The lens focuses light through the vitreous humor, a clear gel-like substance that fills the back of the eye and supports the retina. The retina receives the image that the cornea focuses through the eye's internal lens and transforms this image into electrical impulses that are carried by the optic nerve to the brain

We call it the 'white' of the eye.]]> 2016-11-07 10:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135712774 Iris (eye-ris) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135712919 The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye. The iris is the coloured part of your eye.]]> 2016-11-07 10:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135712919 Pupil (pew-pil) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135713619 This is the hole in the coloured iris. It lets light into your eye.  It gets very small in bright light, and bigger in dull light.]]> 2016-11-07 10:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135713619 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135713902 the eye anatomey]]> 2016-11-07 10:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135713902 The lens 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135714256 The lens focuses light onto the retina. It changes shape to make sure that the 'picture' on the retina is as clear as possible. ]]> 2016-11-07 10:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135714256 Retina (Ret-in-a) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135714479 This is like a movie screen which shows the picture you are seeing - upside down, remember? The retina has two lots of cells called 'rods' and 'cones' (because that is what they look like.) Rods can 'see' black and white.  Cones can 'see' colours. They turn the picture into an electrical message for the brain. Sometimes people don't see all the colours - look at our topic 'Colour blindness' to find out more.]]> 2016-11-07 10:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135714479 Blind spot 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135714901 This is a bit of your retina which is not sensitive to light because there are no rods or cones there. It is the spot where the optic nerve is joined on to the retina]]> 2016-11-07 10:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135714901 Optic nerve (op-tic) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135715244 The electrical messages from the retina travel along the optic nerve to your brain. It's a bit like the cable that carries all the TV pictures from your aerial to your TV so that you can see the programs. The great thing is that our eyes take these 'movies' all the time and we don't need any film or camera.]]> 2016-11-07 10:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135715244 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135715466 2016-11-07 10:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135715466 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716026 Watch this video for more information]]> 2016-11-07 10:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716026 Or watch this 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716237 2016-11-07 10:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716237 you could even watch this.. 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716357 2016-11-07 10:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716357 Conjunctiva (con-junk-ty-va) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716947 This is the lining on the inside of your eyelid and the outside of the front of your eye (except for the special skin of the cornea). You can see some tiny blood vessels on the conjunctiva over your eye. If your eyes get sore, these blood vessels get bigger and your eye looks red.]]> 2016-11-07 10:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135716947 Aqueous humour (ak-we-us) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717141 Aqueous means water, and humour means fluid.  This watery stuff fills the front of the eyeball around the lens.]]> 2016-11-07 10:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717141 Vitreous humour (vit-re-us) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717305 This is a thicker jelly-like liquid which fills the larger part of the eyeball and keeps it in shape. (Vitreous means glassy, because the vitreous humour is very clear, so that light can pass through it).]]> 2016-11-07 10:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717305 Ciliary muscles (sil-e-re) 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717469 These are a circle of tiny muscles around the lens. They change the shape of the lens by squeezing and relaxing. They squeeze (making the lens fat) to look at nearby objects, and relax (making the lens thinner) for far away objects.]]> 2016-11-07 10:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717469 Did you know fact 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717760 Your eyes are very beautiful and also very clever, because all the different parts work together to help you see!]]> 2016-11-07 10:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135717760 Did you know fac 15moorel https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135718022 There are two lots of fluid in the eye.]]> 2016-11-07 10:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/15moorel/umrxuti9p3bt/wish/135718022
