Study Notes

Eye Structure and Function

Iris: The colored part of the eye, controlling the amount of light entering. It opens and closes around the pupil.
Pupil: The central opening in the iris, allowing light to enter the eye.
Lens: A structure that focuses light rays.
Retina: Converts light signals into electrical signals, transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
Optic Nerve: Carries electrical signals from the retina to the brain, creating a blind spot due to the lack of light-sensitive cells at its connection point to the eye.
Eye Muscles (Ciliary Muscles): Adjust the shape of the lens, enabling the eye to focus on near and far objects.
Cornea: A transparent outer layer that refracts light, focusing it more than the lens.
