Question
Chapter 50.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason that our brains receive more action potential when eyes are exposed to sunlight even though the photoreceptors release more neurotransmitter in the dark.
Concept introduction:
The human eye is composed of rod and cone cells, which helps us to see images with different color and black and white. When the light enters the eyes, the amount of neurotransmitter is decreased. Therefore the intensity of light is inversely proportional to the concentration of the neurotransmitter generated.

- Hi please helparrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/l_3-D1) to learn more about how the brain perceives 3-D motion. Similar to how retinal disparity offers 3-D moviegoers a way to extract 3-D information from the two-dimensional visual field projected onto the retina, the brain can extract information about movement in space by comparing what the two eyes see. If movement of a visual stimulus is leftward in one eye and rightward in the opposite eye, the brain interprets this as movement toward (or away) from the face along the midline. If both eyes see an object moving in the same direction, but at different rates, what would that mean for spatial movement?arrow_forwardCan measures of sensory acuity be obtained through filaments and biothesiometer?

- FIll in blank.arrow_forward4 The human eye has a biological control system that varies the pupil diameter to maintain constant light intensity to the retina. As the light intensity increases, the optical nerve sends a signal to the brain, which commands internal eye muscles to decrease the pupil's eye diameter. When the light intensity decreases, the pupil diameter increases. Draw a functional block diagram of the light-pupil system indicating the input, output, and intermediate signals; the sensor; the controller; and the actuator.
