The Eye
Accessory structures or Adnexa
4 layers:
1. Skin – thinnest in the body
2. muscle – orbicularis oculi and levator palpebrae superioris
3. Connective tissue – tarsal plate contains tarsal or Meibomian glands -
Chalazion

4. Conjunctiva – mucous membrane
palpebral conjunctiva
bulbar conjunctiva
Eyelashes
sebaceous ciliary glands at base of hair follicles – hordeolum or stye
Lacrimal apparatus – forming and draining tears.

Strabismus – turned eye
Phoria – weakness of eye muscles
Eyeball – 3 layers or tunics:
1. Fibrous tunic (outer tunic)
Cornea – clear - avascular
Scleara – white –means “hard”

2. Vascular tunic : Uvea
Choroid – blood vessels and pigment
Ciliary body :
ciliary processes make aqueous humor
ciliary muscle - accomodation
![Page 11: The Eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b26550346895da3e469/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Accommodation:
Focusing the eye to see close objects
Lens is thin when stretched by suspensory ligaments (low power)
When round ciliary muscle contracts, tension is released from lens and it becomes thicker (higher power lens).
![Page 14: The Eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b26550346895da3e469/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Lens – avascular, clear, elastic
contains proteins called crystallins
becomes opaque = cataract
Iris – pigmented, divides anterior and posterior chamber
Aqueous humor – drains into scleral venous sinus (Schlemm’s canal)
intraocular pressure - glaucoma

3. Nervous Tunic – Retinaseveral layers “inside out”
Pigmented epitheliumRods and Cones (photoreceptors)Bipolar cells Ganglion cells(vitreous humor)
Light is focused by cornea and lens on the Fovea centralis (“central pit”)which is in the center of the Macula lutea (“yellow spot”)The third refractive component is the length of the eyeball.

Refractive DisordersEmmetropia – good vision 20/20
Myopia – nearsightedness
Hyperopia – farsightedness
Astigmatism – light does not focus to a single point on the retina
Presbyopia – “old sight” – loss of ability to accommodate or see up close

Physiology of vision
In the dark, Na+ channels are held open by a nucleotide called cyclic GMP (guanosine monophosphate)
Inflow of sodium (“dark current”) triggers the continual release of neurotransmitter .
This neurotransmitter is inhibitory- it prevents bipolar cells from firing by hyperpolarizing them.
![Page 32: The Eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b26550346895da3e469/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: The Eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b26550346895da3e469/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
When light strikes the retina, retinal (from vitamin A) which is bent, straightens out, and no longer fits into the opsin.
The two separate – this is called bleaching.
The opsin becomes an active enzyme, that activates other enzymes that break down cyclic GMP.
Without cyclic GMP, the Na+ channels close.
![Page 34: The Eye](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813b26550346895da3e469/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The receptor hyperpolarizes, stopping the release of inhibitory neurotransmitter.
This decrease in inhibition allows the bipolar cells to fire, and information is sent to the visual cortex.
Differentiation of color is assisted by horizontal cells.
In darkness, retinal isomerase converts trans-retinal back to cis-retinal, which binds with opsin forming a functional photopigment.

Color vision
Uses three different photopigments : blue, green and red
Wavelength of pigments may be shifted, causingcolor blindness
Red – green color blindness most commonSex-linked trait carried on X chromosome(Males only have one gene for color vision)

Rods: Cones:
Can see in dim light Require more light
See in black and white See in color
Respond to movement Give best acuity
Found more in periphery More central, esp.
in fovea centralis

StereopsisUse both eyes to perceive depth – “depth perception”
Nasal fibers cross at the optic chiasm
Temporal fibers do not cross over
Each visual cortex (R &L) receives information from both eyes so it can compare what each eye sees.
