THE STRUCTURE OF THE

EYE!
MADE BY MOHAMMAD FAWAD ASMATY
CLASS 8A
THE BASIC PARTS
OF AN HUMANE
EYE.
1. Ciliary fibers

2. Iris

3. Cornea

4. Lens

5. Aquesous humor

6. Vitreous humor

7. Fovea

8. Disk

9. Retina

10. Sclera
11. Optic nerve
 THE CORNEA AND LENS
OF AN EYE ACT
TOGETHER TO FORM A
REAL IMAGE ON THE
LIGHT-SENSING RETINA,
WHICH HAS ITS DENSEST
CONCENTRATION OF
RECEPTORS IN THE
FOVEA AND A BLIND
SPOT OVER THE OPTIC
NERVE. THE POWER OF
THE LENS OF AN EYE IS
ADJUSTABLE TO PROVIDE
AN IMAGE ON THE
RETINA FOR VARYING
OBJECT DISTANCES.
CORNEA : IT IS THE TRANSPARENT
SPHERICAL MEMBRANE COVERING THE
FRONT OF THE EYE. IRIS : IT IS THE
COLOURED DIAPHRAGM BETWEEN THE
CORNEA AND LENS. PUPIL : IT IS THE
SMALL HOLE IN THE IRIS. EYE LENS : IT IS
A TRANSPARENT LENS MADE OF JELLY
LIKE MATERIAL.
THE LENS IS A CURVED STRUCTURE IN THE EYE
THAT THAT BENDS LIGHT AND FOCUSES IT FOR
THE RETINA TO HELP YOU SEE IMAGES CLEARLY.
THE LENS IS A
CURVED STRUCTURE
IN THE EYE THAT
THAT BENDS LIGHT
AND FOCUSES IT FOR
THE RETINA TO HELP
YOU SEE IMAGES
CLEARLY.AND IT THE
PUPIL CAN CHANGE
SIZE TO CONTROL
THE AMOUNT OF
LIGHT PASSING INTO
THE EYE.
 WHAT DOES THE RETINA DO? THE
RETINA CAPTURES THE LIGHT THAT
ENTERS YOUR EYE AND HELPS
TRANSLATE IT INTO THE IMAGES YOU
SEE. LIGHT PASSES THROUGH THE
LENS AT THE FRONT OF YOUR EYE
AND HITS THE RETINA.
PHOTORECEPTORS — CELLS INSIDE
YOUR RETINA THAT REACT TO LIGHT
— CHANGE LIGHT ENERGY INTO AN
ELECTRICAL SIGNAL.
THE OPTIC NERVE IS CRITICAL TO YOUR VISION.
IT'S AN EXTENSION OF YOUR CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM, WHICH INCLUDES YOUR BRAIN AND
SPINE. THE OPTIC NERVE TRANSMITS ELECTRICAL
IMPULSES FROM YOUR EYES TO YOUR BRAIN.
 FUN AND
INTRETING
FACTS
1. "I SPY" CAMERA: YOUR EYE IS LIKE A
BIOLOGICAL CAMERA THAT CAPTURES
IMAGES AND SENDS THEM TO YOUR BRAIN
FOR PROCESSING. BUT UNLIKE A CAMERA,
IT NEVER NEEDS A MEMORY CARD OR
BATTERY REPLACEMENT!
2. BLINKING MARVEL: ON AVERAGE, YOU
BLINK ABOUT 15-20 TIMES PER MINUTE.
THAT'S OVER 1,200 TIMES AN HOUR!
BLINKING KEEPS YOUR EYES MOIST AND
REMOVES TINY PARTICLES, ALMOST LIKE A
WINDSHIELD WIPER.
3. EYE MUSCLES: DID YOU KNOW THAT
YOUR EYES HAVE THE FASTEST MUSCLES IN
YOUR BODY? THEY CAN MOVE SO QUICKLY
THAT YOU CAN READ UP TO 1,000 WORDS
PER MINUTE.
4. NIGHT VISION MODE: YOUR EYES ADJUST
TO DARKNESS IN ABOUT 30-45 MINUTES,
BECOMING UP TO 100,000 TIMES MORE
SENSITIVE TO LIGHT. IT'S LIKE YOUR EYES
SWITCH TO "NIGHT VISION MODE."
5. EMOTIONAL TEARS: CRYING ISN'T JUST
ABOUT EMOTIONS; IT'S ALSO PHYSICS!
EMOTIONAL TEARS CONTAIN DIFFERENT
PROTEINS AND HORMONES THAN REFLEX
TEARS (FROM, SAY, CUTTING ONIONS), AND
THEY HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
COMPOSITION.
6. THE SIZE OF YOUR PUPIL: YOUR PUPILS
CAN CHANGE IN SIZE NOT JUST DUE TO
LIGHT BUT ALSO BASED ON YOUR
EMOTIONS, INTEREST, OR ATTRACTION. SO,
YOUR EYES MAY REVEAL MORE ABOUT
YOUR FEELINGS THAN YOU THINK!
7. COLOR ILLUSION: THE COLOR YOU SEE
AN OBJECT DEPENDS ON THE LIGHT IT
REFLECTS. SOME ANIMALS SEE DIFFERENT
COLORS THAN HUMANS BECAUSE THEIR
EYES PERCEIVE A BROADER RANGE OF THE
ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.
