Our eyes and
ears might be called transformers since they sense the light and sound around
us and turn them into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret. These
electrical impulses that have been transformed by the eye and ear reach the
brain and are turned into messages that we can interpret. For the eye, the
process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the
cornea and lens, and then
focuses them on
the retina. At the back of each eye, nerve fibers bundle together to form optic
nerves, which join and then split into two optic tracts. Some of the
fibers cross, so that part of the input from the right visual field goes
into the left side of the brain, and vice versa. The process in the ear is carried
out through sensory cells that are carried in fluid- filled canals and that
are extremely sensitive to vibration. Sound that is transformed into
electricity travels along nerve fibers in the auditory nerve. These fibers
Form a synapsis
with neurons that carry the messages to the auditory cortex on each side of the
brain.
