The eye is one of the most complex organs of the human body. In the human eye, three layers can be distinguished.
The outer region consists of the cornea and the sclera [4]. The cornea refracts and transmits the light to the lens and the retina and protects the eye against infection and structural damage to the deeper parts. The sclera is a thick, opaque white tissue that covers 95% of the surface area of the eye. The sclera forms a connective tissue coat that protects the eye from internal and external forces and maintains its shape. The cornea and the sclera are connected at the limbus. The visible part of the sclera is covered by a transparent mucous membrane, the conjunctiva.
The middle layer of the eye is composed of the iris, the ciliary body

The iris controls the size of the pupil, and thus the amount of light reaching the retina; the ciliary body controls the power and shape of the lens and is the site of aqueous production; and the choroid is a vascular layer that provides oxygen and nutrients to the outer retinal layers.
The inner layer of the eye is the retina [4], a complex, layered structure of neurons that capture and process light. The surrounding sclera and cornea help to protect retina and keep it in the appropriate position.
There are six major classes in neural retina: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells and ganglion cells, which capture and process light signals; and the Mullerian glia, which act as the organizational backbone of the neural retina.
The three transparent structures surrounded by the ocular layers are called the aqueous, the vitreous and the
After being shown a picture of an elephant they eye will take the light that is reflected from the object and it will enter the eye through the pupil. Then the light will be focused by the cornea and the lens to form a sharp image of the elephant in the retina. The retina is the network of neurons that cover the back of the eye and contains the visual receptors for a person vision. The visual receptors are made up of cones and rods that contain light sensitive chemicals called visual pigments. Visual pigments reacht to light and cause a triggered electrical signals to occur. These electrical signals will then flow through a network of neurons and this network of neurons is what makes up a persons retina. After the flow through the network of neurons occurs the electrical signals will emerge from the back of the eye in the area
When it comes to vision, we see things based on the light reflected from surfaces. The reflected light waves enter the eye through the cornea at the front of the eye, it's resized at the pupil, focused by the lens, and hits the retina at the back. The light is then detected by rods and cones, photoreceptors, which alters the light into electrical signals. The optic nerve transmits those vision signals to the lateral geniculate nucleus, where visual information is transmitted to the visual cortex of the brain then converts into the objects that we see.
Cerebral palsy people usually very stiff and unusual relaxed and ‘’floppy ‘’ limbs which may also held in an unusual or awkward position
There are different kinds of joints in the human body (hinge/ball joint and socket and spin for example). They are joined together ball joints and socket joints fit together nicely do you can move your ankles, toes and fingers. These are all surrounded by ligaments and tendons which you can cause damage o by moving them incorrectly. such as not moving a person up the bed correctly such as putting your arms under their armpit, and dragging them u the bed. Lifting a person off the floor without a hoist but instead lifting them under their arms, this could cause their joint to dislocate or new hip joint ruined by incorrect handling, or muscles, tendons to be hurt. There are 3 different layers to the skin the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
It is a translucent membrane with a pearly gray color and a prominent cone of light in the anteroinferior quadrant, which is the reflection of the otoscope light (Jarvis 2012). Normally the tympanic membrane has three layers. Those are, the outer epithelial layer, the inner mucosal layer, and middle fibrous layer.
The eyeball holds many parts to allow eyesight. The retina holds the key to allowing the human eye to see color. The pupil appears as the black part of the eye that people see, the pupil however does not have much to do with comprehending color. As Clarence Rainwater said in his book “The pupil is simply the hole in the iris through which light enters the eye.” (84) The light then has to pass through many parts of the eye before reaching the retina such as the transparent cornea, the aqueous humor, the lens, and the vitreous humor. Clarence Rainwater described the retina as “... the eye’s sensitive inner surface.” (86) The exciting part of the eye starts here. The retina holds the key as stated by Clarence Rainwater, “... a complex system

The development of the human body is an exquisite process that involves numerous complicated processes for even the smallest of body parts, including the eyes. The eyes are an extraordinarily complex organ capable of gathering information through refracted light and sending it the brain to assemble a picture. They provide the ability to see and follow a moving object and the capability to tell an approximate distance of an object. When light passes through the cornea and iris pupil, at the anterior portion of the eye, it is focused by the lens onto the retina at the back of the eye. Photoreceptor cells, which are present in the retina, detect the light and send information to interneurons which begin to sort out the information. This information is then sent to ganglion cells which transmits the final information to the brain (Sowden 199). Because the eyes have such complicated and exquisite processes, the likelihood of developmental errors occurring are possible. A large number of these developmental errors lead to congenital defects and abnormalities that effect the individual’s eye sight. Some of these defects and abnormalities can cause serious diseases and syndromes that effect more than just the eyes, but also neurological processes, facial dimorphisms, growth failure, tracheal development, and genitalia anomalies.
Molecular layer I is, also called plexiform layer, located closest to the pial surface of the brain. This layer has few neuron bodies. It contains many nuclei which belong to glia cells, myelinated fibers and few neurons of granular and horizontal neurons of Cajal.It consists almost all axonal and dendritic branching.
Light must pass through the cornea, aqueous humor, lens and vitreous humor before reaching the retina. It must then pass through the inner layers of the retina to reach the photoreceptive layer of rods and cones.
The iris is a thin diaphragm made of connective tissue and smooth muscle fibers. It lies between the cornea and lens. The iris is composed of three layers including endothelium, stroma and epithelium. The anterior chamber, the space between the cornea and the lens is divided into two chambers. The patterns that form the structure of the iris are unique to each person. Like fingerprints, iris pattern complexity can potentially identify a person.
Fluid circulating inside the front portion of the eye is produced by a structure called the ciliary body, which is located behind the iris. This fluid moves through the opening of the pupil, passes into the space between the iris and the cornea, and drains out of the eye through a tissue called the angle. With glaucoma, the passing of fluid
The eyelids are made up of four layers, the skin, muscle, connective tissue and conjunctiva. The process of vision occurs when light waves from an object, enter through the iris. Light then passes through the lens of the eye, a double convex structure that is used to focus the light, and then reaches the retina. Inside the retina are rods and cones. Rods are used to sense light and dark, and cones are used for sensing colors. Whether the light entering the eye hits the cones or rods, a signal is sent across the optic nerve to the brain where it is processed and viewed as an image. Some issues people have with eyesight are as follows. Those who are farsighted are unable to see things clearly at a short distance, compared to a long distance. This occurs when the light that enters the eye is focused behind the retina, and not directly onto it. When the cornea is not curved enough, this happens. Nearsightedness is when one can see objects clear at a short distance, but not at a longer distance, and this is often caused by a change in the cornea. A Blind spot is the location the optic disk, where the optic nerve fiber exits, and at this location there are no cones or rods, so there is a blind spot.
The eye is an opaque eyeball filled with liquid. In the front of the eyeball is a transparent opening known as the cornea. The cornea is a thin membrane
