  1. The Eye Splawn

  2. Eye • The human eye is 1 inch in diameter

  3. The Protected Eye • The eye is protected by the… • Orbital cavity • Eyebrows • Eyelashes • Eyelids

  4. Tears • The eyes are continually bathed by tears secreted out of our lacrimal gland • Tears cleanse and moisten

  5. Lacrimal Ducts • Tears flow across the into the lacrimal ducts • The lacrimal ducts empty tears into the nasal cavity

  6. Lubrication from eye lids • Along the border of the eyelid are glands that secrete an oily lubricant for the eyes • An infection here is called a stye

  7. Conjunctiva • A thin membrane that lines the eyelid and covers part of the eye • The conjunctiva secrete mucus which helps lubricate the eye

  8. The Wall of the Eye • The wall of the eye is made up of three layers • Sclera • Choroid • Retina

  9. Three wall layers

  10. Sclera • The outer layer of the wall of the eye • White of the eye • Tough strong protective layer that helps eye maintain shape • Muscles that move the eye in the socket are attached to the sclera

  11. Extrinsic Muscles • Those muscles attached to the sclera that are responsible for moving the eye within the orbital socket are called extrinsic muscles • 6 different extrinsic muscles the control different eye movements

  12. CLOSE YOUR EYES IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE A REAL EYEBALL WITH REAL EXTRINSIC MUSCLES

  13. Cornea • In the front, center of the sclerotic coat lies a circular clear area called the cornea. • Window of the eye • Transparent to permit passage of light rays • Fed by lymph fluid as transparent due to lack of blood vessels

  14. Cornea (within the sclerotic coat) • Consist of 5 layers of flat cells arranged much like five sheets of glass • Cornea has pain and touch receptors which helps us protect our eyes

  15. Choroid Coat • The middle layer of the wall of the eye • Contains blood vessels that nourish the eye • Darker color to prevent light reflection that would distract from normal vision

  16. Pupil • In the front of the choroid coat there is a dark circular opening that allows for passage of light

  17. Iris • The pupil is surrounded by a colored muscular layer called the iris • Responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and the amount of light reaching the pupil • Muscles in the iris that control pupil size are called intrinsic muscles

  18. Pupil • Dilated by the contracting intrinsic muscles in dark light or when trying to see an object far away. • Constricted by bright light and close objects

  19. Lens • A crystalline (able to be seen through with clarity) structure located behind the iris and the pupil • Elastic, disc-shaped • Biconvex-curves outward on both sides • Posterior portion more curved that anterior surface • Flattens as we get older

  20. Lens • The lens is held in place by suspensory ligaments from a ciliary body • Ciliary body holds muscles that can change shape of lens • The loose their elasticity with age

  21. Lens • The lens changes shape to allow for near or distant vision • Accommodation

  22. Lens • The lens is situated between the ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR CHAMBERS • The anterior chamber is the space between the cornea and the crystalline lens • The posterior chamber is the space between the iris and the crystalline lens

  23. Lens • The anterior chamber is filled with aqueous humor, a watery fluid that helps maintains pressure in the eye. • The posterior chamber is filled with vitreous humor, jelly-like substance

  24. Retina • Inner-most or third coat of the eye • Between posterior chamber and choroid coat • Does not extend around front portion of eye • It is from this light-sensitive layer that light rays from an object form an image • After the image is focused on the retina, it travels to the optic nerve

  25. Lens • The lens will chan

  26. Positioning of the eye • The location of our eyes in front of the head helps us see stereoscopically • In three dimensions, 3-D • Length • Width • depth
