HUMAN EYE

WHAT IS A HUMAN EYE?

The human eye provides us with the ability to visualize the world around us. Light enters the eye through the cornea and excites special neurons on the retina. The brain receives this information and interprets it so that we are aware of what we are seeing. The parts of the eye contribute to its proper function.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The human eye focuses on light rays. When everything is working right the light is converted to impulses and sent to the brain where it is turned into an image. WHAT ARE THE PART AND USES OF A HUMAN EYE?
Sclera-The sclera is the white, tough wall of the eye. Iris -This is the colored part of the eye: brown, green, blue, etc. Cornea-The cornea is a clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the Pupil-The pupil is the hole in the center of the iris that light passes through.

eye.

inner eyelids. Vitreous-The vitreous humor is a jelly like liquid that fills most of the eye (from the lens back) Choroid-The choroid is a layer of blood vessels between the retina and sclera; it supplies blood to the retina. Optic nerve-Each optic nerve has about 1.2 million nerve fibers. Macula-This part of the retina is the most sensitive. Retina-The retina is the film of the eye. It converts light rays into electrical signals and sends them to the brain through the optic nerve.
