Your eyes are always working! They take in tons of information 

about the world around you — shapes, colors, movements, and 

more. Then they send info and stuff to your brain so the brain 

knows what's going on in the outside world. 

Now lets talk about the parts of the eye! The dark circle in the 

center of the eye is called an iris. Inside the iris is the pupil, which 

is a small black spot. In a dark room, your pupil is big while in a 

well lit room the pupil will be little. Light then passes through the 

cornea, and the lens to reach the retina. The optic nerves take 

the upside down image from the retina to the brain. The brain 

then inverts the image and makes sense of it. 

Glaucoma - A group of eye conditions that can cause 

blindness.

Myopia - A condition in which close objects appear clearly, but 

far ones don't

Astigmatism – A vision condition that causes blurred vision 

due to an irregular shape of the cornea, or an imperfection in 

the eye’s curvature

Presbyopia – gradual loss of the eyes ability to focus on 

nearby objects. Usually occurs in the middle and old age

Cataract – Clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye

Conjunctivitis - Inflammation or infection of the outer 

membrane of the eyeball and the inner eyelid.

Your ears hear everything! They take the sounds, make them 

make sense, and then send the sound messages to the brain.   But 

that is not all they do! Ear also help your balance, so you don't fall 

over!

The war is divided into three different sections: the outer ear, the 

middle ear, and the inner ear. These parts all work together so you 

can hear and process sounds!

Otitis – An ear infection. An inflammation of the inner, middle, 

or outer ear, often with infection.

Meniere’s Disease – An inner ear disorder that causes episodes 

of vertigo (spinning)

Otosclerosiss – A hereditary disorder where there is excessive 

growth in the bones of the middle ear that gradually cause 

deafness

Presbycusis – age related hearing loss

The muscle for talking and tasting! The front of the tongue is 

super flexible and can move around a lot; this is how it can 

make words. This part also helps you eat because it moves the 

food while you chew it! 

The back of your tongue is just as important! Once the food is 

all chewed up and mixed with some spit, the back muscles start 

working. They move and push small bits of food along with spit 

into your esophagus, which is a food tube that goes from your 

throat to your tummy.

Aguesia – loss of the sense of taste

Hypoguesia – a reduced ability to taste
