Damage to Broca's area in the brain typically results in:
Receptive aphasia (difficulty understanding speech)
Loss of vision
Loss of hearing
Expressive aphasia (difficulty producing speech)
Which cranial nerve is responsible for carrying sensory information related to smell?
Optic Nerve (II)
Oculomotor Nerve (III)
Trigeminal Nerve (V)
Olfactory Nerve (I)
A person with a mutation in the gene encoding rhodopsin kinase experiences prolonged photobleaching after exposure to bright light. This is MOST likely due to:
Increased sensitivity of transducin to light
Delayed regeneration of rhodopsin
Increased synthesis of cGMP
Delayed inactivation of metarhodopsin II
Damage to the optic chiasm directly affects which visual field(s)?
Central vision in both eyes
The entire visual field of the right eye
The entire visual field of the left eye
Peripheral vision in both eyes
An individual presents with difficulty seeing in dim light but normal color vision. Which photoreceptor cells and associated pigment are MOST likely affected?
Cones; Photopsin
Rods; Rhodopsin
Cones; Rhodopsin
Rods; Photopsin
A researcher is studying the accommodation reflex in the eye. Which of the following changes occur when shifting focus from a distant object to a near object?
Ciliary muscles relax, lens becomes less convex, pupils dilate
Ciliary muscles contract, lens becomes less convex, pupils dilate
Ciliary muscles contract, lens becomes more convex, pupils constrict
Ciliary muscles relax, lens becomes more convex, pupils constrict
A patient experiences blurry vision at all distances and reports seeing halos around lights. Which refractive error BEST explains these symptoms, and what lens type corrects it?
Myopia; Concave lens
Hyperopia; Convex lens
Presbyopia; Bifocal lens
Astigmatism; Cylindrical lens
A mutation affecting the cGMP-gated channels in rod cells would MOST directly impact which stage of the phototransduction cascade?
Rhodopsin activation by light
