STEP 4: Study the illustration of the parts of the human eye below. Identify the
functions.
Sclera- The sclera functions as the supporting wall of the eyeball. It helps maintain
your eyeball's shape, and protects it from injury.
Lacrimal caruncle- It secretes lacrimal fluid (tear fluid), a watery fluid isotonic to
plasma, onto the surface of the eyeball. This fluid forms the aqueous portion of a
multilayered tear film that lubricates, protects and provides nutrients to the
conjunctiva and cornea.
Pupil- Your pupil lets light into your eye as the muscles of your iris change its shape.
Pupillary Region- The pupillary light reflex constricts the pupil in response to light, and
pupillary constriction is achieved through the innervation of the iris sphincter muscle.
Ciliary Region- 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.
Lower Eyelid- The lower eyelid retractors serve to depress the eyelid in downgaze, and
maintain the upright position of the tarsal plate.
Iris- The iris controlling your pupil helps your eyes see clearly. The iris is constantly
changing how dilated your pupil is without you controlling it. This is called the
pupillary light reflex.
Stroma- Stroma. Beneath Bowman's layer is the stroma, which comprises about
90 percent of the cornea's thickness.
Pigmented Epithelium- The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a single layer of
post-mitotic cells, which functions both as a selective barrier to and a vegetative
regulator of the overlying photoreceptor layer, thereby playing a key role in its
maintenance.
STEP 5: Give five good practices in taking care of your eye and five practices that destroy
your eye sight that you should avoid.
Good Practices
Eat a healthy foods
Have enough sleep
Avoid too much exposure to radiation
Take a vitamins for the eye
Put an eye drop to cleanse your eye
Practices that destroy
Too much exposure
Not having enough sleep
Overusing eye drop
Misusing eye make up
Exposure to hazardous chemical
