The Human EyeFebruary 5, 2013 Expected Performance: (B.21) Describe the structure and function of the human eye.
Eye Lesson Directions • Use the rubric to create an eye diagram. Be sure to label and give the functions of each term listed. • You are aloud to use your science textbook and the computer to help you with this task. • We will view the remainder of the power point to gain extra clarity on all the parts of the eye. • We will take an eye assessment on the computer to assess our understanding.
Cornea • The transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and the pupil. • The cornea refracts light and helps focus on objects!
Iris • The iris is a ring of muscle that contracts and expands to control the size of the pupil. • Controls the amount of light reaching the retina • Colored part of the eye
Pupil • An opening by which light enters the inside of the eye (retina) • Appears black because most of the light entering the eye is absorbed by the tissue inside the pupil • The pupil gets wider in the dark but narrower in light.
Lens • A transparent structure in the eye used to refract light to be focused on the retina
Retina • The retina is a light sensitive tissue lining the inner surface of the eye • The retina has two kinds of cells that detect light • Rods • Dim light • Cones • Red, Green, and Blue light
Optic Nerve Eye • Receives the signals from the Retina’s rods and cones • The optic nerve, also called cranial nerve II, transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. Brain
Post Lesson Assessment • http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/anatomy/eye/label/labeleye.shtml • Go to the above cite and take the quiz using the vocabulary supplied in the box • After you do the best you can, check your answers!
