| lens | directly behind the pupil, focuses the imagge upon the retina |
| retina | back part of the eye; receives image and sends impulses to the optic nerve |
| optic nerve | receives impulses from the rods and cones in the retina and transmits them to the brain |
| presbyopia | lends loses its ability to focus clearly due to loss of elasticity |
| glaucoma | increased pressure within the eye that can lead to blindness due to pressure on the optic nerve |
| What are the 3 main parts of the ear? | outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear |
| outer ear | leads to the small opening of the middle ear. The outer ear and middle ear is separated by the eardrum |
| How do we hear? | Sound waves strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane), causing it to vibrate. The vibration causes the tiny bones to move. Through a complex process, sound stimuli are transmitted to nerves that transport the signal to the brain |
