True or False: The eye is like a receptacle
True
Our eyes do not see the complete image. It becomes complete when we perceive the image because of light

B. Cornea
Liquid-like substance
A. Principle of Continuity
B. Cornea

A nearly transparent biconvex structure suspended behind the iris of the eye
A. Lens
B. Vitreous Humor
C. Retina
A. Lens
The sole function of which is to focus light rays onto the retina.
A. Lens
B. Vitreous Humor
C. Retina
A. Lens
Clear jelly like substance that shapes the eye
A. Lens
B. Vitreous Humor
C. Retina
B. Vitreous Humor
A layer of photoreceptors cells and glial cells within the eye that captures incoming photons and transmits them along neuronal pathways as both electrical and chemical signals for the brain to perceive a visual picture.

Also known as the Optic disk
A. Ganglion Cell
B. Bipolar Cells
C. Optic Nerve
D. Blindspot
D. Blindspot
Formed when the optic nerves come together in order to allow for the crossing of fibers from the nasal retina to the optic tract on the other side.
A. Optic Chiasm
B. Thalamus
C. Occipital Lobe
A. Optic Chiasm
enables vision from one side of both the eyes to be appreciated by the occipital cortex of the opposite side.
