Only a small part of what the eye 'sees' is in focus. To turn the image on the retina into complete vision the eye needs help from the brain. Biology - Being Human - Learning Points. The brain processes the raw information coming from...

Your body can get confused by different incoming signals. A look at how the ears, eyes, organs and muscles combine to detect motion, and what happens when they're out of sync.

Synaesthesia, or mixed sensory perception, leads people to "see" smells or "hear" colours. Why does this occur and what does this tell us about brain function? Biology - Being Human - Learning Points. Each of our senses has different...

The process of seeing is a collaboration between the brain and the eye. How does the eye work to create sight, from the lens and iris to the pupil, retina and optic nerve? Biology - Being Human - Learning Points. A far larger part of the...

We dissect and examine the different parts of a sheep's eye. These include the iris, retina, aqueous humour, vitreous humour, optic nerve and the lens. The lens is also used to distort the pattern on a piece of card to demonstrate how it...

“I See You” describes the parts of the human eye that process light and allow people to see.

This video is the first of two lecture presentations on the structure and function of the eye. The presenter gives an overview of what the eye is and how it functions as a sensory receptor for detecting changes in light intensity. The...

Students will learn the three main types of neurons and how they travel through the body's nerve network. Diagrams explain how information is received using our sensory organs and then processed by the central and peripheral nervous...

This is a lecture presentation on the common problems that can affect our vision, focusing on cataracts, long-sightedness, short-sightedness, and color blindness. The presenter explains the causes, symptoms, and potential solutions for...

Hurricane Michael was a late-season storm in 2018 that grew to become the most powerful hurricane on record to hit the central Florida Panhandle. After landfall as a Category 4 storm, it remained a major hurricane, moving into Georgia....

Hurricane Harvey rapidly strengthened in the Gulf of Mexico in 2017, before making landfall in Texas, as one the strongest hurricanes there in over 50 years. The high wind quickly faded after landfall, but the rain continued as the storm...
