Specimen Name:
Cow Eye

Purpose:
To look at the different parts in the cow eye.
Materials:
A laptop
A lab notebook
Pencil or pen
Background:
There are many critical parts of the eye that help you see. There are many parts of the eye that help you interpret images: the cornea, lens, retina, iris, and optic nerve. The optic nerve takes in light from the retina and send it’s to the brain. When the eye first take parts at looking at light it goes straight to the cornea and aqueous humor which helps focus the image. Then it will go to the retina which will transmit the light to the optic nerve. From there the light is sent to the brain to

    To begin, light enters the eye through the retina and converts the light into neural signals and send these signals on to the brain for visual recognition. This stimulation is transmitted as an electric signal down the optic track to regions of the brain which process the information from the receptors and turn into a visual perception. Just like in any optical illusion, the image we are receiving of the world through light receptors in our eyes is not exactly the same as the image reaching our brains.…

    When light is refracted into the eye through the lens it hits a point called the fovea centralis, which focuses the light with the use of cones and sends a message to the brain. When the cilliary body doesn’t help the lens to focus and achieve the message signal to the brain, we get double vision.…

    The first step was to observe the outer structure of the eye. Prior to dissection we located the optic nerve, cornea, sclera, iris, pupil, and lens. We then trimmed away excess tissue surrounding the eyeball on the sclera. Then we started a cross-section of the eye with the scalpel by making an incision behind the middle of the eyeball through the sclera. We then separated the eye into halves. We let the vitreous humor slide out. We had to tease it gently away from the lining of the eye. We then tipped the front portion over and let the lens fall out after a little teasing. We located the vitreous body, lens, hyaloid fossa, and zonula ciliaris. We picked up the lens with a pair of forceps and dried it with a paper towel. We attempted to observe its ability to magnify but we weren’t able to see much. If we would have been able to let it dry overnight we probably would have been able to see more. We then turned the eye so we were looking at the cornea. We cut the front of the eye around the outside of the outside of the cornea to remove the cornea. We cut the cornea in half to observe its thickness. We picked up the back half of the eye and located the retina. We located the optic nerve / blind spot when we turned the eye over. We pinched the nerve with the forceps. We moved the retina so that we could see the metallic – looking tissue at the back of the eye which is the choroid. The portion of the choroid that appears blue is the…

    There are three distinct layers in the eye with the outer layer consisting of the cornea and sclera, the middle layer containing the iris, ciliary body and choroid and lastly the inner layer which has the retina (Galloway et al. 2006). The cornea’s main functions is to protect the eye against infection and to refract and transmit the light to the lens and retina. The iris controls the size of the pupil, thus limiting the amount of light that reaches the retina. The ciliary body controls the shape of the lens and the choroid provides nutrients and oxygen to the eye. The retina contains neurons that capture and processes light. Light enters the eye via the outer components and travels through the neurons of the retina and is accordingly captured by the photoreceptors present at the back of the retina. The neurons then translate the visual information received from the eye into nerve impulses that travel from the optic nerve to the lateral geniculate nucleus to be interpreted (Willoughby et al. 2010). Each eye sees a marginally different image which is combined in the brain to become one…

    The outer consists of a white layer called the sclera. The front of the eye, in the area protected by the eyelids, the sclera is covered by the conjunctiva, which runs to the edge of the cornea the clear, curved layer in front of the iris and pupil. Light enters the eye through the cornea, the cornea serves as a protective covering for the front of the eye and also helps focus light on the retina at the back of the eye. After passing through the cornea, light travels through the pupil. The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye. The pupil dilates and constricts as the amount of light in the immediate surroundings changes. The iris allows light into the eye when the environment is dark and allows less light into the eye when the environment is bright. The size of the pupil is controlled by the action of the pupillary sphincter muscle and dilator muscle. Behind the iris sits the lens. By changing its shape, the lens focuses light onto the retina. Through the action of ciliary muscles, the lens becomes thicker in order to focus on nearby objects and thinner to focus on distant objects. The most sensitive part of the retina is a small area called the macula, which has millions of tightly packed photoreceptors and each photoreceptor is linked to a nerve fibre that all bundled together to form the optic nerve. The optic disk, the first part of the optic nerve, is at the back of the eye. The…

    Dissection is a common practice among high schools in the biology class. With new technology arising, there has been many debates that have been presented looking at the pros and cons of such behaviour. Millions of animals are killed annually, there are little to no control measures in place, and animals suffer for the use of dissection among students.…
