Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The image formed on the retina is upside down and reversed from its actual appearance in the outside world. The light rays are refracted through the transparent media of the eye before striking the retina, and the nerve impulses are conducted through the optic nerve tract to the visual cortex of the occipital lobe of the brain. The left side of the brain interprets vision for the right eye.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The pupillary light reflex is the normal constriction of the pupils when bright light shines on the retina. The other responses are not correct.
