The Sense of Sight By: Peter Geraci

The Sense of Sight - Vision  The sense of sight works through the eyes. The eyes are like a human camera.  The eyes, like a camera, has a lens, an adjustable opening called the pupil, a dark chamber, and a screen, called the retina.  It constantly adjusts itself to take and develop an endless stream of pictures at an amazing speed that is too fast for anyone to imagine.  The eyes report the size, shape, color, position, and movement of objects.  The sense of sight works through the eyes.

Parts of the Eye  The eye is remarkable for its ability to take countless pictures at various distances in rapid succession, and like a camera, it records its image upside down. However, the brain corrects this to make the image right side up.

The Brain and Vision  In the back of the eyeball, when light passes through the pupil, there is a thin layer of rods and cone cells that make up the retina.  The retina also contains nerve cells that signal messages to the optic nerve when hit with light.  The optic nerve then transmits the message to the brain, which allows you to see the image your eyes are perceiving.  Due to the fact that the eyes are a small distance apart, the report slightly different images.  In the back of the eyeball, when light passes through the pupil, there is a thin layer of rods and cone cells that make up the retina.  The retina also contains nerve cells that signal messages to the optic nerve when hit with light.  The optic nerve then transmits the message to the brain, which allows you to see the image your eyes are perceiving.  Due to the fact that the eyes are a small distance apart, the report slightly different images.

Rods and Cones  Rods and cones seem to function in the same way. Both have a special pigment or color at their tips.  Cones react to color and bright light. This is the reason why we cannot see colors when the light is poor.  Rods work well in dim light. That is why we are able to see a little at night.  Rods and cones seem to function in the same way.

Vision Conclusion  As we can see, the sense of sight is a remarkable and very important sense.  Without our eyes, we would not be able to see all the beauty the world has to offer.  Our eyes are our windows to the world. Through them, you learn everything you need to know. Our eyes through the sense of sight, enhance the other senses and allow us to appreciate all that there is around us.  As we can see, the sense of sight is a remarkable and very important sense.  Without our eyes, we would not be able to see all the beauty the world has to offer.  Our eyes are our windows to the world.
