Which two structures refract (bend) light entering the eye?
Pupil
Iris
Lens
Cornea
|
When light passes into the eye, where on the retina should the light be focused?
The vitreous fluid
The fovea
The sclera
The optic nerve
|
When looking at a nearby object, the light from the object hits the eye at a wide angle. This means that the eye needs to refract the light strongly.
To achieve this, what should the shape of lens be?
Short and fat
Long and thin
Cuboidal
|
The diagram above shows a side-on and front-on view of the lens and it's surrounding structures.
What is the structure labelled X?
Suspensory ligament
Lens
Ciliary muscle
|
The diagram above shows a side-on cross-sectional view of the lens and it's surrounding structures.
What is the structure labelled X?
Ciliary muscle
Lens
Suspensory ligament
|
True or false? The ciliary muscle is just like any other muscle, so it can contract or relax.
True
False
|
The suspensory ligament is not a muscle, it is a ligament.
Can it contract and relax?
Yes
No
|
When looking at a nearby object, the lens must be short and wide to refract the light strongly and focus the light on the retina.
How do the ciliary muscle and suspensory ligaments achieve this?
(Select all that apply)
The suspensory ligaments slacken
The ciliary muscle contracts
The suspensory ligaments are pulled taut
The ciliary muscle relaxes
|
The ciliary muscle is a circle band of muscle that encircles the suspensory ligaments and the lens.
Which of the images above, A or B, show the ciliary muscle in its contracted state?
A
B
|
What happens to the ciliary muscle, suspensory ligaments, and the lens, when the eye focuses on a distant object?
(Select all that apply)
Lens is pulled tall and thin
The ciliary muscle relaxes
The suspensory ligaments slacken
The suspensory ligaments are pulled taut
The ciliary muscle contracts
Lens is short and wide
|
What does long-sighted mean?
The eye is unable to focus on nearby objects
The eye is unable to focus on distant objects
|
One solution to long-sightedness is to wear glasses.
Which type of lens would the glasses need to contain?
Convex lens
Concave lens
|
If somebody cannot focus on distant objects, are they long-sighted or short-sighted?
Long-sighted
Short-sighted
|
One solution to short-sightedness is to wear glasses.
Which type of lens would the glasses need to contain to correct short-sightedness?
Convex lens
Concave lens
