The Sensory Organs
Sensory organs include the receptors and accessory organs. The receptors may be divided into three kinds:
The exteroceptors 外感受器: receive stimuli such as touch, temperature, pain, light and sound from the external environment
The interoceptors 内感受器: pick up information about internal environment
The proprioceptors 本体感受器: receive stimuli from muscles, tendons, joints and ligamentsThe Visual Organ 视器
The Visual Organ 视器
Composition: eyeball and accessory organs of eye
Shape of eyeball
Has anterior and posterior poles
Equator 赤道: an imaginary line encircling the eyeball, midway between anterior and posterior poles
Axis of eyeball 眼轴: a line joining the two poles
Optic axis 视轴: a line joining the center of the pupil to the fovea centralis Walls of eyeballWalls of eyeballFibrous tunic of eyeballCornea 角膜Sclera 巩膜Vascular tunic of eyeballIris 虹膜Cilliary body 睫状体

Aqueous humor 房水
A clear watery fluid that fills chamber of eye
Continuously secreted by ciliary body into posterior chamber
Passes through pupil into anterior chamber

Located between iris and vitreous body, and suspended behind pupil by ciliary zonule 睫状小带
Shape changed by the ciliary muscle: for near vision, the ciliary muscle contracts and the lens rounds up, while for distant vision the lens flattens out, so that the eye may be focused on distant objectsVitreous body 玻璃体
