Answer to Question 1

The parvocellular neurons, with small cell bodies and small receptive fields, are mostly in or near the fovea. (Parvocellular means small celled, from the Latin root parv, meaning small..) The magnocellular neurons, with larger cell bodies and receptive fields, are distributed evenly
throughout the retina. (Magnocellular means large celled, from the Latin root magn, meaning large.. The same root appears in magnify.)

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
