4) Image Detection by the retina (10 points): The back of the retina is covered with a single layer of photoreceptor cells. This configuration is like a camera consisting of an array of photodetectors or photosensitive pixels. Then, why stimulating the retina in retinal implant applications is not as simple as applying the stimulus according to light intensity falling on the retina?

"4. Cellular components of the Retina_ What controls vision under strong light or under dim light? What controls color vision? 5. Fundus images You need to know how to read fundus images. Can you tell R or L eyes? Where is optic nerve? What is the name of the center of the retina? 6. How do optic nerves relay inside the brain? Where do they cross the midline? What's the consequences? Where do optic nerves relay in the brain? Which lobe has visual cortex? 7 . Ear Structures: What controls 1) hearing 2) pressure balance and 3) posture balance? What nerves?"
