What senses contain specialized receptor cells via specialized somatic and visceral
afferents? - correct answer smell & equilibrium ( a &c)
the posterior portion of the outer fibrous layer of the eye is called the ____ - correct
answer sclera
what portion of the eye supplies blood supply to the outer layers of the eye? - correct
answer choroid (of the middle layer)
true or false: the more numerous type of photoreceptors are rods - correct answer
true
what is the correct order of how light passes through the eye? - correct 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. - correct
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. - correct
answer Left eye blindness because there is damage to the left optic nerve.
Information from the left visual field has not yet crossed at the optic chiasm. Both
peripheral and nasal fields of the left eye would be missing.
True or False: All sensory information from the optic nerves cross at the optic chiasm. -
correct answer F
The ________ is controlled by the trochlear nerve. - correct answer Superior
oblique
Your elderly patient is discussing her vision problems. She describes her vision as
blurry. Following a visual examination, her left eye deviates medially when looking
straight ahead. What is most likely causing the vision problem? Explain your reasoning.
- correct answer The abducens nerve controls the lateral rectus. Damage to the
, lateral rectus would cause there to be a muscle imbalance, and the medial rectus would
pull the eye medially when looking straight ahead, causing blurry vision.

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding the external ear? - correct
answerThe external acoustic meatus travels through the parietal bone.
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the external ear? - correct
answerThe auricle funnels sound into the external acoustic meatus.
Which of the following statements is false regarding the middle ear? - correct
