What is the significance of the B- wave in ER G? Normal response Indicates retinal health Indicates inflammation None of the above
Solusi
Jawaban
The correct answer is **Indicates retinal health**. Here's why:* **ERGs (Electroretinograms)** are tests that measure the electrical activity of the retina in response to light stimulation. * **The B-wave** is a prominent positive wave in the ERG that reflects the activity of the photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) and the bipolar cells in the retina. * **A healthy B-wave** indicates that these cells are functioning properly and responding to light stimuli as expected.**The other options are incorrect:*** **Indicates inflammation:** While inflammation can affect the retina, it's not directly reflected in the B-wave. Other ERG components might be affected in cases of inflammation.* **None of the above:** This is incorrect as the B-wave is a significant indicator of retinal health.
