A patient is involved in a minor accident and later reports complete loss of vision in the right eye. On examination, the left eye has normal visual acuity and intact visual fields. Pupillary reflex testing reveals abnormalities when light is shone into the affected eye. Imaging suggests damage to a cranial nerve responsible for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain. Based on this presentation, what is the most likely outcome of the injury?  

After studying for a long time in a noisy café, you initially notice the background chatter, but after a while you stop being aware of it even though the noise is still present. Which process BEST explains this change in perception?

During an oral anatomy exam, a student observes enlarged papillae on the anterior portion of the tongue that are highly vascular and contain taste buds. The instructor notes that these structures are not primarily involved in mechanical food manipulation. Which type of papillae are MOST likely being described?            

A patient requires a corneal transplant following severe damage to the eye. The ophthalmologist explains that corneal transplants are among the most successful types of organ transplants. Which of the following characteristics MOST contributes to the high success rate of corneal transplants? A. The cornea has no blood vessels, reducing immune system exposure to donor antigensB. The cornea contains high levels of regenerative stem cells that rapidly replace donor tissueC. The cornea is surrounded by a thick capsule that prevents immune cell entryD. The cornea is primarily composed of cartilage, which is poorly recognized by immune cellsE. All of the above  

   A patient closes their eyes and is asked to raise one arm. They are unable to tell whether the arm is bent or straight, and cannot sense where their limbs are positioned in space, even though they can still feel touch, pain, and temperature normally. This deficit most directly reflects dysfunction of which sensory system?  

A person is unable to hear after a middle ear infection. Which structure likely failed to transmit vibrations?

A person feels a sharp pinprick on their hand. Which receptor detects this stimulus?

Which feature best distinguishes Walton’s “wise interventions” from many other brief interventions?

Calculate the wavelength of light emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition from ni = 5  nf = 1 and indicate the region of the electromagnetic spectrum (infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc.) where the light is found. (4 points) (Use: RH = 2.18 x 10-18 J; h = 6.63 x 10-34 Js ; c = 3 x 108 m/s)  

If electrons are ejected from a metal when yellow light is shone on it, explain, using the photoelectric effect what will happen if: (6 points) X-ray was used (2 points) Infrared light was used. (4 points)
