Like These! What do they look like?
General Description of Eye • The Eye is a golf ball sized organ that allows you to see. • The Eye is composed of many parts including the lens, iris, sclera, retina, conjunctiva, pupil, and vitreous humor. • The average human is born with two eyes. • The Iris is the colorful part of the eye. People may say that you have different colored eyes but you actually have different colored irises!
General Description of the functions of the eye • The eye is equipped with nerves that help protect it such as the eyelid (Blinking). • The eye is essentially a light absorbing organ that uses light to transform that into vision. • Lens take in the light and focuses onto the retina. The retina then turns the light into nerve signals that are sent to the brain to be interpreted.
Do I need them? • Yes, you do need something to filter your blood. • Kidneys are NOT vestigial organs. • You CAN survive with just 1 kidney. • Kidneys can fail when diseases damage the nephrons or anything hampering the blood filtering capabilities of them. • Kidneys are important because they keep blood clean and chemicals balanced.
