Document Summary
Cone pigments have short wavelengths, which absorb best at 419nm, medium wavelength pigments that absorb best at. 531nm, and long wavelength pigments that absorb best at. A type of myopia, or nearsightedness. signals travel between these cells through amacrine cells where the optic nerve leaves the eye. A binocular cue for perceiving depth; the extent to which the eyes converge. It cannot adjust its focus. increasing sensitivity in the dark function relating sensitivity to light to time in the dark. Movement of this curve downward means that observer"s sensitivity is increasing. head or brain injury prevents retinal and opsin from recombining, resulting in blindness increases neural firing. The inside of the neuron becomes more positive, which is known as depolarization. potassium ions rush out of the axon, causing axon charge to be negative: +40mv back to. 70mv. the distance at which light becomes focused on the retina the small area of the retina used when looking directly at an object.
