Question

chapter 04 quiz: sensation and perception
total points: --/20

  1. of the two types of specialized receptors in the retina, which is involved in daytime vision and color?

retina
iris
cones
rods

  1. if an image is presented in the right visual field, it travels a pathway through the optic chiasm and thalamus to eventually be processed in what area of the brain?

retina
left visual cortex
auditory cortex
right visual cortex

    retina
    left visual cortex
    auditory cortex
    right visual cortex

  2. Brief Explanations
    1. For the first question: The retina contains two photoreceptors. Rods handle low-light/night vision, while cones are responsible for daytime, high-acuity, and color vision. The retina is the tissue holding these receptors, and the iris controls pupil size, so neither is the receptor itself.
    2. For the second question: Visual information from the right visual field crosses at the optic chiasm, travels to the thalamus, and is processed in the opposite (left) hemisphere's visual cortex. The retina is the eye's sensory layer, and the auditory cortex processes sound, not vision.
