Human Body Systems Units 2.3 and 2.4 Review

group of diseases that damage the eye's optic nerve by a buildup of pressure inside the eye

Caused by missing pigments in the cones of the retina

Type of cell that has receptors for chemical signals

Automatic adjustment of the eye for seeing at different distances by changing convexity of lens

inherited disease; retina slowly degenerates causing eventual blindness; narrows FOV

Regulates blood sugar levels by increasing sugar in the blood

Way in which the cow eye and human eye differ

Defect of lens causing rays to fail to meet in a focal point resulting in a blurred image

Sensory nerve that communicates visual stimuli to the brain

Which is a correct pairing of glands that secrete their products directly into the bloodstream?

Stimulates cell division

Clouding of the eye's natural lens

Small circular area in the retina where the optic nerve enters the eye; lacks rods and cones

Sensory membrane that lines the posterior chamber of the eye and contains rods and cones

Opening the iris which admits light into the interior of the eye

Caused by a deterioration of the central portion of the retina

Photoreceptor cell of the retina that functions in color vision

Opaque muscular contractile diaphragm that is suspended in the aqueous humor in front of lens

Photoreceptor cell of the retina that responds to faint light

Chemical signal that coordinates various parts of an organism

Deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray in passing through mediums

Stimulates maturity of sperm and egg cells

Condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina

Transparent cover in front of iris and pupil which admits light to the interior of the eye

Regulates blood sugar levels by allowing cells to take in sugar

Condition in which the visual images come to a focus behind the retina

How are neurotransmitters and hormones similar and how are they different?

Which is the correct order that light passes through in the eye?

Problems in the glucose regulation loop that can lead to diabetes

How is it possible to be blind but not have problems with structure and function of the eye?

Coordinates endocrine and nervous systems and regulates the anterior pituitary gland

Ability to judge distance of objects and spatial relationships at different distances

Which is a correct pairing of glands that secrete their products onto the surface of organs?

Helps to refract light by changing curvature to focus light on the retina
