GCSE Biology - How the Eye Works (Part 1) - Structure of the Eye & Iris Reflex #31

This video covers
- The structure (anatomy) of the eye
- How the iris reflex works and allows us to respond to changes in light intensity
Exam board specific info:
AQA - Only triple/separate science
IGCSE Edexcel - Appropriate for all courses
Edexcel - Only triple/separate science
OCR 21st Century - Only triple/separate science
OCR Gateway - Only triple/separate science. Also don't need to know the iris reflex in response to light intensity, so only the first part about structure

    Since they cornea absorbs oxygen only by diffusion directly from the air, then if a person sleeps and closes his/her eyelid, the cells in the cornea wouldn't respire any way right? And consider if a person sleeps for a long time, say 10 hours. Does that have an effect on the cells of the cornea and its job in the eye?

If blood were to flow through it, the cornea would be red since blood itself isn't transparent, and the red veins in the eye when having tiresome eyes seems very obvious and clear the eye is redish that time.
