The Eye
  1. Parts Of The Eye And What Each Part Does.
    1. Iris
      1. Contains muslces that allow it to control the diameter of the Pupil and therefore how much light enters the eye.
      2. Sclera
        1. Though supporting wall of the Eye.
        2. Cornea
          1. Transpartent outer layer found at the front of the Eye. It refracts and bends the light into the Eye.
          2. Lens
            1. Focuses the light onto the Retina (which contains receptors which are sensitive to light intensity and colour).
            2. Optic Nerve
              1. Carries impulses from receptors on the Retina to the Brain
              2. Ciliary Muscles
                1. Circular ring of muscle that surrounds the Lens adjusting the diameter of the Lens.
                2. Suspensory Ligaments
                  1. Connects the Cilary Body with the Lens keeping it in place.
                  2. Pupil
                    1. The black hole in the centre of the Eye.
                    2. Retina
                      1. Contains 2 main types of light receptors which can produce colour vision.
                    3. The Iris Reflex
                      1. For a bright light it gets detected by the eye and that triggers a relfex which makes the pupil smaller. The Cirluary Muscles in the Iris contract and the Radial Muscles Relax reducing the amount fo light entering the Eye.
                        1. The opposite to the bright light occurs for a dim light but instead the Radial Muslces contract and the Circular Muscles relax making the Pupil wider.
                        2. Focusing on Near and Far objects
                          1. Near objects
                            1. The Ciliary Muscles contract which slackens the Suspensory Ligaments. This makes the Lens go fatter increasing the amount of refracted light.
                            2. Far objects
                              1. The Ciliary Muscles relax which allows the Suspensory Ligaments to pull tight. This makes the Lens go thinner making it refract light by a smaller amount.
