Cards (25)

Section 1

(25 cards)

pupil

Front

hole in the center of the eye, it contracts and dilates the pupil to control the amount of light entering the eye

Back

vitreous

Front

the liquid in your eyeball

Back

macula

Front

near center of the retina, responsible for sharp, clear, straight and ahead vision

Back

Wavelength

Front

is the distance from one wave peak to the next and it determines hue (color)

Back

Intensity

Front

how bright or dull a color is

Back

Transduction

Front

conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies, such as sights, sounds, and smells, into neural impulses our brains can interpret.

Back

scleral

Front

white opaque portion of the eye "chewy", has muscles that move the eye & provide protection

Back

nerve

Front

Cable like bundle of axons(nerve fibers) in the peripheral nervous system

Back

rods

Front

provide twilight vision, around boundary of the retina

Back

feature detectors

Front

nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement

Back

Cornea

Front

transparent dome which serves as the outer window of the eye

Back

optic nerve

Front

acts like a cable connecting the eye w the brain

Back

lens

Front

behind the iris, focuses (changes shape to help you focus)

Back

accommodation

Front

the process by which the eye's lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina

Back

Iris

Front

colored part of the eye, controls amount of light that enters the eye

Back

Cones

Front

near center of retina, fine detail and color vision,

Back

Young-Helmholtz trichromatic theory

Front

the theory that the retina contains three different color receptors—one most sensitive to red, one to green, one to blue—which, when stimulated in combination, can produce the perception of any color.

Back

hue

Front

color

Back

Amplitude

Front

the distance from a wave's peak to its trough (its height) and determines intensity (bright or dull)

Back

Fovea

Front

in the macula, provides greatest visual activity

Back

Frequency

Front

peak of one wavelength to the peak of another wave length

Back

parallel processing

Front

the processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information processing for many functions, including vision, -ex:all your senses collecting info about the food your eating

Back

blind spot

Front

the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a "blind" spot because no receptor cells are located there

Back

Retina

Front

innermost layer of the eye, senses the light entering the eye, transduction occurs

Back

opponent-process theory

Front

herring proposed that we have 2 types of color opponent cells
