5. ESSENTIAL QUESTION: OBJECTIVES:
What are the main structures and functions of the systems of the human body?
OBJECTIVES:
-Perform Sheep Eye Dissection!

6. Sheep Eye Dissection

7. EYE The eye is an extension of the brain
It helps us take in light information from our surroundings. This is how!

8. Eye brain proximity
Can you see :
the optic nerve bundle?
Spinal cord?

9. What are the parts of the eye?

10. Eye Dissection
Before we go over the dissection, let’s go over the parts of the eyes and their function

11. Cornea
Cornea- transparent membrane that covers iris and pupil. Focuses light on the retina.

12. Pupil, Iris, Sclera Pupil- hole passes different amounts of light
Iris- colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil
Sclera- “whites” of the eye that forms outer covering

13. Aqueous Humor, Ciliary Muscle, Lens
Aqueous Humor- nutritious fluid between the iris and the cornea. As we age, it breaks down and we begin to see “floaters”
Ciliary Muscles- produces aqueous humor and controls lens shape
Lens- Bends light rays to the back of the eye –retina. Elastic so change in shape allows for focus on objects close up or far away

14. Retina Full of light receptors which are sensitive to: Cones- Colour
Rods- Light levels
Massive blood supply is also needed
Blind Spot- site of optic nerve connection

15. Vitreous Humor, Blind Spot, Optic Nerve,
Vitreous Humor- transparent jelly-like fluid that fills the eye and refracts light
Optic Nerve- sends messages picked up by retina to the brain
Blind Spot- area where optic nerve attaches. No retina is located there so information cannot be picked up; “Blind”

16. Choroid Layer, Tapetum lucidum
Choroid Layer- lies between the sclera and the retina it provides the blood supply to the eye.
Tapetum lucidum- iridescent film under the retina that provides animals with “night vision”

21. Posterior External Eye Structures

23. Select a place to make an incision of the sclera midway between the cornea and optic nerve. Use the point of a surgical scissors to make a small cut through the sclera. Fluid should ooze out of the eyeball when you have cut deeply enough.

25. Arrange the two hemispheres of the eye as you see in the photograph.
Observe the semi-fluid vitreous humor that fills the central cavity of the eye. It is transparent in the living eye but might be cloudy in the preserved specimen

26. The retina lines the the posterior cavity of the eye and extends forward to the ciliary body. Use your probe to lift and pull the retina back from the underlying choroid layer.
Notice that the retina is only firmly attached to the choroid at one place. This region is the optic disc or blind spot.

30. Remove the lens and place against newspaper to see that it is a magnifier!

31. When the lens is removed, an opening, allowing light to enter the eye is seen. This opening, the pupil is located in the center of the iris. Note the oblong shape of the sheep pupil, in humans the pupil is circular.
The back side of the iris can be seen just above the pointer in the photograph.

33. Can you identify the parts
Can you identify the parts? You will need to so you can get credit during the lab

35. Clean up!
Once all eye parts have been located and signed off by your teacher, it is time to clean up!
Clean off all instruments on your paper towel and put them away
Wrap up eye and all eye parts inside your paper towel
Remove gloves around paper towel for easy disposal
Place items into garbage can
