Organ Printing Bioprinting is a relatively new field that involves creating living tissue with a three dimensional printer. The process of 3D printing is becoming increasingly popular in many fields as it allows for the direct digital manufacture of a wide variety of plastic and metal items. While this technology is revolutionizing by itself‚ it is now being applied to the field of tissue engineering to produce biological tissue in the form of bioprinters. These devices artificially construct living

The Senses The sensory system involves hearing‚ touching‚ tasting‚ smelling‚ and seeing‚ which provide data for perception. The eye is a sensory organ held by an orbit that allows vision (a detection of light in a way that provides mental images of objects) and holds photoreceptors. Photoreceptors are used to absorb light energy‚ which are bent by a transparent unit called the lens. Some photoreceptors in the eye are the rod cell and cone cell. Rod cells are used in dim light for coarse images and
