    Science - Part of The Eye - RUPHAA

    Uploaded by

    Ismail Zue
    The document describes the anatomy and functions of the human eye, including its major parts like the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, as well as the two types of photoreceptors (rods and cones) and how light stimulates them to produce nerve impulses that allow us to see. It also explains the mechanism of sight, from light entering the eye and being focused on the retina by structures like the cornea and lens, to the brain interpreting the nerve impulses from the retina to create an upright visual image. Key parts of the eye discussed are the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve

    Stimuli and Responses

    - Eyes
    Eye lens
    Ciliary muscle Sclera

    Suspensory Choroid
    ligaments

    Retina
    cornea

    Yellow Spot
    Iris

    pupil

    Optic nerve

    Aqueous Humour

    Conjuctiva

    Vitreous Blind spot


    Humour
    Parts of the eye Functions of the eye
    Cornea Transparent layer which refracts and focused light onto the retina

    Iris The coloured part of the eye which controls the size of the pupil

    Pupil Opening in the center of the iris which controls the quantity of light entering the eye

    Aqueous humour Transparent fluid which maintains the shape of the eyeball and focuses light into the eye

    Conjunctiva Transparent membrane which protects the front of the sclera

    Vitreous humour Transparent jelly-like substance which maintains the shape of the eyeball and focuses light onto
    the retina
    Blind spot Part of the retina which is not sensitive to light as there no photoreceptors and an exit point for
    all optic nerve fibres
    Optic nerves Neve fibres which carry nerve impulses from the retina to the brain to be interpreted

    Yellow spot Part of the retina which is most sensitive to light as it has many photoreceptors

    Retina Layer containing photoreceptors which detects light and produces nerve impulses

    Choroid Black layer that prevents reflection of light in the eye and supplies oxygen and nutrients to the eye

    Sclera Strong layer that maintains the shape of the eye and protects it

    Eye lens Transparent and elastic convex lens which focuses light onto the retina

    Ciliary muscle Muscle that changes the thickness of the eye lens through contractions and relaxations

    Suspensory ligaments Strong fibres which hold the eye lens in its position
    Photoreceptors

     Two types of photorecptors


     Rod cells – sensitive to different light
    intensities including faint light but not
    sensitive to colour lights
     Cone cells – sensitive to colour lights
    under bright conditions.
     3 types off cone cells – red light , green
    light and blue light
    Mechanism of sight

    Light rays from an object


    enters the eye through the
    cornea , aqeuos humuor , eye The light ray stimulates
    lens and vitreous humuor The brain interprets the nerve
    photoreceptors to produce impulse . The small inverted
    before reaching the retina . nerve impulse that are sent to
    The parts of the eye focus image on the retina will thrn
    the brain . appear upright
    light rays from the object onto
    the retina . The object
    appears smaller and inverted
    Questions

    -Give two types of photoreceptors and explain .


    -What is the most outer part of the eye?
    - What is the difference between the blind spot and yellow spot ?
    - How many parts are there in the human eye ?
    - Explain the mechanism of the eye .
