The Visual System

The visual system is the part of your body that allows you to see and interpret the world around you. It starts with the eyes, which detect light and color, turning them into signals sent to the brain. The brain processes these signals to recognize shapes, movement, distance, and depth, creating a visual image. This system involves complex interactions between the eyes, nerves, and brain regions, enabling you to perceive your environment accurately and respond appropriately. It is essential for everyday activities like reading, driving, and social interaction.
