Parts and Functions of the Eyes Cornea : The cornea is the outer covering of the eye. This dome-shaped layer protects your eye from elements that could cause damage to the inner parts of the eye. There are several layers of the cornea‚ creating a tough layer that provides additional protection. These layers regenerate very quickly‚ helping the eye to eliminate damage more easily. The cornea also allows the eye to properly focus on light more effectively. Those who are having trouble focusing their

1) What is the role of calcium ions during contraction of a skeletal muscle? Calcium is an important element for live. Calcium is found in the bones of animals and humans. In muscle contraction is produce as a result of Calcium ions ‚ Ca2+‚ It comes from rapid release from the cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum which cause a chemical reaction between ATP and the myofilaments. Another important function of Calcium ions occurs during the state of resting muscle. During the state of resting

drums vibrate from the incoming sound waves and sends these sound vibrations to your three tiny bones called malleus‚ incus‚ and stapes. When the sound vibration hits the fluid movement in the cochlea of the inner ear. An elastic partition goes through the cochlea‚ which starts from the beginning of the cochlea to the end. After this‚ it goes into two different directions‚ upper part and lower part. The partition is called basilar membrane. Following that‚ the vibrations causes the fluid to ripple a

(March of Dimes‚ 2010). Humans are able to hear sounds through the brains relationship with the ear. The outer ear absorbs sound waves that travel through the eardrum. These sound waves are then transferred to the middle ear before entering the cochlea. The cochlea is the main receptor organ for hearing and works with inner ear canals that assist with balance to hear and register sounds to the brain. Before an educator can differentiate or modify lesson plans they must first understand the basics of the

pinna that gathers sound waves and sends them into the auditory canal. The auditory canal is connected to the middle ear where air waves are increased and sent to the inner ear. There‚ the cochlea transfers sound waves into action potentials‚ which causes its fluid-filled ducts to vibrate. The middle duct of the cochlea has hair cells that bend when pressure waves force the membrane to move. Hearing loss can be caused by loud or repetitive

portion of the ear. The middle portion contains the ear drum and the connection between the pharynx and the drum‚ the Eustachian tube. The inner ear contains the sensory receptors for hearing which are enclosed in a fluid filled chamber called the cochlea. The outer and middle ears purposes are only to receive and amplify sound. Those parts ofd the ear are only present in amphibians and mammals‚ but the inner ear is present in all vertebrates. The ear can hear in several different ways. They are
