Why is it easier to see images at night using peripheral, rather than the central, vision? Cones are denser in the periphery of the retina Bipolar cells are denser in the periphery of the retina Rods are denser in the periphery of the retina The optic nerve exits at the periphery of the retina.
Which of the following events does not occur during light absorption in the vertebrate eye? The retinal component of rhodopsin changes from cis to trans form. Rhodopsin, a G-proteincoupled receptor, triggers a signaltransduction pathway to close Na+ channels in the plasmamembrane. The light stimulus passes from rods and cones to bipolar cellsand horizontal cells and then to ganglion cells, whose axonscompose the optic nerve. As light absorption increases, the rhodopsin response causesan increase in the release of neurotransmitters. When integrating information across the retina, horizontalcells connect the rods and cones, and amacrine cells join with the bipolar cells and ganglion cells.
Which part of the human eye conveys the electrical signals generated by the light sensitive cells of the retina, on the brain?
5. My cat Mia has poor color vision, but can see very well in dark environments. What characteristic of her retina could best explain this? a. It mostly has ON bipolar cells b. It mostly has OFF bipolar cells c. It has many more rods than cones, particularly around the fovea d. It has many more cones than rods, particularly around the fovea e. It has very few photoreceptors and many more retinal ganglion cells

Which of the following best describes the function of a camera type eye? A) To form high-definition images that are transmitted to the brain. B) To gather and concentrate light through a lens onto retinal tissue which generates an impulse that is transmitted to the brain. C) To protect the optic nerve which generates an impulse that is transmitted to the brain. D) To detect vibrations through the vitreous body which generates an impulse that is transmitted to the brain.
4a) Which of the following is true about infants’ visual acuity? Select one: i. Poor visual acuity early in life allows key features of the visual world to “pop out” ii. Before 3 months, infants are not able to make sense of their visual world iii. It’s not possible to test visual acuity before infants are 6 months iv. Newborns have poor visual acuity, but excellent colour vision 4b)You see the results of an eye-tracking study in which infants were required to look at human faces. You see that infant A spent most time looking at the contour of the face, while infant B spent a lot of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. You conclude that infant B is most likely: Select one: i. Showing signs of a developmental disorder ii. Older than infant A iii. Bilingual iv. Younger than infant A 4c)Which statement is FALSE regarding infants’ perception abilities at birth? Select one: i. Even young babies have visual biases that help them organize their visual world (e.g., use of motion cues) ii.…
