1 25 Things To Know Vision

2 Magnetism Electromagnetic Energy Electricity

3 Magnetism Electromagnetic Energy Electricity

4 Light Frequency Amplitude

5 Light Frequency How often it comes Wave length Peak to peak Long length is slow Color

6 Light Fast Slow

7 LIGHT

8 Light Amplitude How tall wave Intensity Brightness

9 Absorb & Reflect Light sources: sun, light bulb, candle, moon

10 Absorb & Reflect Reflection based on: Relative distance Object color & smoothness

11 Absorb & Reflect Perceived color is reflected Everything but purple absorbed

12 EYE Transducer of light into neural signal

13 EYE Transducer of light into neural signal process: transduction action: transducing object: transducer

14 Human Eye Sclera Greek for hard 1 mm thick Fibrous strands in parallel like fiber strapping tape

15 Human Eye Sclera White of the eye Covers entire ball Not cornea & optic nerve exit Fibers resist internal pressure twice the atmosphere

16 Human Eye Held-moved by 6 tiny muscles Nystagmus = can t hold eyes still

17 Human Eye Strabismus (strabismic amblyopia) Lazy Eye or Amblyopia Eyes don t point same direction Two don t help perceive depth

18 Human Eye Strabismus Treatment Patch over active eye Play action video games

19 Human Eye Bulges out from sclera Smooth, neatly organized Cornea

20 Human Eye Transparent (no blood vessels) Very sensitive to touch (close lid) Cornea

21 Human Eye Nourished by tears (on outside) aqueous humor (on inside) Aqueous humor Cornea

22 Human Eye 2/3 of focus of eye Dome-shaped Aqueous humor Cornea

23 Human Eye Irregularity of surface Aqueous humor Astigmatism = blurry lines Inherited condition Cornea

24 Human Eye Cornea Astigmatism Symptoms squinting & blurred vision headaches, eye strain

25 Astigmatism Cornea warping Blurred vision for lines in one direction Treatment Glasses before age 3-4 years

26 Aqueous Humor Spongy tissue Keeps eye inflated Removes waste

27 Aqueous Humor Mostly water Also an antioxidant Protects from UV rays Provides oxygen, nourishment to cornea & lens

28 Aqueous Humor Continuously refreshed In from ciliary body Drained into Schlemm s canal

29 Aqueous Humor Glaucoma Blockage of aqueous humor Damage to iris Blindness

30 Human Eye Pupil & Iris Aqueous humor Pupil Cornea Iris

31 Human Eye Iris 2 layers Outer layer of pigment Color part of eye Can be translucent (albinos) Inner layer of blood vessels

32 Human Eye Pupil of the Iris Hole in middle of iris 2 sets of muscles circular = close pupil radial = open pupil

33 Human Eye Pupil of the Iris Varies in size (4:1 ratio) Allows 16: 1 ratio of light actual ratio changes with age in dim light, 80 yr old has half as wide opening as 20 yr old

34 Human Eye Pupil of the Iris Advantages of small opening = depth of field

35 Human Eye Aqueous humor Pupil Cornea Iris Lens

36 Human Eye Lens held in place by strings (zonules) suspended

37 Human Eye Lens Crystalline (bean shaped) diameter & thick of large aspirin Has no blood vessels Mostly water & protein

38 Human Eye Lens 3 parts elastic covering changes shape of lens controls flow of aqueous humor

39 Human Eye Lens 3 parts elastic covering epithelial Toward edge of lens synthesizes proteins

40 Human Eye Lens 3 parts elastic covering epithelial lens

41 Human Eye Lens Never stops growing Adds fibers to edge center becomes thin some center fibers there at birth

42 Human Eye Lens Never stops growing As ages more dense & hard (sclerosis) less transparent (cataract)

43 Human Eye Lens Can be irregularly shaped Can cause astigmatism, but not common

44 Cataracts Born with cloudy lens If surgically repaired at 2-6 months old eventually nearly normal vision

45 Cataracts Born with cloudy lens Early cataract in left eye limits visual info to right hem. face recognition

46 Human Eye Aqueous humor Retina Pupil Vitreous humor Cornea Iris Lens

47 Human Eye Vitreous Humor Jelly-like, like raw egg whites Not continuously renewed Floaters

48 Human Eye Vitreous Humor More liquid with age Can become detached posterior vitreous detachmentor (PVD)

49 Human Eye Retinal Circulatory System 1 of 2 blood supplies retinal circulatory system in front of the retina leaves shadows on retina; brain ignores steady state information

50 Human Eye Retinal Circulatory System Supplies nourishment to nonreceptor structures (ganglion, horizontal cells, etc.)

