Special Areas of the Retina
Fovea centralis (fovea) is a depresion, located in the center of the macula region of the retina.
The macula or macula lutea is an oval-shaped highly
pigmented yellow spot near the center of the retina
![Page 16: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The inner nervous layer
Is a hole located in the center of the iris.
It helps to pass the light into the eye.

Lacrimal gland The lacrimal glands are the sites of tear
production.
Tears function to keep the conjunctiva
and corneal epithelium moist and
wash away foreign material from the
eye.
Accessory structures
Lacrimal apparatusSecretes and drains tears from the eye
![Page 21: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Accessory structures
Eyelashes
Eyelashes are short hairs of eye that
may occur in double or triple rows.
They function to protect the eye
from debris.
Lashes may also have
different lengths and
diameters to one another.
![Page 22: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Accessory structures Conjunctiva The conjunctiva refers to the lining of the
eye.
It has 2 parts
Palpebral conjunctiva
Bulbar conjunctiva
It helps lubricate the eye by secreting
mucous, and serves as a protective
barrier again microbes.
It contains many goblet cells which
secrete a component of the tears that
bath the eye.
![Page 23: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Accessory structures
Eyelid The main function of the eyelid
is to provide the eye with
protection. There are several
types of glands in the eyelids,
including tarsal glands that
produce a sebaceous secretion
that results in an oily surface of
the tear film to prevent the
evaporation of the normal tear
layer.

These six muscles responsible for eye movement.
Four rectus muscles control the movement of the eye in
the four cardinal directions:
Up,
Down,
Left and
Right.
The remaining two muscles control the adjustments
involved in counter acting head movement.

Refraction is the phenomenon which makes image formation possible by the eye as well as by cameras and other systems of lenses.
The eye, is optically equivalent to the usual photographic camera.
The lens system of the eye is composed of four refractive interfaces.
Formation of an Image on the Retina.
The lens system of the eye can focus an image on the retina. The image is inverted and reversed with respect to the object. However, the mind perceives objects in the upright position because the brain is trained to consider an inverted image as the normal.
The Eye as a CameraRefraction
![Page 29: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
AccommodationThe process of changing the
shape of the lens while focusing on an object is termed as accommodation.
At rest focused on distant objects, needs to increase focal power than focus on close objects.
The ciliary muscles contract and release tension in the ligaments and the lens becomes rounder in case of close objects.
![Page 30: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
There are four types of photopigments, one in the rods and one in
each of three types of cones.
The pigment in the rods is called rhodopsin.
Rhodopsin absorbs all visible wavelengths, so that rods
provide vision only in shades of grey by detecting different
intensities rather than colours.
The three types of cones - red, green and blue
photopsin, can respond selectively to various
wavelengths of light, giving rise to colour vision.
Photopigments
![Page 31: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Rhodopsin
๑ The photon is absorbed by rhodopsin. ๑ The light receptor molecule tightly-packed in the
disk membranes
๑ One rod contains 10 billion rhodopsin molecules, which ensures an optimum photon capture rate
Rhodopsin has 2 components Retinal- Vitamin A aldehydeOpsin- single polypeptide
containing 7 transmembrane domains

RHODOPSIN CYCLE
![Page 33: Physiology of sense organ EYE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/554ec2d4b4c905de468b4bc4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
ROLE OF VITAMIN A FOR FORMATION OF RHODOPSIN.
Vitamin A is present both in the cytoplasm of the rods and in the pigment layer of the retina. Therefore, vitamin A is normally always available to form new retinal when needed.
Conversely, when there is excess retinal in the retina, it is converted back into vitamin A, thus reducing the amount of light-sensitive pigment in the retina.
Night blindness.

The retina therefore signals the brain
Light stimulation through an inhibitory response involving a series of
physiological reactions
Action potentials, Only originate in the ganglion cells,
The first neurons in the chain that carry the visual stimuli to the brain.
Vision occurs
This process is called phototransduction.

ERRORS OF REFRACTION• Astigmatism– defective
curvature of the cornea or lens of the eye.
• Presbyopia– impaired vision of the cornea or lens of the eye, associated with aging.
• Hyperopia– can’t see close objects, rays of light focus behind retina
• Myopia- can’t see far away objects, rays of light focus in front of the retina
