Understanding How Our Eyes Work

The video explains how our eyes perceive the world by detecting light patterns, which are processed into images by the brain. Light enters the eye through the cornea, passes through the pupil controlled by the iris, and is focused by the lens onto the retina. The retina's cells convert light into electrical signals sent to the brain, which creates a detailed image and corrects its orientation. The brain also integrates visual information with prior knowledge for recognition.

What is the primary role of our eyes?

• To taste food

• To spot patterns of light

• To smell scents

• To hear sounds

What part of the eye helps focus light?

• The iris

• The pupil

• The cornea

• The retina

How does the iris respond to bright light?

• It narrows the pupil

• It changes color

• It closes the eye

• It widens the pupil

What happens to light as it passes through the lens?

• It is reflected back

• It is focused on the retina

• It is scattered

• It is absorbed

Where is the retina located?

• On the side of the eye

• At the front of the eye

• Above the eye

• On the back of the eye

What do the cells in the retina do when they detect light?

• They change color

• They emit light

• They turn light into electrical signals

• They produce sound

What is the role of the optic nerve?

• To detect light

• To focus light

• To carry signals to the brain

• To control the pupil

How does the brain process images from both eyes?

• It changes their color

• It ignores one image

• It flips them upside down

• It combines them into one picture

What additional details does the brain add to the images?

• Sound and taste

• Smell and texture

• Color, depth, and movement

• Temperature and weight

How does the brain help us recognize objects?

• By changing their shape

• By connecting sight to memory

• By making them larger

• By altering their color
