What senses contain specialized receptor cells via specialized somatic and visceral afferents? - Answer-
smell & equilibrium ( a&c)
the posterior portion of the outer fibrous layer of the eye is called the ____ - Answer-sclera
what portion of the eye supplies blood supply to the outer layers of the eye? - Answer-choroid (of the
middle layer)
true or false: the more numerous type of photoreceptors are rods - Answer-true
what is the correct order of how light passes through the eye? - Answer-cornea, lens, vitreous fluid,
retina
A patient had a CVA in the area indicated by the red x in the figure, below. What type of blindness is the
patient most likely to incur? Explain your reasoning. - Answer-Bilateral left visual field blindness.
The right optic tract is damaged. All the sensory information from the left visual fields travels together
after the optic chiasm to the right side of the brain.
A patient has a brain tumor in the area indicated by the red x in the figure, below. What type of
blindness is the patient most likely to incur? Explain your reasoning. - Answer-Left eye blindness because

would pull the eye medially when looking straight ahead, causing blurry vision.

2.) malleus
3.) cochlea
4.)tympanic membrane
5.) incus
