Remember receptors are found in the different sense organs in the body.
The different receptors are sensitive to different stimuli.
The stimuli are light, touch, taste, sound, pain, temperature and heat and cold.
The receptors can pick up the changes in the environment which are the stimuli.
The receptors then convert the stimuli to nerve impulses.
The impulses are then carried to the brain.

The impulse are interpreted in the brain. The body is then able to respond to the stimuli, which
are the changes in the environment.The list below shows some of the receptors and their
location in the body…
1. The skin has receptors for temperature, pressure and pain.
2. The tongue has the receptors for chemicals (taste). These receptors are found in the taste buds.
3. The nose contains the olfactory organ. The olfactory organ also contains the receptors for chemicals (smell).

4. The major functions of an ear are hearing and balance.
5. The cochlea in the ear contains the organ of
corti which contains the receptors for sound.
6. The sacculus, utriculus and the semi-circular canals in which the
receptors for balance are found.
7. The photoreceptors in the eye are the light
receptors.

The eye is made up of the following parts…
1. The wall and
2. The parts within the eye.
We shall look at each of these parts.
Internal structure of the eye
![Page 11: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit. The orbit offers the](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060900/609e0ebedc0fe017f93461fe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Wall of the Eye:
The wall of the human eye is made up of 3 layers.
These are…1. Outer sclera2. The middle choroid
and 3. The inner retina.We shall look at each of
these 3 layers in detail. Internal structure of the eye
![Page 12: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit.

The Sclera:
This is the outermost layer of the eye.
It is tough and non-elastic, meaning that its shape does not easily change.
It opaque in colour. The sclera continues
in the front of the eye
as the cornea. Sclera with cornea
![Page 13: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit. The orbit offers the](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060900/609e0ebedc0fe017f93461fe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The cornea is disc-shaped.
It is transparent in colour.
Functions of the Sclera:
1. It maintains the shape of the eye.
2. It protects the inner parts of the eye
3. As the cornea it allows light to enter the eye.
4. As the cornea it also plays a role in refracting the light so that it falls on the correct spot on the retina for clear vision.

The iris gives the eye its colour.
The iris maybe coloured blue, brown green etc.
An opening is found in the centre of the iris.
This opening is called
the pupil.
The iris contains circular and radial muscles. Circular and radial muscles
of the iris

Functions of the Choroid:
1. The choroid prevent refection of light within the eye, because the brown pigment absorbs the light.
2. The suspensory ligaments hold the lens in position.
3. The ciliary muscles can alter the shape of the lens for near and distant vision.

The rods are responsible for dim light vision.
The cones are responsible for bright vision.
The nerve fibres from the rods and cones leave the
eye as the optic nerve.
The optic nerve carries the impulses from the rods and cones to the brain.

Binocular Vision:
Binocular vision refers to the process of looking at something with both eyes.
Binocular vision gives rise to depth perception, which means we are able to see the solidity and depth of objects.
This is called stereoscopic vision.
Stereoscopic vision refers to the ability to see the depth and solidity of objects.
Now lets look at how this is possible.
![Page 53: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit.

The eyes are set apart on the face.
They are separated by the nose.
This allows us to observe 2 separate images.
Remember that each eye forms an image, so what happens here is that the 2 images combine to form a three dimensional view of the object.

Accommodation:
Accommodation refers to ability of the
eye to alter the convexity of the lens to allow a clear image to fall on the retina , whether the object is near and distant.
Now lets look at the process of accommodation.
![Page 57: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit.

Accommodation for Near Vision.
1. The ciliary muscle contract.
2. Causing the suspensory ligaments to become slack.
3. This decreases the tension on the lens.
4. There the lens becomes more convex.
5. This ensure that the refractive power of the lens increases.
6. Therefore a clear image falls on the retina.

Accommodation for Distant Vision:
1. The ciliary muscles relax.2. This pulls the suspensory
ligament causing them to become taut.
3. This in turn pulls on the lens
4. This increases the tension on the lens.
5. The lens become less convex
6. Decreasing the refractive power of the lens.
7. Therefore a clear image falls on the retina.

The Pupillary Mechanism:
The pupillary mechanism refers to
the process by which the diameter of the pupil is altered to control the amount of light which enters the eye.
This allows for clear vision in both dim and bright light.
In order for us to see clearly we need the right amount of light to enter the eye.
![Page 60: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit. The orbit offers the](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060900/609e0ebedc0fe017f93461fe/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
So in a dark room more light needs to enter the eye and in
A bright room less light needs to enter the eye for a clear image to be formed.
Now lets look at each one.

Bright light Vision:
1. The circular muscles contract.
2. The radial muscles relax.3. This makes them shorter.4. The pupil constricts, this
means it becomes smaller.
5. Therefore less light enters the eye allowing a clear image to fall on the retina. Pupillary mechanism for
bright light vision

In Dim Light:
1. The radial muscles contract.
2. This means they become longer.
3. The circular muscles relax.
4. This causes the pupil to dilate this means it becomes larger.
5. This allows more light to enter the eye.
Pupillary mechanism for dim light vision

Accommodation and the pupillary mechanism is easier to learn if you, learn each one with the diagram.
That is draw a simple diagram and
label it, then write what happens to each part and learn!!!!!
Remember you only need to learn one because the other is the opposite.

We shall look at the following diseases and disorders…
1. Long-sightedness
2. Short-sightedness
3. Astigmatism
4. Cataracts

1. Long-Sightedness
Long-sightedness is also known as
hypermetropia.
This can be caused by the eyeball being too round or
By the lens cannot become more convex. This is more common in older people.
![Page 71: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit.

Here the image of the near object that falls on the
retina is blurred.
The clearly focused image falls behind the retina.
Therefore people who are long-sighted cannot see near objects clearly.
But they are able to see distant objects clearly.
Therefore they are said to be long sighted because they can see distant objects clearly.

Treatment:
The vision is corrected by wearing glasses with
convex lens.
This allows the clear image of the near object to fall on the retina.

2. Short-sightedness
Short sightedness is also called
Myopia.
It can be caused by the eyeball being too long or
The lens cannot flatten or become less convex.
![Page 74: KNOWLEDGE AREA: Responding to the Environment ......eye are the light receptors. The eye is found in a bony cavity in the skull. This cavity is called the orbit.

Therefore people who suffer from myopia cannot see distant objects clearly but they can see near objects clearly.
It is for this reason we say that they are short sighted.

Treatment:
The individual needs glasses with a concave lens.
This lens ensures that the clear image of the distant object falls on the retina. Treatment for short-sightedness

3. Astigmatism:
Usually the cornea is smooth and round in all directions.
This means that light entering the cornea is equally focused in all directions.
However sometimes the front of the cornea is unevenly curved, that is curved more in one part than the other.
This gives the cornea a football shape.
Differences in the normal cornea and astigmatic cornea

Symptoms:
1. Distortion or blurring of distant images
2. Headache and fatigue
3. Squinting, eye discomfort or irritation.
Treatment:
Sometimes treatment is not necessary especially if the degree of astigmatism is slight and there are no other conditions like near sightedness or far sightedness.

4. Cataracts:
Sometimes the transparent lens becomes cloudy and opaque.
The cloudy opaque parts of the lens are
called cataracts.
This means that light cannot easily pass through into the eye.

Treatment:
Treatment may occur through surgery.
During surgery the lens is removed and is replaced by a synthetic lens.
The surgery occurs in the following way:
1. A small slit is made in the cornea using microscopic instruments.
2. Then a tiny slit is made in the lens capsule.
3. The lens is removed.
