10
The formation of images on the retina involves three processes: 1. refraction of light rays 2. accommodation of the lens 3. constriction of the pupil
11
Refraction of Light 1. light passes through different media different media 2. light bends at interfaces interfaces 3. 60% at cornea 4. 40% by lens
12
Accomodation 1. biconvex lens 2. point of intersection 3. near object = more convex 4. far object = less convex 5. role of ciliary muscle
13
Constriction of the Pupil 1. part of accommodation reflex 2. limits peripheral light
14
Convergence of the Eyes 1. single binocular vision 2. corresponding points 3. complementary photoreceptors 4. near vision = medial rotation of eyes
15
The Visual Process
16
Photoreceptors 1. central fovea 2. visual axis 3. rods and cones 4. outer segments 5. visual pigments 6. glutamate 7. dark vs light conditions conditions
17
Visual Acuity Rod cells not present in central fovea increase in concentration to ora serrata dim light and peripheral vision 100% cone cells in central fovea diminish in number toward ora serrata three different types: blue, red, green cone cells bright light required to break pigments 1:1 relationship with bipolar cells visual acuity and color vision 6 – 600 rod cells converge on 1 bipolar cell, as well as amacrine and horizontal cells. Cone cells
18
Photoreceptors
19
DARK rod cell Na+ channels open membrane depolarizes Na+ inflow stimulates glutamate release glutamate inhibits bipolar cells LIGHT rod cell Na+ channels close membrane hyperpolarizes no Na+ inflow prevents glutamate release bipolar cells initiate action potential visual pathway started X DARK VERSUS LIGHT CONDITIONS
20
Dark versus light conditions
21
The Visual Pathway The visual pathway begins with stimulation of the bipolar neurons by photoreceptor cells. 1. 6 - 600 rod cells converge on 1 bipolar cell, as well as amacrine and horizontal cells 2. Cone cells have a 1:1 relationship with bipolar cells
