Eye Anatomy
This is the scientific name for the white part of the eyeball.
What is the sclera?
Thi part of the eye allow the eye to contract and our vision to focus at different distances.
What are ciliary body ?
What are Photoreceptors?
This is the name of the hole (in the middle of the iris) that opens and closes depending on the light conditions.
What is Pupil?
These structures shade our eyes from the sun, and protect them from dirt and debris.
What are eylashes?
This is the name of the nerve emerging from the back of each eyeball and extends onto the inferior part of your brain for processing (think of integrations)
What is Optic Nerve?
Your Superior Oblique works with the super rectus to move the eye in what direction?
What is the up and around in a 180 degree position?
This is the blood vessel rich, middle layer of the eye.
What is the choroid?
This part of the eye contains a small depression in the retina (above the optic disc and nerve) that cause light sensitivity and lack of photoreceptors
What is the Fovea Centralis ?
This is the name of the crossing of the optic nerve fibers in the brain that extends to the back of the eye back. (Think of the Anatomy of the Brain)
What is the Optic Chiasma?
What is your Trochlea ?
What is one of your eye muscles that act as a pulley for the Superior Oblique
This structure is responsible for producing tears.
What is the lacrimal gland?
This is the eye that opens and closes the pupil depending on light conditions and is the source to the color of your eyes.
What is the iris?
This is the lobe of the brain that is involved in processing visual information from the eyes. (Think of your 4 lobes!)
What is the Occipital Lobe?
This is an eye condition in which the normally clear and pliable lens becomes cloudy and stiff, producing blurry vision.
What is a cataract?
This is the name of the layer of clear sclera tissue covering the front of the eye and works with the lens to bend light over to the retina
What is the cornea?
This is the biconvex, crystal-like, clear structure which can change shape to focus light precisely onto the eye and allow us to SEE.
What is the lens?
Light waves or electromagnetic waves are use in a form of wavelength to help us to see and determine color. these ECTROMAGNETIC waves once impacted by the retina will activate ACTION POTENTIONAL in a form of depolarization or repolarization ?
What is the DEPOLARIZATION?
Name all of your Special Senses.
What is Vision, Hearing, Taste, Smell and Touch.
