Human visual hardware is a result of a billion years of evolution within the earths atmosphere where light is scattered by molecules of air‚ moisture‚ particular matter etc. However as we ascend into our atmosphere with decrease density‚ light distribution is changed resulting in our visual hardware receiving visual data in different format. Some Aspects to Consider: 1. Visual acuity is the degree to which the details and contours of objects are perceived. Visual acuity

sensation. As we sense the world or react to particular stimuli ‚ our brains receive that visual information and transform it into neural impulses called transduction. Our eyes‚ a light-capturing organ‚ consists of many parts that aid in our vision. The retina‚ specifically the eye’s light-sensitive surface on which the light rays are focused‚ contain rods and cones. These cells enable color and are sensitive to light (cones) and enable black and white in darkness as well (rods). Perception begins with

Thirdly‚ rhodopsin is a protein that is located on the rod cells of your retina. This protein converts the light entering the eye into signals that are then sent to your optic nerve. Rhodopsin is also essential for vision in areas with dim lighting‚ Do carrots really improve eyesight? Explain. Yes‚ carrots do improve eyesight

Retinoblastoma is a rare form of childhood cancer that develops in the eye. It develops from the retina‚ the most inner part of the eye. This tumor has the potential to be fatal by getting into the brain or spreading to other organs in the body. Retinoblastoma affects infants and young children. It affects 70-80% of one eye and only 20-30% in both. Retinoblastoma usually occurs out of the blue. The childs pediatrician would normally detect it within the first year‚ however there are cases that

The ‘rods’ are thin‚ cylindrical receptor cells in the retina that are highly sensitive to light‚ they also play a role in peripheral vision. Since the pilots sat in the dark cock-pit the rods in their eyes were more sensitive to the light they saw. 3) What cues might Captain Mueller have used to determine
