HUMAN EYE
• INTERNAL
• EXTERNAL
EYE IS ONE OF THE MAJOR SENSORY ORGAN IN THE
HUMAN BODY.IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VISION COLOUR
DIFFERENTATION AND MAINTAINING THE BIOLOGICAL
CLOCK OF THE HUMAN BODY .
SCLERA:
IT IS A THICK WHITE SHEATH THAT PROTECTS INNER
THE OF THE EYE.

SCLERA
CORNEA:
IT IS A TRANSPERENT LAYER OF SKIN THAT IS SPREAD ALL
OVER THE PUPIL AND THE IRIS. THE JOB OF THE CORNEA
IS TO REFRACT THE LIGHT THAT ENTERS IT
IRIS:
IT IS A PIGMENT LAYER OF TISSUES THAT MAKES UP
THE COLOURED PORTION OF THE EYE.THE PRIMARY
WORK OF THE IRIS IS TO CONTROL THE SIZE OF THE
PUPIL DEPENDING ON THE LIGHT ENTERING IT.
PUPIL:
IT IS AN OPENING LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
IRIS.IT ALLOWS THE LIGHT TO ENTER IN.
EYE LASHES:
THEY ARE FINE HAIR GROWN ON THE EYE LID IT
PROTECTS THE EYE FROM SMALL PARTICLES SUCH
AS DUST,SAND AND DEBRIS FROM ENTERING AND
HARMING THE EYE.
EYE LID:
IT IS A THIN FOLD OF SKIN THAT PROTECTS THE EYE
FROM DUST.IT PROTECTS THE EYE FROM BRIGHT
LIGHT THAT MIGHT DAMAGE THE EYE.
RETINA:
IT IS A SCREEN AT THE END OF THE EYE WHERE ALL
THE IMAGES ARE FORMED.RETINA IS EXTREMELY
SENSITIVE TO BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF
PHOTORECEPTON WHICH ARE PHOTO SENSITIVE CELL
THAT CAN DETECT DIM AND COLOURED LIGHTS.
LENS:
THEY ARE BIOCONVEX,TRANSPERENT AND ADJUSTABL
-E STRUCTURE THAT FOCUSES LIGHT TO THE RETINA.
OPTIC NERVE:
LOCATED AT THE END OF THE EYE BEHIND THE RETINA
THE OPTIC NERVE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRING THE
IMPULSES FROM THE PHOTORECEPTON TO THE BRAIN
WITHOUT WHICH VISION WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.
