Q
What is the Lacrimal caruncle?
A
Produces oily secretion
- located on the medial commissure
3
Q
what is the Conjunctiva?
A
Inner surface of eyelid; secretes mucus

Q
what makes up the Lacrimal apparatus?
A
1.) Lacrimal glands
2.) Lacrimal canaliculus
3.) Lacrimal sac

Q
What are the three internal layer of the eye?
A
- Fibrous layer= outer connective tissue layer
- Vascular layer (uvea)= middle layer
- Sensory layer= innermost layer
9
Q
what does the Fibrous layer consist of?

- Sclera= white of the eye
- Cornea= transparent anterior structure for light entry
10
Q
What does the vascular layer consist of (uvea)?
A
- Iris= most anterior part
- Ciliary body= found anteriorly; made of ciliary muscles (controls lens shape) and ciliary processes (secretes aqueous humor).
- Choroid= found posteriorly; blood-rich nutritive layer containing dark pigments preventing light scattering.
