flattening of the lenses

Which of the following is the location in the retina at which the sharpest images are produced?

fovea centralis

lacrimal glands Aqueous humor

As a result of an injury, a person cannot see at all with the left eye, but has no trouble seeing with the right eye. The injury has probably severed the

left optic nerve

Contraction of the smooth muscle in the ciliary body causes the

lens to become more spherical.

All of the following are bones that make up the auditory ossicles, except the

oval.

What fluid is located between the bony and membranous labyrinths within the inner ear?

From superficial to deep, the three main cell layers of the neural layer of the retina are

photoreceptors - bipolar cells - ganglion cells

The cartilaginous structure that surrounds the external auditory meatus is the

vestibulocochlear

Which of the below structures carries action potentials caused by sound transduction?

vestibulocochlear nerve
