Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reaction of an eye's pupil when a person enters the sunshine from a dark room.

Introduction:

Feedback is the pathway, which generates a response against the initial stimuli. This can be positive feedback or negative feedback.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The way in which the opposing reaction of an individual’s eye illustrates the mechanism of negative feedback.

Introduction:

Negative feedback helps in stabilizing a particular system by the activation of the response of the body. It is a type of output of a particular system.

When a person blinks, the part of the brain that interprets visual stimulation is suppressed. The spontaneous act of blinking is controlled by the area of the brain that controls involuntary movements such as breathing and blood pressure. To determine whether the lack of light or the act of blinking causes the suppression,  scientists had subjects close their eyes and then placed a bright flashing light in their mouth to stimulate the photoreceptors in the eyes through the palate. Visual stimulation was still suppressed.  So the photoreceptors in the retina were not stimulated even though they were exposed to light.  This study demonstrated that when a person blinks, it is the act of blinking and not the absence of light that causes the suppression of visual stimulation. In the diagram above, identify the part of the brain that is suppressed during blinking and the part of the brain that controls involuntary, spontaneous blinking. Select one: a. 3 and 8 b. 2 and 9 c. 5 and 6 d. 1…
Match the following statements to the type of cell in the eye each describes (rods or cones). Select "Both" if the statement is true of both cell types. Rods Directly detects light coming into the eye. Different types of this cell Cones respond to different wavelengths (colors) of light. More sensitive to low levels of light. Rods Found in high concentrations at the fovea centralis. Cones < <
Which is the correct order of passing information of light stimuli among cells in the retina? ganglion cell bipolar cells → photoreceptor photoreceptor amacrine cells ganglion cell horizontal cell photoreceptor ganglion cell photoreceptor → bipolar cells → ganglion cell
