Eye anatomy

2. (two words)A clear, jelly-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina, helping the eye maintain its round shape.
5. The light-sensitive inner lining at the back of the eye. It acts like the film in a camera, converting light rays into electrical signals.
6. The clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. It acts as the eye's outermost lens, focusing light as it enters.
7. A thin, clear membrane that covers the sclera and lines the inside of your eyelids, keeping the eye moist.
9. The black circular opening in the center of the iris. It looks like a black spot, but it’s actually a hole that lets light pass through to the lens.
10. The colored part of the eye. It contains muscles that expand or contract to control how much light gets in.

1. A clear, flexible structure located behind the iris. It changes shape to "fine-tune" the focus, allowing you to switch between looking at your phone and looking at the horizon.
3. The tough, white outer layer of the eyeball. It provides structural strength and protects the inner working parts.
4. A small, specialized area in the center of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed central vision (what you use for reading).
8. Nerve The "data cable" of the eye. It carries the electrical impulses from the retina to the brain, which then interprets them as images.
