Human Eye - Definition,

Diagram, Structure, Part
and Functions
The eyes are an incredible and one of the most
important organs of the body which reacts to light
and helps in seeing things around us. In
NCERT solutions for class 8 science, students can
read more about the human eye structure, function,
and diagram in class 8 science chapter 16 light.

Definition of the Human eye

We de"ne the human eye as the sense organ of vision.
From the de"nition of the human eye, we understand that
it is an organ that helps us to view our surroundings.
Therefore, we can say that the human eye is a vital part of
our body.

Structure of Human eye

The structure of the human eye is rather complex.
Therefore, we will only learn about some important parts
of the human eye. These parts of the human eye are the
cornea, iris and pupil, eye lens, ciliary muscles, retina, and
optic nerves.

These parts of the human eye have roles to play in the

journey of light through the human eye.

The covering of the human eye is transparent. It is known

as the cornea. When light enters the human eye from the
cornea, it passes through a muscular structure called the
iris.

It has a hole at the center called the pupil. The iris changes
the size of the pupil by expanding or contracting it. Thus, it
can change the amount of light that passes through the
human eye.

The eye-lens of the human eye focus the light on the

retina. A human eye can easily see a faraway object as well
as the object, kept very close to the eye.

This becomes possible due to the ciliary muscles, which

control the focal length of the eye-lens by stretching or
contracting it. The optic nerves connected to the retina
carry the information to the brain and we see the objects
as they are.
The given human eye diagram shows the structure of the
human eye. With the help of the human eye diagram, we
can understand the functions of the human eye better.

Working of Human eye

Let’s understand the working of the human eye. The light
of the object falls on the human eye and enters through the
cornea. The light passes through the eye-lens, which
focuses it on the retina of the human eye.

The retina forms an image on the retina, which is real and

inverted.

Therefore, a real and inverted image is formed on the

retina of the human eye. Do you wonder why we don’t see
the object inverted? Well, it is the brain, which helps us to
see the object as it is.

The optic nerves connected to the retina carry the signals

to the brain.

Now, the brain receives the signals, interprets them and

we see the object. This is the working of the human eye.

The functions of the human eye are similar to that of a

camera due to the presence of the eye lens and the retina,
which acts as a screen.
