Biology becomes fun - Anatomy of the eye

Miss Reem, the bio teacher, took us down to the lab. FINALLY. After all those weeks of waiting for the eye sheeps to arrive, they did. And so we went, lab coats and smiles of excitement on.

We were actually given tools to bisect the eyes ourselves. Every 3 people got an eye and it was the funnest experience in my life! It really felt gross at the beginning but at the end, you couldn't get enough of putting the needle through the eye.

Those pink things were the layers of fat around the eyes and the black stuff is the pigment in the choroid which helps to trap light and the transparent sol is the viterous humour which helps to refract light and the lens and the suspensary ligaments are in there but they're hard to see.

And we really saw it. We saw the lens and the iris and the ciliary bodies and the suspensary ligaments and the viterous humour and the choroid. So it really made a difference to actually see the insides of an eye. Instead of just looking at the neat picture of the eye in the book, we got to look at this which is way cooler than theory. By the way, that little transperent thing beside "the eye" is what's left of the lens after falling into many hands.


Sorry if i grossed someone out. BUT THAT WAS FUN!!!
