Special Senses
• Sensory receptors are within large, complex sensory
organs in the head
• Smell in olfactory organs
• Taste in taste buds
• Hearing and equilibrium in ears
• Sight in eyes

4. process of vision
• The human eye is the organ which gives us
the sense of sight, allowing us to learn more
about the surrounding world than we do
with any of the other four senses.
• The eye allows us to see and interpret the
shapes, colors, and dimensions of objects in
the world by processing the light they
reflect or emit.

Inner Tunic
• Retina العين ّةيشبك
• Contains visual receptors
• Continuous with optic nerve
• Ends just behind margin of the ciliary body
• Composed of several layers
• Macula lutea – yellowish spot in retina
• Fovea centralis – center of macula lutea; produces sharpest
vision
• Optic disc البصري القرص – blind spot المخفية ;النقطة contains no visual
receptors
• Vitreous humor الزجاجي المرح – thick gel that holds retina flat
against choroid coat

• Bending of light
• Occurs when light waves pass at an oblique angle
into mediums of different densities

Focusing On Retina
• As light enters eye, it is refracted by:
• Convex surface of cornea
• Convex surface of lens
• Image focused on retina is upside down and reversed
from left to right

Lifespan Changes
• Age-related visual problems include:
• Dry eyes
• Floaters (crystals in vitreous humor)
• Loss of elasticity of lens
• Glaucoma
