Microscopic Anatomy of the Retina
11. The two major layers of the retina are the epithelial and neural layers. In the neural layer, the neuron populations are arranged as follows from the pigmented epithelial layer to the vitreous humor. (Circle the proper response.) bipolar cells, ganglion cells, photoreceptors ganglion cells, bipolar cells, photoreceptors 12. The axons of the -:;:.g_an.....:g'-l_io_n photoreceptors, ganglion cells, bipolar cells ( photoreceptors, bipolar cells, ganglion ccliS)
cells form the optic nerve, which exits from the eyeball.
13. Complete the following statements by writing either rods or cones on each blank. The dim light receptors are the _r_o_d_s mostly _'_"o_d_s . Only _co_n_e_s are found in the fovea centralis, whereas are the photoreceptors that operate best

Dissection of the Cow (Sheep) Eye
14. What modification of the choroid that is not present in humans is found in the cow eye? _Tt_a"--p_et_u_m_l_u_cl_·d_u_m What is its function? To reflect light that enters the eye, thus increasing light stimulation of the retina under dim light conditions. _
15. What does the retina look like? Thin yellowish
white membrane.
(Often becomes
crumpled
during dissection
of the eye.) _
At what point is it attached to the posterior aspect of the eyeball? _A_t_t_h_e_op=---tic_dl_·s_c.
Visual Pathways to the Brain
16. The visual pathway to the occipital lobe of the brain consists most simply of a chain of five cells. Beginning with the photoreceptor cell of the retina, name them and note their location in the pathway.
1. 2. 3. photo receptor bipolar ganglion cell; retina 4. 5. neuron; lateral geniculate nucleus (visual) of the thalamus cortex of the
cell; retina cell; retina
cortical neuron; occipital cerebral hemisphere(s)
17. Visual field tests are done to reveal destruction along the visual pathway from the retina to the optic region of the brain. Note where the lesion is likely to be in the following cases. Normal vision in left eye visual field; absence of vision in right eye visual field: _R_l..:::·g_h_t o--'p_t_ic_n_e_r_ve
_
Normal vision in both eyes for right half of the visual field; absence of vision in both eyes for left half of the visual field:
Right optic tract (or right optic cortex)
18. How is the right optic tract anatomically different from the right optic nerve?
The right optic nerve contains fibers from the
right eye only. The right optic tract contains fibers from the lateral aspect of the right eye and the medial aspect of the left eye.
