,

(b) Both

,

Retina contains rods for black and white vision and cones for color vision

Visual accommodation can last 30 min - few hours

Nictitating membrane acts as a bottom eyelid

Two eyelids protect the eye and use eyelashes to block debris

Spherical lens (very round)

Tapetum lucidum enables night vision by bouncing light through retina an extra time

Lens accommodates far vision by stretching and close vision by condensing

Aqueous humor in anterior chamber

Visual accommodation takes seconds

Vitreous humor in posterior chamber

Optical nerve carries visual information to the brain for interpretation

Lens with flattened surface

Iris dilates pupil to allow more light when dim and constricts to limit light when bright
