Structure Of The Eye

• What is the main focus of today's video?

  The structure of the eye and iris reflex
• What does a cross section of the eye show?

  It shows the internal structures of the eye
• What is the first structure light hits when entering the eye?

  The cornea
• Why is the cornea transparent?

  To allow all light to pass through
• How does the cornea obtain oxygen?

  Through diffusion from the outside air
• What is the function of the cornea?

  To refract or bend light entering the eye
• What is the iris?

  The colored part of the eye
• What does the iris control?

  The size of the pupil
• What is the pupil?

  A gap in the middle of the iris
• What is the role of the lens in the eye?

  To refract light and focus it on the retina
• How does the lens differ from the cornea?

  The lens can change shape to focus light
• What types of receptor cells are in the retina?

  Cone cells and rod cells
• What do cone cells allow us to do?

  See in color
• Why can't we see colors in the dark?

  Only rod cells are active in low light
• What is the fovea?

  A spot on the retina full of cone cells
• What is the function of the optic nerve?

  To transmit impulses to the brain
• What happens to the pupil in bright light?

  It constricts to allow less light in
• What happens to the pupil in low light?

  It dilates to allow more light in
• What are the two types of muscles in the iris?

  • Circular muscles: contract to constrict pupil
  • Radial muscles: contract to dilate pupil
• How do circular and radial muscles work in bright light?

  Circular muscles contract, radial muscles relax
• How do circular and radial muscles work in dark conditions?

  Circular muscles relax, radial muscles contract
• What is the purpose of the iris reflex?

  To protect the retina from damage
• What is the effect of bright light on the retina?

  It can cause damage to the retina
• What do we call the pupil when it is small?

  Constricted
• What do we call the pupil when it is large?

  Dilated
• What happens to the pupil when transitioning from bright to dark?

  The pupil dilates to let in more light
• What happens to the pupil when transitioning from dark to bright?

  The pupil constricts to let in less light
• How do the functions of the circular and radial muscles differ?

  Circular muscles constrict, radial muscles dilate the pupil
• What is the overall function of the eye's structures?

  To focus light and protect the retina
• What should you do if you have thoughts about the video?
