Eye dissection

The Cornea refracts light. The sclera provides structure and protection of the eye. The optic nerve transmits the signals generated from the eye to the brain.The pupil helps regulate the amount of light passing through to the retina, which is at the back of the eye. Light is transmitted through the vitreous humor. The fatty tissue around the eye supports the eye.External eye muscle allows the eye to move around easier. The choroid absorbs light and prevents internal reflection. The lens refracts the light you see.

The Clay Brain

We used clay to make a diagram of the brain. We involved many different parts of the brain . We split the brain into the right hemisphere and the left sagittal side of the brain. We had to use a key to explain the different parts. 

Hole in the head

         A woman was born without a cerebellum, She couldn't walk straight her whole life and couldn't talk until she was 7. They did not find out that the cerebellum was missing until she was 24. The space where the cerebellum should be was empty. The cerebellum is very important because it works the motor control and balance. Problems in the cerebellum can lead to severe mental impairment, movement disorders, epilepsy or a potentially fatal build up of fluid in the brain. Only 9 people have ever lived without a cerebellum.


Corpus Collosum

It connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres. It is the largest white matter structure in the brain. People who are missing it can have either mild or very severe futures. Te condition is called agenesis. The surgical operation called corpus callosotomy is used as a last resort to treat epilepsy. This causes the split brain syndrome. The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, and the right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body. It is also important to realize that the left side of the brain is dominant in understanding language. The right side is more dominant in creativity, Without the corpus collosum there would be no split brain.
