Sensory System
1B3 Sensory System OB30locate the main parts of the eye on a model or diagram and describe the function of the cornea, iris, lens, pupil, retina, optic nerve and ciliary muscle
front view of the eye “white” iris pupil
Internet diagram
Inside of the eye pupil iris lens optic nerve retina Ciliary muscle cornea
light rays the cornea allows light to enter the eye, and refracts (bends) the rays
the lens focuses light rays to form a clear image on the retina, where sensory cells detect the image
the iris contracts and relaxes in response to light conditions… …this changes the size of the pupil, controlling the amount of light entering the eye…
the optic nerve brings a message to the brain about what we see
side view lens ciliary muscle lenslens front view the function of the ciliary muscle is to contract and relax to change the shape of the lens
