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 cornea also plays a key role in vision by helping focus the light that comes into the eye. The cornea is responsible for 65Â­-75 percent of the eyeâs total focusing power. The cornea and lens of the eye are built to focus light on the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. When light strikes the cornea, it bendsâor refractsâthe incoming light onto the lens. The lens refocuses that light onto the retina, which starts the translation of light into vision.
