14.2.2—Structures of the eye

• Identify in diagrams and images the structures of the eye, limited to: cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve and blind spot

Question 1(b)(i)

[Maximum number: 1]

Accommodation (focusing) is one of the functions of the eye.

Fig. 1.1 is a diagram of an eye that is focusing on a distant object.

Question 1(b)(ii)

[Maximum number: 4]

Fig. 1.1 shows part of a human eye and three neurones that conduct electrical impulses between the eye and the brain. These neurones are involved in the pupil reflex.

Question 3(c)(i)

(i)

On Fig. 3.3 draw:
- the letter P to show the location of the fovea

Question 4

Question 4(b)

(a)

The responses of the human body to danger are coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems.

Fig. 4.1 shows the sequence of events that occurs in response to a dangerous situation that is detected by the eyes.

Question 4(b)(v)

(ii)

Identify the organ labelled P.

Table 4.1 describes some of the functions of the parts of the eye.

Complete the table by:
- naming the parts of the eye
- using the letters on Fig. 4.1 to identify the parts of the eye.
