objects. This light passes through the Pupil
A and is focused by the lens.
G
The light is focused onto the Retina which
contains light sensitive cells called Rods
and Cones.
F
These cells convert the light they receive into
electrical messages that are then passed to
the brain via the Optic Nerve.
The brain converts these electrical
messages or nerve impulses into the Image
that we see.
