19
Q

upper retinal fields correspond to __ visual field

A

UPPER RETINA –> INFERIOR Visual field

20
Q

lower retinal fields correspond to __ visual field

A

LOWER RETINA –> SUPERIOR Visual field

21
Q

Damage to the nasal retina would produce what type of vision?

A

Tunnel vision –> loss of all lateral visual fields

22
Q

Nasal retina fibers correspond to what visual space?

A

Nasal retina –> LATERAL visual space
