Response
Question 84
Brief Explanations
- A stye is an infection of an oil gland in the eyelid.
- Palpebritis is inflammation of the eyelid.
- Dacryocystitis is inflammation of the tear sac (lacrimal sac).
- Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva.
So the correct answer is the option with "dacryocystitis".
Brief Explanations
- The macula is a small area in the retina, not the structure described.
- The sclera is the white outer layer of the eye, not involved in light interpretation with rods and cones.
- The retina has a vascular coat (choroid) and contains rods and cones for light and color interpretation.
- The cornea is the clear front layer, not with rods/cones.
So the correct answer is the option with "retina".
