Age-Related Sensory Changes Quiz

What is presbyopia associated with?

• Loss of elasticity of the lens

• Increased olfactory receptors

• Enhanced hearing ability

• Improved vision clarity

What causes age-related smell and taste problems?

• Loss of olfactory receptors

• Increased elasticity of the lens

• Enhanced neural pathways

• Improved auditory function

What is the function of the optic chiasma in the visual pathway?

• It transmits sound signals to the brain.

• It is where the optic nerves cross.

• It processes auditory information.

• It connects the brain to the spinal cord.

Which part of the brain is responsible for processing visual information?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Temporal lobe

What is the correct sequence of the visual pathway from the retina to the brain?

• Retina, optic nerve, optic chiasma, optic tracts, thalamus, optic radiations, visual cortex

• Retina, optic tracts, optic nerve, thalamus, optic chiasma, visual cortex, optic radiations

• Retina, optic chiasma, optic nerve, optic tracts, visual cortex, thalamus, optic radiations

• Retina, optic nerve, thalamus, optic chiasma, optic tracts, visual cortex, optic radiations

What is the role of medial fibers in the optic chiasma?

• To enhance color perception

• To help with depth perception

• To improve night vision

• To increase peripheral vision

Where do some fibers travel from the thalamus for visual reflexes?

• To the cerebellum

• To the brainstem

• To the spinal cord

• To the frontal lobe

What happens to a few fibers before reaching the thalamus in the visual pathway?

• They enter the cerebellum for balance

• They branch off and enter nuclei for visual reflexes

• They merge with auditory pathways

• They terminate in the spinal cord

What is the primary function of stereoscopic vision?

• To enhance color perception

• To improve night vision

• To provide depth perception

• To increase peripheral vision

What does stereoscopic vision provide?

• Perception of distance, depth, height, and width of objects

• Ability to see in the dark

• Enhanced color perception

• Faster reaction times
