Which of the following statements is incorrect about human eye?

A

The diameter of the pupil is regulated by the muscle fibers of iris under autonomic nervous system.

B

The retina of human eyes has two types of cones which possess their own characteristic photopigments .

C

The Fovea is a thinned - out portion of the retina where only cones are densely packed .

D

Light induces dissociation of the retinal from opsin resulting in changes in the structure of the opsin.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect about the human eye, we will analyze each option provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement A**: - The statement claims that the pupil diameter is regulated by the muscle fibers of the iris, which are under the control of the autonomic nervous system. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The iris does control the size of the pupil in response to light intensity, and this process is indeed regulated by the autonomic nervous system. 2. **Analyze Statement B**: - The statement claims that there are two types of cones in the retina of the eye. - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. There are actually three types of cone cells in the human retina: red, blue, and green cones. These cones enable color vision through their different combinations. 3. **Analyze Statement C**: - The statement claims that the fovea is a thinned-out portion of the retina where cones are densely packed. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The fovea is indeed the area of the retina with the highest concentration of cone cells, allowing for sharp vision. 4. **Analyze Statement D**: - The statement claims that light dissociates retinal from opsin, causing a change in the structure of opsin. - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. The process described is part of the phototransduction pathway, where light causes a change in the structure of the opsin protein, leading to visual signal transduction. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement about the human eye is **Statement B**, which states that there are two types of cones in the retina. In reality, there are three types of cones (red, blue, and green). ---
