The process that converts light energy into mechanical energy, which results in increased and decreased action potentials (APs) of vision receptors, is called _______ . Light energy enters the eye first through the _______ , then passes through the _______ and _______ before reaching the _______ , which functions to direct light to the appropriate region of the _______ (the back of the eye). The center of the _______ (the blank above this one) is called the _______ , and it is composed of mostly _______ . List two functions of this region: 1) _______ vision and 2) _______ vision. Any region outside of the center of the retina is called the _______ , which is composed of mostly _______ . The type of sensory receptors for vision are called _______ and they are actually composed of _______ & _______ . The light that hits the back of the eye strikes these (previous three blanks), then these sensory receptors for vision send APs to _______ cells in the eye, which send APs to _______ cells and they send info (APs) to _______ cells which synapse onto _______ cells (acronym –> _______ ). These (last blank) _______ then send information (APs) to the brain with the use of white matter axons!
