Presentation Transcript

  1. Structure of the Eyeball Figure 15.4a

  2. Pupil Dilation and Constriction Figure 15.5

  3. Sensory Tunic: Retina • A delicate two-layered membrane • Pigmented layer – the outer layer that absorbs light and prevents its scattering • Neural layer, which contains: • Photoreceptors that transduce light energy • Bipolar cells and ganglion cells • Amacrine and horizontal cells

  4. Sensory Tunic: Retina Figure 15.6a

  5. The Retina: Ganglion Cells and the Optic Disc Figure 15.6b

  6. The Retina: Photoreceptors • Rods: • Respond to dim light • Are used for peripheral vision • Cones: • Respond to bright light • Have high-acuity color vision • Are found in the macula lutea • Are concentrated in the fovea centralis

  7. Blood Supply to the Retina • The neural retina receives its blood supply from two sources • The outer third receives its blood from the choroid • The inner two-thirds is served by the central artery and vein • Small vessels radiate out from the optic disc and can be seen with an ophthalmoscope

  8. Focusing for Close Vision Figure 15.13b

  9. Problems of Refraction Figure 15.14a, b
