List down the structures of the eyes according to the Outer , Middle and Inner
Layers of the Eyeball, use the pattern below or show it using the table below
LAYER EYE STRUCTURES FUNCTION
Outer Sclera The sclera functions as the supporting wall of the eyeball. It helps maintain your eyeball's shape, and protects it from injury Cornea The cornea acts as the eye's outermost lens. It functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye. Middle Choroid The choroid supplies the outer retina with nutrients, and maintains the temperature and volume of the eye. Ciliary body The ciliary body is found behind the iris and includes the ring-shaped muscle that changes the shape of the lens when the eye focuses. It also makes the clear fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the iris Iris The colored part of the eye which helps regulate the amount of light entering the eye. When there is bright light, the iris closes the pupil to let in less light. And when there is low light, the iris opens up the pupil to let in more light. Focuses light rays onto the retina. Inner Retina The retina is a layer of photoreceptors cells and glial cells within the eye that captures incoming photons and transmits them along neuronal pathways as both electrical and chemical signals for the brain to perceive a visual picture. Photo receptors
1. The most basic and crucial
1. Rods function of photoreceptors is to perceive light, which is the function of rods.
2. Cones 2. They respond differently to
light of different wavelengths, and are thus responsible for color vision, and function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells, which work better in dim light.
