Describe how light passes through the eye and how an image is formed on the retina

3.

Light now passes through the lens. The curved shape of the lens will bend the light as it passes through.

1.

Light passes through the transparent cornea. The light rays are bent as they pass through the curved surface of the cornea.

5.

Light reaches the rods and cones in the retina.

4.

Now light has to pass through the transparent vitreous humor that fills the posterior segment of the eye.

8.

The axons of the ganglion cells form the optic nerve.

10

The information about vision must reach the occipital lobe of the cerebrum (primary visual cortex and visual association cortex) before you are aware of seeing an image

9.

The optic nerve sends information about vision.

6.

The rods and cones detect the light and send information to the bipolar cells.

2.

Then, light passes through the transparent aqueous humor and moves to through the pupil. Note that light does not pass through the iris.

7.

the bipolar cells send information to the ganglion cells
