    As light hits the eye, the first structure that it meets is the cornea. To allow light to pass through, the cornea is completely transparent, and so has no blood vessels. This means that all of the oxygen that it needs has to diffuse into it from the outside air rather than being supplied by the blood, unlike all other parts of the body. The reason we need the cornea is because it causes all the light that passes through it to refract (bend by a certain amount).
    The next important structue is the iris which is the coloured bit of the eye. It controls how big or small the pupil is. The pupil itself is not actually a structure, rather a gap in the middle of the iris which allows the light to pass through to the lense. Just like the cornea, the job of the lense is to refract or bend light, but importantly the lense can change its shape - this allows it to control how strongly it refracts the light. This helps it always focus the light perfectly onto the retina at the back of the eye.
    The retina itself is made up of two different types of receptor cells - cone cells which are sensitive to the colour of light (allowing us to see colour but don't work very well in low light conditions) and rod cells which are more sensitive to light but only allow you to see black and white. This is why you can't see colours in the dark as it is only your rod cells that are working.
    The next structure to know is the fovea which is a special spot on the retina which is filled with only cone cells and it is this region which we try to focus light on so that we can see things most clearly.
    Lastly, we have the optic nerve. This takes all the impulses generated by the receptor cells and transmits them to the brain.
    When in an extremely bright environment, the intensity of the light can cause damage to the retina, so to prevent this, you have a reflex that controls the size of your pupil, making it smaller in bright light environments so that less light can enter and damage your retina. The pupil is referred to as constricted. This becomes larger in lower light conditions as it lets more light in. helping you see in the dark. The pupil is referred to as dilated. To control this, the iris is made up of two different types of muscles. On the inside are circular muscles which stretch around the pupil in circles. Around the outside are radial muscles which stretch from the inside to the outside like the radius of a circle.
    In order to make the pupil smaller in bright light, the circular muscles contract, squeezing the pupil smaller and the radial muscles are relaxed so that they can be stretched longer. If it is dark, the circular muscles relax and the radial muscles contract to mark it shorter and to pull the pupil open, letting in more light.

    This video was really helpful! It got me thinking about treating colour-blindness:
    could scientists treat it by inserting cone cells into the (colour-blind) patient’s eye?

    • @gaiacooper5
      @gaiacooper5 3 роки тому +4

    • @erxinyiq4649
      @erxinyiq4649 2 роки тому +1

      it’s probably more of an inability to see certain wavelengths (?) -> since colours are made up of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum

    Since they cornea absorbs oxygen only by diffusion directly from the air, then if a person sleeps and closes his/her eyelid, the cells in the cornea wouldn't respire any way right? And consider if a person sleeps for a long time, say 10 hours. Does that have an effect on the cells of the cornea and its job in the eye?

      @@ss-hc7tb Look it up. I believe that the cornea is the only tissue that gets oxygen directly from air. If blood were to flow through it, the cornea would be red since blood itself isn't transparent, and the red veins in the eye when having tiresome eyes seems very obvious and clear the eye is redish that time.
