Study Notes

Eyes in Living Organisms

  • Eyes are present in higher organisms to detect light, allowing them to perceive their surroundings and respond to stimuli.

Diaphragm Function

  • In higher organisms, the diaphragm in the eye acts as an aperture, controlling the amount of light that enters the eye.

Optic Nerve

  • The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain, enabling the interpretation of visual stimuli.

Animal Species with Complex Optical Systems

  • Approximately 96% of animal species possess a complex optical system.

Image-Resolving Eyes

  • Image-resolving eyes are present in vertebrates, cephalopods (squids and octopuses), and some invertebrates, such as arthropods (insects, spiders, and crustaceans).
