The correct answer is true.

It is true that the hyperextension bends joint in the opposite direction as flexion.

Extension and flexion are examples of angular motions where by the two axes of joint are being brought together to each other.

At other joints they can have rotational motion which can occur, for example shoulder. Bending the elbow is an example of flexion or clenching a hand into a fist.

Extension describes movement which straightens the increase of an angle which i between the body parts. Neck and trunk has backward movement which is in the posterior direction.

For example when someone stands his or her knees they extend. The leg is moved backward when there is extension of a hip.

The injuries of the ligaments of the ankle are common among athletes like the anterior tibiofibular ligament sprain (AFTL) or calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) which are caused by the inversion of the flexed foot.

Explain the structure and function of the eye as a sensory receptor including the role of;

larisa [96]

Answer:

A) The cornea is the transparent outer covering of the eye,The lens is a curved structure in the eye that that bends light and focuses it for the retina to help you see images clearly.The lens works together with the cornea to focus light correctly on the retina. When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals.

B)The iris is the part of the eye that makes up your eye color. A circular muscle with a hole in the middle.The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye by opening and closing the pupil. The iris uses muscles to change the size of the pupil. These muscles can control the amount of light entering the eye by making the pupil larger or smaller.

C)Rod cells are highly sensitive to light and function in nightvision, whereas cone cells are capable of detecting a wide spectrum of light photons and are responsible for colour vision.
