Receptors
Receptors are part of the co-ordination systemthat detect the changes of the environment bymeans of stimuli. Two types ...• Interoceptors – receptors detecting internal stimuli, such as hunger, thirst, pain, need to urinate, and blood pressure changes, etc.• Exteroceptors – receptors detecting external stimuli, such as light, sound, movement (balance), temperature, pressure, pain, etc.
Sense organs – What to learn:
• Label diagrams of human eye and ear• List functions of parts of eye and ear• Using diagrams describe in writing formation
of an image, accommodation, binocular vision, pupillary mechanism, balance and hearing
• Long and short sightedness, astigmatism, cataracts
Internal structure of the eye
ciliary body retina choroid
yellow spot
blind spot
sclera
vitreous humour
lens
suspensory ligament
iris
aqueous humour
pupil
optic nerve
conjunctiva
Function(s) of parts of the eyeSclera: • maintains the shape of the eyeball and • is the point where the eye muscles attachCornea• front part of the sclera which is transparent to allow light to pass into the eye• light refraction occurs hereChoroid• middle layer contains many blood vessels and brings O2 & nutrients to the cells of the retina
Function(s) of parts of the eye (cont.)
Conjunctiva • Thin membrane covers the front of the eye has
sensory nerve endings that detect the presence of foreign objects (protect eye)
Suspensory ligaments• Holds the lens in placeLens• responsible for the refraction of light to create
a sharp focussed image
Function(s) of parts of the eye (cont.)
Retina• light-sensitive membrane lines the inside of the eye ball and is made up of photoreceptorsPhotoreceptors (photo=light+receptors convert stimulus into nerve impulse). Two types.. Rods• active in dim light, allow us to see black & whiteCones • active in bright light, allow us to see colour
Function(s) of parts of the eye (cont.)
Yellow spot (fovea)• small area on retina which contains only cones• the area of sharp visionBlind spot• area where the neurons from the photo- receptors leave the eye ball via the optical nerve• There are no cones or rods in this area• Blood vessels also leaves and enter the eye ball at the blind spot
AccommodationAccommodation is the adjustment of the shapeof the lens to see objects clearly whether they are far away or close by.
Near vision
Far vision
Use the two diagrams to memorise the summary of these two processes on the next slide
