Sheep Eye Analysis

Sheep Eye Analysis using pictures!

Here are pics from out lab!

The blackish blue fluid area is the cornea
Around the cornea is the sclera

The stem like thing sticking out of the back of the eye is the optic nerve
Around are white soft tissues and these are fatty tissues which act as a cushion to the eye and around the eye also consists of extrinsic muscle

The vitreous humor is in the posterior part of the eye. It is the jelly semifluid part as shown above. The retina is the white thing in the center in front of the choroid (not shown in picture) and shown directly in the center is the lens.

This blue thing is the choroid and it easily peels

The lens!

Clay Brain

We created a sculpture of the brain using play-doh! After roughly getting the shape of the 2 hemispheres of the brain, we labeled each part. It was difficult finding the locations but it was definitely a fun assignment!

"The Woman with a hole in her brain"

This article is about a 24 year old woman who had realized she was living without a cerebellum. This woman lived most of her life normally aside from her unsteady walking and her not being able to normally speak until she was 6. This article vaguely mentions that there are very little people in this world that deals with the same thing she does. The cerebellum plays a role in movement and balance which explains her difficulty to walk. Its suggested that the cortex takes the place of the missing cerebellum.
The Central sulcus is a fold in the cerebral cortex in the brain. It separates the pariental lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex. Although it is not really clear, but, I think we would not be able to live without it. It is an important part of the brain and keeps the brain funcioning in a way.
