Eyes By Amelia
2
Everything your eyes see then travels to your brain!
Take a quick look because this is your eye! Been cut in half!
3
The Ciliary Body The ciliary body is a ring-shaped thick piece of tissue inside the eye and shaped a bit like a triangle. It includes ciliary muscle which controls distances, It changes the shape of the lens in the eye.
4
The Iris The Iris is the coloured part of your eye that surrounds the black dot in the middle called the pupil. It is full of tiny smooth muscle fibres that you would never see by looking at someone's eye. Its placing is in-between the Cornea and the transparent Crystalline lens .
5
The Pupil The pupil is the black dot located in the middle of the Iris/coloured part. It allows the light to strike the retina which is a layer of tissue. From there the information goes straight to the brain via the optic nerve and many other places.
6
The Anterior Chamber The Anterior Chamber guards the fluid-filled space inside the eye it is known as the AC. Mixed with the fluid is also normal blood. The aqueous humor is the fluid that fills the space, like the fluid in your ear but instead of it keeping your balance it keeps your focus!
7
The Cornea The Cornea is the transparent layer that goes over your eyes to keep the eye safe by protecting the inner eye with a layer that is called the cornea, it is mainly to protect the eyes from bright light and the many infections that you can get. It is the layer over the iris and the pupil.
8
Don’t get mixed up with a camera lens!
The Lens Like the Cornea the Lens is transparent, it works with the retina to focus on light, objects and pretty much everything you can see. The main thing it does is focus.
9
The Ora Serrata These funny looking eyes show were the retina and the Ora Serrata connect. The Ora Serrata connects the junction between the retina and the Ciliary Body.
10
Can you see how it goes straight to the pupil?
The Rectus Medialis Its job is to bring the pupil closer to the middle of the eye itself. Can you see how it goes straight to the pupil?
11
The Vein It is a short vein that works with artery, together they run threw the optic nerve to the brain.
12
The Information coming at the speed of light hits the retina, then goes up a bit to the Optic Nerve. Since the Optic nerve is connected directly to the brain it transmits everything unless you have an illness that stops it from doing so. The Optic Nerve Finally, well I mean one of those nano second kind of finally, anyway finally it reaches the brain, but it doesn't stop there! After reaching the brain it travels even further to practically the back of your head, ok maybe I'm over exaggerating just a we bit but it does travel to the back of your brain just like in this picture!
13
The Artery Arteries are also known as red branches. As signals come through your eye your arteries carry the signals through the optic nerve to the brain. This happens because the branches go just above the retina and that is where most signals have to pass to get to the brain. But again this all happens at the speed of light!
14
The Vitreous Have you ever wondered how your eye maintains its shape and all sticks together so well, I haven’t but when I started to research about it that’s when it became kind of interesting. The Vitreous is a kind of gel that helps all of these different parts to stick together and that is also the main reason the eye is so round. (there isn’t a picture that would work with this slide so I hope I explained this alright!)
15
The Macula The Macula is the middle part of the retina, just remember that the macula is the light sensitive tissue that makes a line inside of the eye. It gives the best colour vision possible!
16
The Retina The retina is a layer of tissue that lives at the back of your eye, and it has light-sensitive cells called rods and cones. All light signals coming through the eye hit the retina before it runs to the Optic nerve.
17
The Sclera The Sclera to me is easier to remember as the white bit of your eye. When you get to around 60 or 70 the white will sometimes turn slightly yellow, but that is very common and nothing to worry about. All the sclera does is protect the iris. And that is pretty much it.
18
You learn something new every day!
Thanks For Watching! You learn something new every day! If your Sclera's turn yellow what age would you be most likely to do so A: 20 B: 40 C: 60 One Question!
