Read the following passages choose the correct answers.
One 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 impulse that have been thansformed 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
fibres bundle together to form optic nerves, which join and then split into two optic tracts. Some of the fibres cross, so
that part of the input from the right visual field gose 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 fibres in the auditory nerve. There fibres form a Synapsis
with neurons that carry the messages to the auditory cortex on each side of the brain.
