Study Notes

Five Senses

  • The five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Vision

  • The eye perceives images of real objects as being smaller and further away than the actual object.
  • The eye houses the lens, accommodation, the pupilla reflex, and vision problems.
  • Photoreceptors adapt to light and dark.
  • Central aspects of vision are key to understanding the process of sight.

Eye Anatomy

  • The cornea, sclera, choroid, ciliary body, lens, suspensory ligaments, circular fibers, aqueous humor, vitreous humor, spaces of Fontana, canal of Schlemm, optic nerve, and retinal vessels are part of the eye anatomical structure.
  • These structures work together to focus and transmit light to the retina.
  • The diagrams show the mechanisms of accommodation (focusing) and the formation and flow of fluid in the eye.

Eye Muscles

  • Extraocular muscles of the eye and their innervation.
  • Reciprocal movement of the eye muscles.

Visual Fields

  • Comparison of visual fields in rabbits and humans.
  • Diagrams illustrate the extent of the visual field for each eye.

Electromagnetic Spectrum

  • Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, encompassing various wavelengths and frequencies.
  • Visible light occupies a specific portion of this spectrum. Diagrams of the spectrum, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, with accompanying descriptions of wavelength, frequency, and associated objects/phenomena.

Formation of a Rainbow

  • Diagram shows the path of sunlight through a rain drop, demonstrating reflection and refraction.
  • Analysis of the dispersion of white light into a spectrum of colors explaining why rainbows occur.

Invisible Light: Infrared

  • Humans and many mammals lack infrared receptors.
  • Infrared light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum associated with thermal radiation.
  • Infrared signals are transmitted.

Invisible Light: Ultraviolet

  • Human eyes are incapable of perceiving ultraviolet (UV) light.
  • UV light penetrates the lens and does not reach the retina.
  • Some individuals with no lens may see UV light.

Refraction

  • Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through different media, such as air and various eye structures.
  • The cornea and lens bend light to focus images on the retina.
  • Diagram illustrates light refraction at different angles.

Eye Section

  • Diagram emphasizes the cornea, lens, aqueous humor, vitreous humor, retina, optic nerve, and ciliary muscles.
  • Key structures necessary for vision are detailed in the cross-sectional diagram of the eye.

Lens Properties

  • Parallel rays from 6m away are focused on the retina.
  • Diagrams show lenses, focal points, and focal length.

Focal Length

  • The distance between the lens and focal point.
  • The lens's refractive power (diopter) correlates to the focal length.

Lens Refractive Power - Diopter

  • Diopter is a measure of a lens's ability to refract light.
  • The focal length determines diopter.

Presbyopia

  • Gradual loss of accommodation ability, commonly seen in older adults, making it harder to see near objects.
  • Associated with age-related eye changes.

Pupil Size Control

  • Parasympathetic stimulation causes pupil constriction (miosis).
  • Sympathetic stimulation causes pupil dilation (mydriasis).
  • Diagrams illustrate the effect of parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation on pupil size.
