Exam No:0610_w15_qp_12 Year:2015 Question No:24
Answer:
A
Knowledge points:
14.2.1 Define sense organs as groups of receptor cells responding to specific stimuli: light, sound, touch, temperature and chemicals
14.2.2 Identify the structures of the eye, limited to cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve and blind spot
14.2.3 Describe the function of each part of the eye, limited to: – cornea – refracts light – iris – controls how much light enters pupil – lens – focuses light onto retina – retina – contains light receptors, some sensitive to light of different colours – optic nerve – carries impulses to the brain
14.2.4 Explain the pupil reflex in terms of light intensity and pupil diameter only
14.2.5 Explain the pupil reflex in terms of light intensity and antagonistic action of circular and radial muscles in the iris
14.2.6 Explain accommodation to view near and distant objects in terms of the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscles, tension in the suspensory ligaments, shape of the lens and refraction of light
14.2.7 State the distribution of rods and cones in the retina of a human
14.2.8 Outline the function of rods and cones, limited to greater sensitivity of rods for night vision and three different kinds of cones absorbing light of different colours for colour vision
14.2.9 Identify the position of the fovea
