3 E YE A NATOMY http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eye_orbit_anatomy_anterior2.jpg The orbital bone The eye socket Eye is cushioned within orbit by pads of fat Lacrimal gland Produces tears http://mwsu-bio101.ning.com/forum/topics/distinct-human-celltypes-1?commentId=2263214%3AComment%3A10331

4 E YE A NATOMY Eyelids (L): Protection against particles and light Help spread tears over surface of eye- moist & comfort Eyelashes (L): Filter out foreign matter http://www.medical-look.com/human_anatomy/organs/Eyelids_and_eyelashes.html

5 E YE A NATOMY Sclera (S): “White of the eye” Tough, opaque tissue that extends around the eye Attached to the extraocular muscles http://www.thirdeyehealth.com/sclera.html

6 E YE A NATOMY Extraocular Muscles Help move the eye left, right, up, down and diagonally These 6 muscles are: Superior rectus Inferior rectus Medial rectus Lateral rectus Inferior oblique Superior oblique http://media.photobucket.com/image/introduction%20to%20eye%20anatomy/trimurtulu/Eye.jpg

7 E YE A NATOMY Cornea (K): Clear tissue infront of the Irisi Function: Focus light as it enters eye Avascular Only organ that has no blood vessels http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cornea.jpg

8 E YE A NATOMY Pupil (P): Central opening of iris Iris (I): Ring shaped tissue Colored part of eye Controls the amount of light that enters the eye Two muscle fibers: Contraction Constricts pupil in bright light Dilation Dilates pupil in dark http://www.bioconsulting.com/Bio_Tech_Assessment.html http://www.goodhope.org.uk/departments/eyedept/angleclosureetc.htm

9 E YE A NATOMY Crystalline Lens: Clear, flexible structure Behind the iris & pupil The lens & ciliary body help control fine focusing of light as it passes through the eye http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/smart-takes/artificial-lens-implant-to-give- patients-high-definition-vision-better-than-2020/2558/

10 E YE A NATOMY Vitreous Chamber: Located behind the lens & in front of the retina Filled with a gel-like fluid called the vitreous humor The vitreous help maintain the shape of the eye http://www.ophthobook.com/questions/question-how-many-chambers-are-there-in-the-eye

11 E YE A NATOMY Retina: Acts like the film in a camera to create an image hhttp://www1.appstate.edu/~kms/classes/psy3203/EyePhysio/human_retina.htm http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v13/i1/retina.asp

12 E YE A NATOMY Retina: Acts like the film in a camera to create an image Converts light signals into nerve signal then send these signals to the optic nerve Optic nerve carries the signals to the brain hhttp://www1.appstate.edu/~kms/classes/psy3203/EyePhysio/human_retina.htm http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v13/i1/retina.asp

13 E YE A NATOMY Retina: Acts like the film in a camera to create an image Converts light signals into nerve signal then send these signals to the optic nerve Optic nerve carries the signals to the brain Rods- low light situations Cones- allows you to see color hhttp://www1.appstate.edu/~kms/classes/psy3203/EyePhysio/human_retina.htm http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v13/i1/retina.asp

14 E YE A NATOMY Optic Nerve A bundle of 1 million nerve fibers Responsible for transmitting nerve signals from the eye to the brain The optic disc is the front surface of the optic nerve The optic disc is visible on the retina http://cssd.us/body.cfm?id=802 http://www.wollongong.youronlinecommunity.com.au/wollongong-online/2008/50/walkthrulife/eye- health.html

15 E YE A NATOMY Macula Located in the central part of the retina Responsible for giving sharp central vision Used for reading, recognizing faces, and watching TV http://www.dukehealth.org/eye_center/specialties/macular_degeneration/care_guides/macular_dege neration_frequently_asked_questions

16 O PTIC C HIASM The X-Shaped space infront of the pituitary gland where the optic nerves cross the brain
