she may have floating clouds in her vision that are not actually there which usually clear on its own. Shandra is five feet four inches and weighs 170 lbs, medium-frame built but an apple-shaped body-type. She is not physically active and seldom cooks during the working-week. Last Tuesday Shandra visited the doctor, she was ordered to return in two days to complete and OGT and a glycated haemoglobin test (GHT).

(ii) What is the illness/disease that the doctor is trying to rule out? Be sure to classify and give physiological explanations. (iii) What are Shandra’s modifiable risk factors?arrow_forwardClassify statements about the eye as true or false. True The iris regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. The cornea is a transparent covering over the eye. The fovea is the part of the eye where you have the sharpest, most distinct vision. The image formed in the eye is upright. False Adjustments in focus are collectively called accommodation and are made by the ciliary muscle. The fovea is the opening through which light enters the eye. The image seen by the eye should be focused on the pupil Information leaves the eye through the ciliary muscle.arrow_forward
