  3. 8. Adjustment of retinal sensitivity when transitioning from bright light to darkness. (Page 567)
  4. 11. Midbrain structure involved in visual reflexes and eye movement coordination. (Page 565)
  5. 13. Chiasma X-shaped structure where optic nerve fibers partially cross over. (Page 564)
  6. 14. Area in the occipital lobe where conscious visual perception occurs. (Page 566)
  7. 15. Anteriorly protect the eyes; separated by the palpebral fissure. (Page 546)
  8. 16. pathway carrying visual information from the lateral geniculate nucleus to the visual cortex. (Page 565)
  9. 17. Adjustment of retinal sensitivity when transitioning from darkness to bright light. (Page 567)
  10. 18. gland Produces tears that moisten and cleanse the eye. (Page 548)
  11. 20. Neural processing of visual information from rods and cones to higher visual areas. (Page 567)
Down
  1. 1. Midbrain nucleus involved in mediating pupillary light reflexes. (Page 566)
  2. 2. Tough, opaque layer protecting the eye; continuous with the dura mater of the brain. (Page 549)
  3. 3. Gel-like substance filling the posterior segment of the eyeball; maintains eye shape. (Page 550)
  4. 5. Ability to perceive spatial relationships between objects in the visual field. (Page 566)
  5. 7. Transparent structure allowing light to enter the eye; part of the light-bending apparatus. (Page 549)
  6. 9. Fluid filling the anterior segment of the eyeball; helps maintain intraocular pressure. (Page 550)
  7. 10. Thalamic nuclei where visual information from the optic tracts is processed and relayed. (Page 565)
  8. 12. Thickened ring of tissue encircling the lens; contains ciliary muscles. (Page 549)
  9. 19. Adjustable focusing apparatus of the eye; held in place by the ciliary zonule. (Page 549)
