Science 12 - Biology: 2. Visual communication involves the eye registering changes in the immediate environment

• describe the anatomy and function of the human eye, including the:

–      conjunctiva
–      cornea
–      sclera
–      choroid
–      retina
–      iris
–      lens
–      aqueous and vitreous humor
–      ciliary body
–      optic nerve

• identify the limited range of wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum detected by humans and compare this range with those of other vertebrates and invertebrates 
• plan, choose equipment or resources and perform a first-hand investigation of a mammalian eye to gather first-hand data to relate structures to functions
• use available evidence to suggest reasons for the differences in range of electromagnetic radiation detected by humans and other animals
