between the cornea and iris
posteror chamber of the anterior cavity
make s up the iris and lens. the cavty contains aqueous humor.
aqueous humor
a waer liquid produced by the ciliary body to help maintain pressure in the eye

The amount produced must be equal to the amount drained.
aqueous humor is drained through the...
canal of schlemm at the junction of the cornea nad sclera
glaucoma
when proper draining does not occur and pressure builds up in the eye.

between the lens and retina filled with vitreous body/humor
4 functions of the posterior cavity
holds reina tightly agains the choroid
helps maintain pressure
helps support the lens
hleps with bending or refracting of light
Image formation on the retina
to reach the retina and eventuall the brain light must move through several regions
regions the light must move through to form an image on the retina
cornea
aqueous humor
iris/pupil
lens
vitrous humor
photorecpetors
horizontal and bipolar cells
ganglion cells
retina
optic nerve
thalamus
occipital lobe
As the light moces through the eye it moves through regions of...
different density.
Moving light through regions of different denisity causes
the light ray to bend/refract.
Refraction of light allows it to hit...
the retina at the fascial point.
Focal point is determined...
by the shape of the lens and length of the eyeball
glasses are needed when...
the focal point is in fron tof the retina or behind
when an image reaches the retina its always...
upside down and backwards but is corrected in the brain.
to focus properly _____is required
accomodation
accomodatoin
change of lens
accomodation for distant vision
the cilliary muscle must reladx the suspensory ligmanets, must contract, the lens flattens, pulils dialate and eyes diverge
accomodation for close vision
the cilliary muscel must conract the suspensory ligaments, must relax, lens moves outward pupils constrict, and eyes converge
photopigment

rods allow you to see
in dim light and darkness
2 parts of the rhodopisn cycle
retinal/retanin- vitamin a
opsin- protien
cis retinol
in dim light retinal has a bend along its 11/th carbon which easily fits together with opsin.
whien retinol fits with opsin in dim light
lots of fhodopson is produced
formation of rhodopsin is helped by...
the enzyme retinol isomerase
transretinol
in bright light retinol straightens out.
Does not fit with opsin . The photo pigment has bleached because rhodopsin is now produced.
