Q

The membrane that covers the sclera (could be pigmented):

A

29
Q

The middle vascular tunic is also knows as the:

A

uvea
“uva” = grape

30
Q

The middle vascular tunic consists of what 3 key structures?

A

iris; ciliary body; choroid

31
Q

Eye “color” and adjusts thr size of the pupil:

A

iris

32
Q

Plays an important role in accommodation of the lens:

A

ciliary body

33
Q

Provides blood to the most caudal portion of the eyeball:

A

choroid

34
Q

The most anterior portion of the middle vascular tunic is the:

A

iris

35
Q

Divides the space between the lens and cornea into anterior and posterior chambers that communicate through the pupil:

A

iris

36
Q

Both the anterior and posterior chambers are filled with _____ _____.

A

aqueous humor

37
Q

When you see red eyes, you are seeing blood vessels running through _____ muscle.

A

smooth

38
Q

The iris contains 2 layers of smooth muscle. What are they?

A

sphincter of the pupil; dilator of the pupil

39
Q

The sphincter in cats is _____, while the sphincter in dogs is circular.

A

oblique

40
Q

The dilator of the pupil is always _____ shaped.

A

round

41
Q

Constriction of the pupil of the eye:

A

miosis

42
Q

Dilation of the pupil of the eye:

A

mydriasis

43
Q

The sphincter of the pupil is associated with [miosis/mydriasis].

A

miosis

44
Q

The dilator of the pupil is associated with [miosis/mydriasis].

A

mydriasis

45
Q

Lights on -> pupils contract -> miosis
Is this GVE parasympathetic or sympathetic?

A

parasympathetic

46
Q

Lights off -> dilate pupil -> mydriasis
Is this GVE parasympathetic or sympathetic?

A

sympathetic

47
Q

State of absolute or partial paralysis of pupillary constriction unilaterally or bilaterally (no response to light with consistent dilation):

A

paralytic mydriasis

48
Q

Regulates refraction of light hitting the retina to focus vision:

A

lens

49
Q

Suspends the lens and regulates its curvature:

A

ciliary body

50
Q

A raised ring with ridges converging toward the lens in the center:

A

ciliary body

51
Q

Smooth _____ muscle do the accommodation of the lens.

A

ciliary

52
Q

The ability of the eye to focus on near or distant objects by changing the shape of the lens:

A

accommodation

53
Q

Tendons that contract or relax to change the shape of the lens, making it spheric or flat.

A

zonular fibers

54
Q

The lens is spherical, so it can focus on things better if they are [closer/farther away].

A

closer

55
Q
