Eyes and Sight
These are the supporting cells of the nervous system
What are neuroglial cells
This is the colored portion of the eye that contains smooth muscle to let more or less light in.
What is the iris
Mechanoreceptors are part of this sense
What is touch
This is the fluid that fills the posterior chamber of the eye?
What is vitreous humor
These portions of the neuron transmit information away from the cell body
What are axons
This is this white part of the eye that is made of randomly arranged dense connective tissue (collagen fibers)
What is the sclera
The less receptors you have on your skin, the less "this" it is
What is sensitive
These are the glands that secrete tears
What are the lacrimal glands
This is the part of the eye that keeps the interior dark. It was reflective in the cow eye!
What is the choroid
This is the nervous tissue of the eye that contains rods and cones and is continuous with the optic nerve
What is the retina
What do tactile corpuscles detect?
What is light touch
This is where the lens changes shape to focus on images (accomplished by ciliary muscles and suspensory ligaments attached to lens)
What is accommodation
This is the lining of the inner surface of the eyelids. Can become very red and itchy when infected!
What is the conjunctiva
This is the clear "window" of the eye where light first enters
What is the cornea
What do lamellated corpuscles detect?
What is deep pressure
These sensors become inactive above 45 degrees Celcius (113 deg F)
What are warm receptors
These photoreceptors are very sensitive and work best in dim light
