Study Notes
Human Eye Structure and Function
- The cornea provides most of the light refraction, bending incoming light rays to focus images.
- The iris is a dark muscular diaphragm that controls pupil size, regulating the amount of light that enters the eye.
- The vitreous body is composed of a fibrous, jelly-like material that fills the space between the lens and the retina, maintaining eye shape.
- The pupil is the opening regulated by the iris, determining how much light reaches the retina.
- The cornea is the outermost layer of the eye, transparent, and crucial for refraction.
- The iris acts like a camera aperture, adjusting to different lighting conditions by influencing pupil size.
- The vitreous body provides a focused real and inverted image on the retina, essential for clear vision.
- The ciliary body holds the lens in place, assisting in adjusting its curvature for focusing on objects at varying distances.
