Understanding the Eye and Its Components

The video explores the unique structure and function of the human eyeball, detailing the roles of various components like the sclera, cornea, iris, lens, and retina. It explains how light travels through the eye and the importance of the vitreous and aqueous humor. The cornea's method of receiving oxygen through tears is highlighted. The video concludes with an update on SciShow's new website development using Squarespace.

What is the primary function of the sclera in the eye?

• To nourish the cornea

• To control the size of the pupil

• To hold the eye's structure together

Which part of the eye is responsible for controlling the amount of light that enters?

• Iris

• Cornea

• Retina

• Lens

What is the primary function of the lens in the eye?

As you age, what change occurs in the vitreous humor?

• It decreases in volume
