Study Notes
Structure and Function of the Eye
- The iris is responsible for controlling the amount of light that enters the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil.
- The lens changes shape to focus light on the retina, allowing the eye to focus on objects at varying distances.
- The retina, specifically the photoreceptors (rods and cones), is responsible for converting light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, enabling vision.
- The iris is also responsible for controlling the size of the pupil, regulating the amount of light that enters the eye.
- The optic nerve transmits the electrical signals from the retina to the brain, where they are interpreted as visual information.
- The cones in the retina are responsible for color vision, allowing the eye to perceive a wide range of colors and details.
