Flashcards

What is the cornea?

The transparent, dome-shaped front layer of the eye that helps focus light as it enters.

What is the iris?

The colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil, regulating how much light enters.

What is the pupil?

The black circular opening in the center of the iris that allows light into the eye.

What does the lens do?

Located behind the pupil, it is the lens that helps to focus light onto the retina. It changes shape to adjust focus for objects at different distances.

Study Notes

Eye Structure and Function

The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped front layer of the eye, focusing incoming light.
The iris is the colored part of the eye, controlling the pupil's size to regulate light.
The pupil is the dark opening in the center of the iris, controlling light entry based on light conditions.
The lens, situated behind the pupil, focuses light onto the retina. It changes shape to adjust focus for objects at varying distances.
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. It contains photoreceptor cells, including rods for vision in low light and cones for color vision and detailed vision in bright light.
