RECEPTOR
THE HUMAN EYE
2
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE
state the function of the different parts of the eye
describe how a focused image of near and distant object is produced on the retina
describe the pupil reflex in response to bright and dim light
3
LOCATION
In sockets (orbits) of skull moved by six muscles
optic nerve connects it to brain
4
PROTECTION
tear gland produces tears. Tears contain lysozyme which kills bacteria.
blinking protects eye from injury
5
6
Sclerotic layer thick wall (the 'white' of the eye) protective layer around eyeball Fn: Provides protection against mechanical
injury
Cornea ‑ transparent allows light
to enter Fn: bends (refracts) light
into pupil towards lens
7
Choroid layer Fn: pigmented black, absorbs light so as to
prevent reflection within the eye contains network of blood capillaries which
brings nutrients to the eye and also removes metabolic wastes.
8
Ciliary body Fn: contains ciliary muscles which alters the
shape of lens ‑ muscles attached to lens by suspensory
ligaments
Iris consists of 2 sets of muscles:
radial muscle and circular muscle-these two muscles work in opposite ways
Fn: Controls the amount of light falling on the retina.
9
How muscles of iris work?
When muscles contract, they become shorter.
Therefore, when radial muscles contract, they pull together and become shorter.
Therefore the size of the pupil widens or dilates.
When circular muscles contract, the circumference becomes smaller. This causes the size of pupil to be smaller or constrict.
10
Eye in Dim Light
Radial muscles contract, become short, pupil enlarges or dilates.
Circular muscles relax, becomes longer, circumference becomes bigger, pupil enlarges or dilates.
Did you notice the muscles work in opposite ways, ie. radial contract, circular relax.
11
Eye in Bright Light
Radial muscles relax, become longer, pupil enlarges or dilates.
Circular muscles contract, becomes short, circumference becomes smaller, pupil constricts.
Did you notice the muscles work in opposite ways, ie. radial relax, circular contract.
12
Animation on size of pupil
Notice the size of the pupil before and after shining the pen-light.
This formula will help you:IN BRIGHT LIGHT = 3CCircular muscles Contract, pupil Constricts

13
Lens ‑ transparent, elastic and biconvex Attached to suspensory ligament The stretching of the suspensory ligaments causes it
to change shape. When looking at far objects, the lens becomes thin or
less convex. When looking at near objects, the lens becomes fat,
more convex. Fn: bends light rays and brings them to a focus on
retina
14
Retina
light sensitive layer, contains photoreceptors (light receptors)
Fn: when stimulated by light from the image, convert the light energy into electrical impulse.
photoreceptor cells connected to optic nerve which carries sensory impulses to brain
15
Yellow Spot ‑ central part of retina ‑ Images normally focused on this spot - high concentration of photoreceptor cells ----
precise visionBlind Spot
‑ part of retina where optic nerve is attached ‑ no photoreceptor cells present here ‑ images falling here is not registered
16
HOW DOES THE EYE WORK
Light falling on an object is reflected. Some of these light rays falls on the eye The light rays are refracted through the
cornea and aqueous humour onto the lens The lens bends the rays and cause it to focus
on the retina. Photoreceptors in retina stimulated. Impulse produced and transmitted via optic
nerve to brain
17
ACCOMMODATION adjustment of the lens so that clear images of
objects at different distances are focused on the retina
18
Near Objects
ciliary muscles contract
tension on suspensory ligament slacken
lens more convex ie.short and fat
light rays bent (refracted) more
Image on retina
Near object focused on retina
19
Can you write down the steps when looking at far objects?

PUPIL REFLEX
immediate response of the eye in controlling the size of the pupil due to changing lighting conditions.
http://www.bioplek.org/animaties/zenuwstelsel/pupilreflex.html
21
HOW THE PUPIL REFLEX WORKS Light enters pupil and falls on retina Photoreceptors stimulated Impulse produced Impulse carrying information about lighting condition (dim or
bright) is transmitted along sensory neurone in optic nerve Impulse reaches brain Transferred to relay neurone and then Motor neurone Motor impulse carried from brain to muscles of iris If dim light, circular muscles relax and radial muscles contract --
pupil dilates If bright light, circular muscles contract and radial muscles relax
pupil constrict
22
The value of having TWO eyes
Two eyes view the same object from two different positions.
This provides vision in 3-Dimensions, the ability to judge distance.
Survival value
