names of the hormones produced and their target organs along with functions
major functions of the endocrine system
major glands and organs/ and their functions
major structures and functions of the eye
rod cell
ROD CELL:
cone cells
CONE CELLS:
retina
RETINA: thin layer of tissue in the back part of the eye(like wet tissue paper);light sensitive and contains rods and cones; part of the eye most responsible for seeing; turns light waves into nerve signals and sends them to the brain.
choroid layer
CHOROID LAYER:
sclera
SCLERA:the white of the eye, the function is to protect the eye.
rectus muscle
RECTUS MUSCLE
vitreour humor
VITREOUS HUMOR: transparent; gelatinous body that fills up the space between the lens and the retina; liquid in the back part of the eye.
blind spot
BLIND SPOT:
cilliary body muscles
CILIARY BODY MUSCLES:
conjunctiva
CONJUNCTIVA:
iris
IRIS
:the pigmented part of the eye;the eye color is determined with amount of distribution of melanin
pupil
PUPIL: hole through which light passes; its diameter is controlled by the iris in response to the brightness of the light.
lens
LENS:
transparent body enclosed in an elastic capsule made up of proteins and water; focusses on incoming rays that enter through the pupil into an image on the eye's light sensitive back surface
cornea
CORNEA:clear, bulging surface in front of the eye; focuses the light into the eye; primary refractive surface of eye
optic nerve
OPTIC NERVE
:in the very back of the eye; transmits visual information from the retina to the brain
diseases associated with the endocrine system
