In the diagram, where is the lens located?

• next to the macula

• behind the iris

• in front of the cornea

• behind the retinal blood vessels

Take a look at your neighbor's eyes. The first thing you’ll probably notice is the color of their eyes. Most people have brown, blue, or green eyes. Some people may have hazel, gray, or violet eyes. The colored part of the eye is called the iris. 

Next, you’ll notice the pupil. The pupil is the black circle in the center of the iris. The pupil controls the amount of light that enters the eye. If you’re in a very bright room, you’ll notice that your neighbor’s pupils are very small. This allows only a little bit of light to enter. If you are in a dark space, your neighbor’s pupils will be much larger. This allows more light to enter the eye.

The eye is actually shaped like a ball. Eyes sit in a socket in the skull. When light enters the pupil, it hits the back of the eye, called the retina. The retina sends a visual message to the brain. When the brain gets the message, vision occurs. 

The eyes and vision are very important. The body does many things to protect the eyes. The eyelid prevents things from entering the eyes. Tears wash dust and dirt out of the eyes. Eyebrows keep sweat from your forehead from entering the eye. We use our eyes a lot and it is important to take care of them!

How are the “The Human Body- Your Vision” diagram and reading passage similar to each other?

• both show/explain the different colors an eye can be

• both show/explain where the eyelid is located

• both show/explain where the retinal blood vessels are

• both show/explain where the retina is located

How do both the diagram and text help you understand the eye?

• they tell and show how the eye sits in the socket

• they tell and show that the pupil is the black circle in the center of the iris

• they tell and show what the various parts of the eye are called

• they tell and show what the eyebrow’s purpose is
