CHAPTER 14
Slide 2:Overview of the Eye
Eye acts much like a camera Lens of eye adjusts to bring object into focus Pupil of eye constricts to allow less light to enter in bright setting or dilates to allow more light to enter in darker setting Through bending of light rays, image reaches retina Sensitive nerve cell layer of eye Image is transmitted to brain for interpretation
Slide 3:Sclera White portion of eye Tough, fibrous membrane Maintains shape of eyeball Serves as protective covering for eye Iris Colored portion of eye Pupil Opening in center of eye Controls amount of light entering eye
