- W189665330 abstract "This chapter focuses on a special organ made up of common tissues. The eye is a mobile sphere upon which the principles of a camera are based. A variable aperture regulates the amount of light entering; a transparent optical system focuses this light, and a concave film picks it up. The outer coat of the globe is like the ball of a joint that moves in a socket of muscle, bone, and eyelids. It is formed of collagen fibers and is heir to the same diseases that collagen can suffer elsewhere. The middle coat is a mixture of blood vessels, pigment cells, and muscle, woven together by connective tissue. It is visible in front as the iris, where its dappled shades have given rise to much languid poetry and not a few rash decisions. The hole in the center of the iris is called the pupil. The pupil constricts to protect the retina when the surrounding illumination is too bright and dilates when it is not. Each eye is almost totally surrounded by the bony walls of the orbit. Bone all the way round would certainly guard the eye, but visually, the arrangement would be rather pointless." @default.
