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.
