The Sensory Organs
Sensory organs include
• receptors
• accessory organs
The receptors may be divided into three kinds:
• exteroceptors :receive stimuli such as touch,
temperature, pain, light and sound from the external
environment
• interoceptors :pick up information about internal
environment
• proprioceptors :receive stimuli from muscles, tendons,
joints and ligaments

joining the two poles

line encircling the eyeball,
midway between anterior
and posterior poles

portion；

supplied richly by nerves;
because it is curved, the
cornea helps focus light.

cells and dense capillary
plexus

retina

division: ora serrata
a. Pars caeca retinae:
pars iridica retinae


Optic disc (blind spot),
located medial to posterior
pole of eye, and consists of
optic nerve fibers and at
where there are central
a.and v. of retina

Macula lutea
– Lies lateral about 3.5 mm
to optic disc, a shallow
depression, and is
yellowish in color
Wall of eyeball
– Fovea centralis, is an
aera of greatest visual
acuity and is completely
free of blood vessels
(concentration of cone
cells).

The pigment epithelial
layerabsorbs light that
enter the eyeball
preventing backscatter
(blurring of vision)
2. Contents of eyeball
(1) Aqueous humor
1) Chamber of eye:
lies between cornea and
lens, and divided by iris into：
anterior chamber
posterior chamber
Contents of eyeball
2) Aqueous humor
•A clear watery fluid that fills
chamber of eye，secreted by
ciliary body.
Functions
• Helps focus light
• Helps maintain constant
pressure in eyeball
• Helps nourish the lens
and cornea
Production and circulation of aqueous humor:
secreted by the ciliary body
anterior chamber
pupil
posterior chamber
iridocorneal angle
sinus venosus sclera
anterior ciliary vein
sinus venosus sclera
ophthalmic vein
Contents of eyeball
(2) Lens

position ： lis behind the iris ，
anterior to the vitreous body

shape：
Transparent biconvex structure,
covered by an elastic transparent
capsule which is connected by
the ciliary zonules (suspensory
lig.)to the ciliary process
Contents of eyeball

Structure:
lens capsule
cortex of lens
lens nucleus
Its shape is changed by the ciliary
muscle:
 for near vision, the ciliary muscle
contracts and the lens rounds up,

while for distant vision the lens flattens
out, so that the eye may be focused on
distant objects

Contents of eyeball
(3) Vitreous body
Consists
of
colorless,
transparent jelly-like substance
in which there is a meshwork of
fine fibrils, occupies the space
between lens and retina
Helps
maintain the shape of
eyeball and supports the retina
Contents of eyeball
(4) Refractive media:include
Cornea 、
aqueous humor 、lens
vitreous body
Bend entering light waves
and focus them on the
retina
