If a person can read letters at 20 feet that are readable at that distance to all people with normal vision, that person's visual acuity, or "eyesight", is said to be 20/20. If, on the other hand, a person is barely able to read letters at 20 feet that are readable at 40 feet to all people with normal vision.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a condition characterized by "blemishid vision"; that is, instead of light rays striking the retina in sharp focus, they spread out over a more or less diffuse area. Astigmatism is caused by the unequal curvature of either the cornea or the lens, sometimes both. Because the cornea and lens, are never optically perfect, most of us experience some degree of astigmatism. To correct astigmatism, the ophthalmologist prescribes glasses that compensate for the faulty curvatures of the refracting surfabes

The Respiratory TractThe respiratory tract includes the nose, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), bronchus, and lung in this order. Lining the tract is a special ciliated epithelium. The nasal cavities are fashioned into tortuous passageways, and the trachea and primary bronchi are composed of cartilaginous rings strung together by connective tissue and smooth muscle. We also find smooth muscle throughout the small bronchi and bronchioles. |

Structure and Action of MuscleThe skeletal muscle make up the bulk of the human body. They are the muscle masses that attach to bones for the purpose of movement and posture. Muscles vary greatly in size and shape, ranging from the tiny stapedius of the middle ear to the bulky gluteus maximus of the buttock. The typical muscle has a main part (called the body) and two extremities ( called the body), both of which are attached to bone or cartilage. When such an attachment terminates as a strong white cord, we call it a tendon. |
