The eye is connected to the brain via the optic nerve. Images are interpreted by the occipital lobe
Neuron Interneurons carry the message along the optic nerve to the brain.
cornea * Cornea - lets light in (clear) * Aqueous Humor - fluid filled chamber aqueous humor
Middle layer that contains blood vessels * iris - colored portion of eye * pupil - opening through which light enters * lens - focuses light rays * vitreous humor - jellylike fluid, gives round shape
