  1. Visual Communication involves the eye registering changes in the immediate environment COMMUNICATION:HSC BIOLOGY OPTION

  2. The outer eye:

  3. CONJUNCTIVA • A thin, transparent mucous membrane that covers the sclera (the white of the eye). • It lines the inner surfaces of the eyelids. • Tiny secretory glands in the produce tear film that lubricates and protects the eye while it moves in its socket and helps to keep it clean. • It covers and protects the surface of the cornea

  4. CORNEA Transparent front window through which light enters the eyeball.

  5. SCLERA • The external layer of the eye continuous with the cornea. • The white of the eye.

  6. SCLERA • Tough, non elastic tissue protects the delicate inner layers of the eye. • It helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball. • Attachment for the external muscles of the eye which enable the eyeball to move in the socket.

  7. The inner eye:

  8. LENS - Biconcave disc Refracts light rays & focuses them on the retina.

  9. CILIARY BODY- Holds the lens in place yet allows flexible movements of the lens.Secretes the aqueous humour

  10. IRIS • Coloured part of the eye • A ring of muscle with a hole in the middle (the pupil). • Controls size of pupil & amount of light entering eye. • In dim light pupil dilates to let more light in. • In bright light the iris tightens and the pupil contracts.

  11. RETINA • The inner layer of the eye. • Contains photoreceptors for vision • Highly specialised rod & cone cells respond to light, converting light energy into nerve impulses.

  12. Aqueous & Vitreous Humour • Transparent watery fluid • Provides nutrients for the lens & cornea. • Clear jelly-like substance • Refracts light • Helps maintain the shape of the eyeball

  13. CHOROID • The middle layer of the eye which extends into the iris • A sheet of blood vessels that carries oxygen & nutrients to the eye and remove carbon dioxide and wastes • Posteriorly it is black which prevents light in the eye from scattering.

  14. OPTIC NERVE Transfers the visual signals to the brain for processing.
