Adi S.
At approximately what rate does the optic nerve transmit visual signals to the brain? Group of answer choices 1,000 bits per second 100 million bits per second 20 million bits per second 50,000 bits per second Question 2 The ______ is the transparent outer coat of the front of the eye. Group of answer choices sclera pupil cornea iris Question 3 The place of central focus on the retina is called the ______. Group of answer choices fovea declan disk lamella optic disk Question 4 The cell membranes of photoreceptors contain sodium and calcium channels that are normally ______. Group of answer choices closed depolarized open hyperpolarized Question 5 The blind spot is the location on the retina where ______. Group of answer choices there are no photoreceptors the cones are most densely packed night vision and visual acuity meet the rods are most densely packed Question 6 After observing the effect of passing light through a prism, Newton proposed in 1672 that white light was composed of 7 fundamental colors. It was later proven false by the ______ theory. Group of answer choices Young-Helmholtz trichromatic retinotopic opponent process Question 7 The trichromatic theory says that ______. Group of answer choices just three colors account for all the possible color combinations that can be distinguished color vision is explained by opposing neural processes red, blue, and green produce white when combined red, blue, and green produce black when combined Question 8 The ______ cell is a neuron in the visual cortex that responds best to a line or an edge with a particular orientation and will continue to respond if the line or edge moves within a limited range. Group of answer choices simple complex ganglion motion hypercomplex Question 9 The dorsal stream is also called the ______ pathway due to its role in action. Group of answer choices where when how why Question 10 Synesthesia is ______. Group of answer choices a stimulation in one sense triggering an experience in another insufficient binding of sensory information over-binding of sensory information decreased communication among brain areas
