The greater thecurvature, therefore, the sooner are the rays brought to a focusin the case of the convex lens. There are other optical principles illustrated in the apparatusof vision, that will be brought out in the description of theeye, which I will now proceed to give. 436. The arrangement of the different parts of the eye youcan understand by Fig. 159, which is a mere map of a sectionof the eye, through its middle part from front to rear. It isintended merely to represent the arrangement of the parts dis-tinctly, without strict regard to proportion. The eye has three 290 HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY. Description of the parts of the eye. FIG. 159.
