Study Notes
Functions of the Frontal Lobes
- The frontal lobes control various functions, including motor control, decision-making, problem-solving, and language.
The Retina
- The retina contains two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.
- Rods are sensitive to low light and movement, while cones are responsible for color vision.
- Bipolar cells in the retina transmit signals from photoreceptors to ganglion cells.
Eye Structures
- The choroid is a layer of blood vessels between the sclera and retina, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the retina.
- The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain.
Nervous System
- The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating internal vital functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.
Sensory Functions
- The chemical senses refer to the senses of smell and taste, which detect chemical molecules in the environment.
Visual Acuity
- The fovea, a part of the macula in the retina, is responsible for visual acuity, or the ability to see fine details.
