  1. 2. This gets bigger during the fight or flight response.
  2. 4. The small and highly sensitive part of the retina responsible for detailed central vision
  3. 8. The inner most layer of the cornea.
  4. 11. The .....nerve transmits electrical impulses from the retina to the brain.
  5. 13. These photoreceptor cells detect colour.
  6. 14. The iris divides the front of the eye,from the back of the eye. the back of the eye is known as the ....... chamber.
  7. 16. The iris divides the front of the eye, which is known as the ......... chamber, from the back of the eye.
  8. 17. The ...... muscle changes the shape & curvature of the lens by contracting or relaxing.
  9. 19. It controls light levels inside the eye similar to the aperture on a camera.
  10. 20. The layer of nerve tissue which holds millions of rods and cones.

  1. 1. the tough, opaque tissue that serves as the eye's protective outer coat.
  2. 3. The watery portion of the tear film is produced by the ..... gland
  3. 5. The lens is suspended by a bunch of fibres called the suspensory ..........
  4. 6. The......humor forms 2/3 of the eye's volume and gives the eye it's shape.
  5. 7. The six tiny muscles that surround the eye and control its movements are known as the ............ muscles
  6. 9. This tiny area is responsible for our central, sharpest vision. It has a very high concentration of cones, allowing us to appreciate color.
  7. 10. The thickest layer of cells within the cornea.
  8. 12. This part of the eye is composed of layers of blood vessels that nourish the back of the eye
  9. 15. Part of the eye which is affected by cataract.
  10. 17. The 1st refractive structure of the eye that light travels through.
  11. 18. These photoreceptor cells detect light intensity.
