The vitreous humor of the eye has an average pH of 7.29 which is just slightly alkaline. Diabetes characteristically causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye which can result in bleeding into the vitreous humor, which will lower the pH (although the pH is not the problem, it is the opacity of the blood which obscures vision).

How does the presence of 11 cis retinal impact the process of vision in humans?

The presence of 11-cis retinal is essential for the process of vision in humans because it is a component of rhodopsin, a light-sensitive protein in the retina. When light enters the eye, it causes 11-cis retinal to change into all-trans retinal, triggering a series of chemical reactions that ultimately result in the generation of electrical signals sent to the brain, allowing us to see.

Does the causes of diabetes ever change?

The causes of diabetes aren't entirely known. Some are born with it and others develop it due to poor eating habits. You can control your diabetes by eating healthy and exercising.


What are the steps in photo reception?

A photon strikes a rhodospin molecule in the membrane disk and when the photon is absorbed a change in the retinal component takes place which activates opsin. Then bleaching occurs in which rhodopsin breaks down into retinal and opsin. The retinal has to be converted back to its original shape in order to recomibine with opsin, which occurs by ATP. Since that happens recovery has to happen where opsin and retinal become one again to recombine into rhodospin in which the arrival of that photon produces an actional potential and begins an impulse along the optic nerve. :)

What is the bent or kinked form of retinal is combined with a protein called?

The bent or kinked form of retinal combined with a protein is known as rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive receptor protein found in the rods of the retina, which is essential for vision in low-light conditions. When light hits rhodopsin, it causes a conformational change in retinal, triggering a signal that leads to visual perception.

Where can the beam change direction in my eye?

The beam of light entering your eye can change direction at the cornea, the lens, and the vitreous body. These structures help focus the light onto the retina at the back of the eye, where the images are formed.
