If a patient suffers a stroke that destroys the optic tract on the right side of the brain, which of the following visual defects will result ?

A

There will be no vision in the left eye, but vision will be normal in the right eye.

B

The patient will not perceive images of objects striking the left half of the retina in the left eye.

C

The patient will not perceive images of objects strinking the right half of the retina in the right eye.

D

Neither eye will perceive objects in the right side of the patient's field of view.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When the right optic tract is destroyed, perception of images formed on the right half of the retina is lost, so nothing is visible at the left side of a person's field of view.

A list of steps involved in mechanism of vision is given below in a random order. (i)Neural impulses are analysed and image formed on retina is recognised by visual cortex. (ii)Membrane permeability changes (iii)Ganglion cells are excited (iv)Bipolar cells are depolarised (v)Action potentials (impulse) are transmitted by optic nerves to visual cortex. (vi)Potential differences are generated in the photoreceptor cells. (vii)Light energy causes a change in shape of rhodopsin, leading to the dissociation of retina (an aldehyde of vitamin A ) from opsin (a protein) (viii)Structure of opsin is changed. Which of the following options represents these events in a correct order ?

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follows: Rhodinus, a blood-sucking bug, shows five instars before it metamorphoses into an adult. It ahs a very long head with the brain located at tip and an organ called Corpora Cardiaca (C C) behind it. The hormone that ensures the continuum of the juvenile stages is called a juvenile hormone. Behind the head is a pro - thoracic gland, which gets triggered by the Pro - Thoracico - Tropic Hormone (PTTH) to release ecdysone required for molting into an adult. The following observations were made when the juveniles of this insect were subjected to various conditions : 1. Starved juveniles (any instar) when decapitated rarr remained juveniles and did not molt into adults. 2. Well-fed juveniles (any instar) when decapitated rarr molted into adults. 3. Starved juveniles (any instar) when partially decapitated to remove the brain cells rarr remained juveniles and did not molt into adults. 4. Well - fed juveniles (any instar) when partially deitated to remove the brain cells rarr did not molt into adults. If an unfed, completely decapitated, fth (final) instar juvenile is connected to a well-fed, decapitated fourth instar juvenile by a glass tube so that fluids can be exchanged, what whill be the expected result ?
