Eye structure & function 6 December 2016

Do Now Which fact is false? Your eye muscles are the most active muscles in your body. Newborns don’t produce tears Corneal scratches heal in about 48 hours. If you sit too close to a TV , computer, or tablet, you will damage your eyes.

External Eye & Accessory Structures Lacrimal refers to tears. Tears cleanse and lubricate the eyes, and also fight bacteria.

External Eye & Accessory Structures The lacrimal ducts empty into the nasal cavity this is why nose and eye irritation is often linked. you get the sniffles if cry and you get watery eyes if congested

External Eye & Accessory Structures Conjunctiva are the membranes the line the eyelid and eyeball. Conjunctivitis is inflammation of these membranes, caused by irritants, allergies, or infection (e.g. “pink eye”).

Extrinsic eye muscles Control movement of the eyes. Locations and functions can be reasoned out! Remember: rectus = straight, oblique = slanting Name Action Lateral rectus Medial rectus Superior rectus Inferior rectus Inferior oblique Superior oblique

Extrinsic eye muscles Control movement of the eyes. Locations and functions can be reasoned out! Remember: rectus = straight, oblique = slanting Name Action Lateral rectus Moves eye laterally Medial rectus Moves eye medially Superior rectus Moves eye up Inferior rectus Moves eye down Inferior oblique Moves eye up and laterally Superior oblique Moves eye down and laterally

Eyeball The eye has three tunics, or coats. Sclera – “whites of the eye” , outermost, thick connective tissue. Choroid – has blood vessels, middle layer Retina – contains the photoreceptors (rods & cones), inner layer

Eyeball The eye is divided into two fluid-filled chambers: The anterior chamber is filled with aqueous humor The posterior chamber is filled with vitreous humor Both fluids maintain eye pressure, and the aqueous humor nourishes the cornea and lens. Glaucoma occurs when the aqueous humor doesn’t drain properly, resulting in increased eye pressure and blindness. Glaucoma is a common cause of blindness among the elderly. It can be corrected with eye drops that help drain the aqueous humor or with surgery to enlarge the canal Schlemm.

Pathway of light Light enters the eye at the cornea – a clear, hard part of the sclera. Functions: protects eye and focuses light Fun fact: the cornea is responsible for ~70% of the eye’s focusing ability Fun facts: cornea heals remarkably well, and can be transplanted without any rejection since it is avascular Protects from both mechanical stress and UV light

Pathway of light Light passes through the pupil which is the opening in front of the lens. The size of the pupil is controlled by the muscles of the iris (the colored part of the eye). The pupil dilates or contracts to vary the amount of light hitting the retina.

Pathway of light The light passes through the lens, which focuses the light onto the retina. The ciliary body are muscles which change the shape of the lens to focus on nearby items, a process called accomodation. More on focusing later

Pathway of light 4. The light passes through the vitreous humor to land on the retina, which contains the photoreceptors. There are no photoreceptors on the optic disc, which is where the optic nerve exits the eye – this causes a small blind spot. More on focusing later

Photoreceptors Rods Cones more abundant sensitive to low levels of light do not discriminate colors Cones 3 types, each sensitive to a different wavelengths triggering of more than one cone is interpreted by brain as different colors e.g. if both red and green are activated, the brain will interpret the light as yellow or orange greater resolution than cones Responsible for night and peripheral vision – that’s why colors seem to be lost in the dark Watch me! More on focusing later Responsible for color and fine detail vision – including reading

Color Blindness Color blindness is usually caused by the absence of one or more cones. Occurs in ~5% of population X-linked trait … much more common in men More on focusing later

Refraction & Accomodation Light is bent – or refracted – by nearly every eye structure that it passes through on the way to the retina. However the lens is the only structure that can vary how much the light is bent in order to allow us to focus on different objects – a process called accomodation. At rest, our eyes naturally focus on far-away objects. However, by contracting the ciliary body muscles, we can make the lens bulge so that it has greater refractive ability – allowing us to focus on close items. As we get older, our lens loses elasticity – making it harder to focus on nearby items. This condition is called presbyopia (old eyes) More on focusing later

Fun fact: Refraction flips and reverses the light rays, forming an upside down and reversed image on the retina … but the brain learns to interpret visual information correctly. More on focusing later Watch me!

Closure What were our objectives, and what did you learn about them. What was our learner profile trait and how did we exemplify it? How does what we did today address our unit question?

Exit Ticket Nine children attending the same day-care center developed red, inflamed eyes and eye lids. What is the most likely cause and name of this condition? Name two structures that help us to see in low light conditions. Why do you often have to blow your nose after crying? Name 4 substances that refract light? Which refracts light the most? Which is responsible for accomodation? More on focusing later
