The Eye
Across
- 3. the hole in the iris that allows light to enter the eye
- 6. the bending of light as it passes through the eye
- 8. where the sensory neurones leave the eye
- 9. used to adjust the thickness of the lens
- 13. the ciliary muscles relax when we are looking at these objects
- 15. the receptors that are able to detect coloured light
- 16. transparent section of the sclera
- 18. region of the retina where there are no light receptors
Down
- 1. attached the lens to the ciliary muscles
- 2. an action that is rapid and involuntary
- 4. tough and white outer layer of the eye
- 5. shape of the len
- 6. the layer of cells containing light receptors
- 7. dark layer of the eye where blood vessels are found
- 10. coloured muscles that adjust the size of the pupil
- 11. this muscle contracts to dilate our pupils
- 12. in bright light the pupil does this
- 14. area of the retina with a high concentration of cones
- 17. the receptors that work best in dim light conditions
