Answers
into the eye.
3. Choroid
Choroid is the second layer of eye which is present between sclera and retina. It is opaque and tough.
4. Iris
Iris is an opaque, dark and muscular diaphragm which is present behind the cornea. There is a hole in the middle of the iris which is called ‘pupil’. The pupil appears black and its size is controlled by the iris. Thus the main function of iris in the eye is to regulate the amount of light entering the eye through pupil by controlling the size of pupil. If the light is bright then the pupil contracts so that less light can enter the eye. On the other hand, if the light is dim then the pupil expands so that more light can enter the eye.
5. Eye lens
The eye lens is an elastic, transparent and biconvex structure. It is present behind the iris. It is held in its position by means of cilliary muscles. The focal length of the eye lens can be changed by stretching or relaxation of cilliary muscles. Thus cilliary muscles help the eye in changing the focal length of eye lens so that the eye can observe both the nearby and distant objects. The ability of the eye to see the distant objects as well as the nearby objects by changing the focal length of eye lens is called accommodation.
6. Aqueous chamber
The space between the cornea and eye lens is called aqueous chamber. It is filled with a viscous and watery fluid called aqueous humour.
7. Vitreous chamber
The space between eye lens and retina is called vitreous chamber. It is filled with a transparent, gelatinous material called vitreous humour.
8. Retina
Retina is third and innermost light sensitive layer of eye on which the image is formed. Retina contains a large number of light sensitive cells called ‘rod cells’ and ‘cone cells’. The rod cells respond to the intensity of light, while the cone cells respond to the colours present in the light. The cone cells present in the retina are of 3 types:
1. Red sensitive
2. Blue sensitive and
3. Green sensitive.
Actually when an image formed on retina, the rod cells and the cone cells get stimulated and send the information in the form of electrical signals to the brain through the optic nerve and give rise to the sensation of vision. The area of retina where image is formed is called yellow spot. On the other hand, the area of retina over the exit of optic nerve does not contain rod cells and cone cells, so it does not responds to the light so it is called blind spot.
Working of human eye
The light rays coming from the object in front of eye enters The Pupil and fall on the eye lens. The eye lens is convex hence converges the light and produces real and inverted image on the retina. the image formed on the retina is conveyed to the Brain by the optic nerve and we can see the object.
