Biology 12 Nervous System THE HUMAN EYE
2
EYE The eye is an extension of the brain. It helps us take in light information from our surroundings. https://www.yo utube.com/watc h?v=gvozcv8pS3 c

Can you see: The optic nerve bundle? Spinal cord? EYE BRAIN PROXIMITY PROXIMITY
4
WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF THE EYE?
5
Transparent membrane that covers iris and pupil. Focuses light on the retina. CORNEA
6
Pupil – Black hole in iris where the light enters the eye. Iris - Colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil. Sclera - “whites” of the eye that forms outer covering, providing support and attachment for muscles. PUPIL, IRIS, SCLERA
7
Aqueous Humor - Nutritious fluid between the iris and the cornea. As we age, it breaks down and we begin to see “floaters” Ciliary Muscles - Produces aqueous humor and controls lens shape. Lens - Bends light rays to the back of the eye (retina). Allows us to see objects near and far. AQUEOUS HUMOR, CILIARY MUSCLE, LENS
8
Full of light receptors which are sensitive to: Cones - Colour Rods- Light levels Massive blood supply is also needed Internal membrane RETINA Blind Spot - site of optic nerve connection
9
Vitreous Humor -Transparent jelly-like fluid that fills the eye and refracts light Optic Nerve - Sends messages picked up by retina to the brain Blind Spot - Area where optic nerve attaches. No retina is located there so information cannot be picked up. No rod or cone cells. VITREOUS HUMOR, BLIND SPOT, OPTIC NERVE
10
Choroid Layer - Lies between the sclera and the retina it provides the blood supply to the eye. Tapetum Lucidum - Iridescent film under the retina that provides animals with “night vision” CHOROID LAYER, TAPETUM LUCIDUM
