Study Notes
Eye Anatomy
- The eyeball is approximately 2.5 cm in diameter.
- The fibrous tunic is composed of the sclera and cornea.
- The vascular tunic is composed of the choroid, ciliary body, and iris.
- The retina is the innermost layer of the eye.
- The choroid is the middle layer of the eye.
- The optic nerve carries visual information to the brain.
- The lens is a biconvex structure that focuses light onto the retina.
- The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris that controls the amount of light entering the eye.
- The iris regulates the size of the pupil.
- The ciliary body adjusts the shape of the lens for near or far vision.
- Light enters the eye through the cornea and pupil.
- The lens focuses the light onto the retina, where specialized cells convert the light into nerve signals.
- The optic nerve transmits these signals to the brain.
- Light from the pupil passes through the cornea to the lens.
- The lens focuses the light.
- The light is focused on the retina which converts the light into nerve signals.
- The optic nerve carries the nerve signals to the brain.
