What is the specialized screen at the back of the eye?

The specialized screen at the back of the eye is called the retina. It contains cells that are sensitive to light and convert it into neural signals that are sent to the brain for visual processing. The retina plays a crucial role in vision by capturing images and transmitting them to the brain.


Where is the light focused when it enters your eye?

When light enters your eye, it is focused by the cornea and the lens onto the retina at the back of the eye. The lens adjusts its shape to help focus the light onto the retina, where it is converted into neural signals that are sent to the brain for processing.


Where is the eye light sensed and where it perceived?

Light is sensed by the photoreceptor cells in the retina at the back of the eye. The visual information is then processed and perceived in the brain, specifically in the visual cortex located at the back of the brain.


What part of eye send message to brain so that a person can see?

The organ of vision is the retina of the eye. The sensory receptors are called photoreceptors. When photoreceptors are stimulated, impulses travel within the optic nerve (CN II) to the visual (occipital) cortex of the brain for interpretation. There are two types of photoreceptors: Cones are photoreceptors for color vision and produce sharp images while the Rods are photoreceptors for night vision and produce silhouettes of images.


The brain linked to the eyes by?

The brain is connected to the eyes by the optic nerve. This nerve carries visual information from the retina of the eye to the brain, where it is processed to create our sense of vision.

What is the optics?

It is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry electrical impulses to the brain from the retina.


Does the cornea carry messages to the brain?

No. It is the retina at the back of the eyeball that has the cones and rods that receive stimulus from light and send it to the brain for processing into visual images.


How does the retina send messages to your brain to tell what your seeing?

retina is connected to the nerve and the nerve sends the messages or images to the brain and the brain processes the images

What is the light sensitive tissue in the eye?

The retina. This consists of layers of cells that detect light and colour and transmit information to the brain via the optic nerve.

Is your optic nerve atached to your retina?

yes it is, and the optic nerve is attached to your brain.


What part of the eye receives the image and is connected to the brain by the optic nerve?

The retina is the part of the eye that receives the image, containing photoreceptor cells that detect light. The optic nerve transmits visual information from the retina to the brain for processing.


What carries impulses from the retina to the brain?

The optic nerve carries impulses from the retina to the brain. It is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain for processing.
