Explain why vision is lost when it hits the blind spot.

Biology
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]4 years ago
3 0
I don't personally know this but I looked it up and these were some answers I got.

1. There are no photoreceptors present, therefore vision is lost when light hits this spot (the blind spot)

2. Vision is lost when light hits the blind spot because the blind spot lacks photoreceptors, so light focused on it cannot be seen.

3. The back of your eye contains all of the detectors which sense when light hits them, this is how you see. All of these signals are sent to the brain by the optic nerve, which connects to the back of the eye to receive the signals. Where it connects, however, there are no detectors so there is a small patch which each eye is unable to see and the brain has to fill in based on data from the other eye.

Hope it helped!

Umnica [9.8K]
The correct answer is "applying cold compresses to the affected area".

Most of the people stang by a bee or wasp experience a localized reaction and only 3% of the people will exhibit an allergic reaction. The normal localized reaction includes reddening and swelling of the skin, along with a local itching and pain.

Although these reactions will probably start disappearing within a few hours, there are several things that the person could do to alleviate the pain and discomfort. The most important thing to do is to apply ice or cold compresses to the affected area, to reduce the body's inflammatory response.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

1. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body. Normally, the flexible, round red blood cells move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, the red blood are shaped like sickles or crescent moons.

Treatments: Blood transfusion

Symptoms: Pain

2. Diabetes is the <u>condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy</u>. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies.

3. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages.