51 Retina

52 inner limiting membrane Vitreous humor & retina formed by astrocytes Feet of Müller cells

53 inner limiting membrane Müller cells (glial) support cells for retina act as light collectors Like a fiber optic plate Funnels light to rods & cones

54 Macula Depression in retina Unobstructed Near center Off to side Optic nerve Blood vessels

55 Macula Degeneration has two causes: Dry (nonexudative) Cellular debris (drusen) Yellow deposits Grow between retina & choroid

56 Macular Degeneration Drusen deposits grow Macula Choroid (blood system)

57 Macula Degeneration has two causes: Dry (nonexudative) Retina becomes detached Severity depends on size and # of drusen

58 Macula Degeneration has two causes: Wet (exudative) Choroid blood vessels grow Retina becomes detached

59 Macular Degeneration Blood vessels Macula Choroid (blood system)

60 Macular Degeneration Wet (exudative) More severe Retina detached Treatments Laser coagulation and meds

61 Macular Degeneration Older adults (major cause of blindness) Loss of vision in center Can t read or recognize faces Lose most detail of images

62 Macula Fovea is in center of macula Fine details Sharp images

63 Macula Fovea Retina Choroid (blood system)

64 Fovea Fovea centralis In center of macula Most cones are here No S-cones

65 Fovea Fovea = L & M cones; v. sharp Parafovea = S & rods; sharpish Periforvea Outer region Poor acuity Mostly rods

66 Retina Light Net of layers Ganglion cells = to brain Amacrine cells = interneurons Bipolar cells = receptor output Horizontal cells = sharp edges Rod & cones Processing

67 Rods & Cones Two separate system Work together & separately Scotopic system (rods) Photopic system (cones)

68 RODS Outside rods narrow and cylindrical in shape filled with rod disks

69 RODS Rod disks 900 free-floating lamellae Floating in cytoplasm Contain visual purple (rhodopsin) Like ink in laser printer Can t process purple light

70 Rod spherule Inner segment (w mitochondria) Nucleus Cilium (connector) Lamellae (purple disks)

71 RODS Inside rods: cell nucleus fiber ending in a single end-bulb (a rod spherule)

72 RODS Polarization Normal neuron -70mV resting potential depolarises to +40mV.

73 RODS Polarization Rods resting potential is -30mV Hit by light Hyperpolarizes to -60mV

74 RODS Connect to bipolar cells Many rods to one ganglion Spatial summation

75 Rods & Cones Rods are peripheral Night vision (10k more sens.) Target detection Fast processing Low quality images Intensity & shades of gray Sensitive to lots of wavelengths

76 Rods & Cones Cones are centralized Day vision Target identification Slow processing High quality images Color Sensitive to specific wavelengths

77 Cones Structure Shorter, broader, and more tapered than rods Have no visual purple

78 Rod spherule (round ball) Inner segment (w mitochondria) Nucleus Cilium (connector) Lamellae (separate disks)

79 Cone pedicule (flattened oval) Inner segment (w mitochondria) Nucleus Cilium (connector) Folded lamellae (not disks)

80 Cones Contains 1 of 3 photopigments Long Medium Short

81 1 to 1 1 cone to 1 bipolar cell 1 bipolar to 1 ganglion cell 1 ganglion cell chain to brain Midget ganglions Each cone has corresponding spot in visual cortex

82 1 to 1 Midget Ganglion Cells Small Each cone has one Each fovea cone Direct line to brain Exact location of point of light

83 Retina Light Net of layers Ganglion cells = to brain Amacrine cells = interneurons Bipolar cells = receptor output Horizontal cells = sharp edges Rod & cones Processing

84 Wiring 1 st route is direct to bipolar cell 2nd route is to horizontal cell horizontal then goes to bipolar

85 Wiring Retina 120 million rods (20:1) 6 million cones Need pattern recognition cells Lateral inhibition

86 Lateral inhibition Horizontal cells inhibit neighbor Inhibit bipolar cells Activate 1 cone, tells next to stop Give very sharp lines & edges

87 Retina Light Net of layers Ganglion cells = to brain Amacrine cells = interneurons Bipolar cells = receptor output Horizontal cells = sharp edges Rod & cones Processing

88 Retina Bipolar cells

89 Retina Light Net of layers Ganglion cells = to brain Amacrine cells = interneurons Bipolar cells = receptor output Horizontal cells = sharp edges Rod & cones Processing

90 Retina Amacrine cells Get info from bipolars Sent into to Bipolars Other amacrines Ganglions

91 Retina Light Net of layers Ganglion cells = to brain Amacrine cells = interneurons Bipolar cells = receptor output Horizontal cells = sharp edges Rod & cones Processing

92 Retina Ganglion cells Form the optic nerve (optic tract) Leave eye through blind spot

93 Receptor output Receptors signal bipolar cells Neurons close to center of eye Bipolars signal ganglion cells Even closer to center of eye Ganglion axons join together loop around, then out to brain
