Women often face more challenging odds in the publishing industry than their male counterparts, and, historically, female authors confronted even more daunting obstacles in their efforts to build careers as writers.
The nerve layer lining the back of the eye. The retina senses light and creates electrical impulses that are sent through the optic nerve to the brain. The white outer coat of the eye, surrounding the iris. The, clear, gelatinous substance filling the central cavity of the eye. How the Eye Works. The five senses include sight, sound, taste, hearing and touch. Sight, like the other senses is closely related to other parts of our anatomy. The eye is connected to the brain and dependent upon the brain to interpret what we see. How we see depends upon the transfer of light. Light passes through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens.
The lens is a clear part of the eye that helps to focus light, or an image, on the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. In a normal eye, light passes through the transparent lens to the retina. Once it reaches the retina, light is changed into nerve signals that are sent to the brain. The lens must be clear for the retina to receive a sharp image.
