... [Show More] fibrous layer of the eye is called the _____.
Sclera
What portion of the eye supplies blood supply to the other layers of the eye?
Choroid (of the middle layer)
True or false: The more numerous type of photoreceptors are rods.
True
What is the correct order of how light passes through the eye?
A. Cornea, Lens, pupil, retina
B. Correct! Cornea, lens, vitreous fluid, retina Vitreous fluid fills the space posterior to the lens

A patient had a CVA in the area indicated by the red x in the figure, below. What type of blindness is the patient most likely to incur? Explain your reasoning.
Bilateral left visual field blindness
The right optic tract is damaged. All the sensory information from the left visual fields travels together after the optic chiasm to the right side of the brain.
A patient has a brain tumor in the area indicated by the red x in the figure, below. What type of blindness is the patient most likely to incur? Explain your reasoning.
Left eye blindness
Left eye blindness because there is damage to the left optic nerve. Information from the left visual field has not yet crossed at the optic chiasm. Both peripheral and nasal fields of the left eye would be missing.
True or False: All sensory information from the optic nerves cross at the optic chiasm.
False
only medial fibers cross at optic chiasm
The ________ is controlled by the trochlear nerve.
A. Superior rectus
B. Medial rectus
C. Lateral rectus
D. Correct! Superior oblique
Your elderly patient is discussing her vision problems. She describes her vision as blurry. Following a visual examination, her left eye deviates medially when looking straight ahead. What is most likely causing the vision problem? Explain your reasoning.
A. CataractsB. Abducens nerve damageC. Brain tumor in the occipital lobeD. Medial rectus damageE. Superior rectus damage
B
The abducens nerve controls the lateral rectus. Damage to the lateral rectus would cause there to be a muscle imbalance, and the medial rectus would pull the eye medially when looking straight ahead, causing blurry vision. (Diplopia)

Which of the following statements is false regarding the middle ear?
A. The malleus receives vibrations from the eardrum.

C. It contains three small bones.
D. Correct! The stapes receives vibrations from the cochlea.
Which of the following statements is true regarding the inner ear?
A. Correct! The organ of Corti is responsible for the body’s auditory sense.
