In this cornea layer, it is an acellular of collagen bundles and it separates the stroma from the endothelium.

Descemet's membrane

This cornea layer is a single layer of large squamous cells.

Corneal endothelium

This part of the vascular tunic (uvea) contains the ciliary muscles (flatten and thicken lens) and produces aqueous humor.

Ciliary body

This part of the vascular tunic (uvea) extends anterior to ora serrata of the retina. It's highly vascularized with loose connective tissue. It also has Bruch's (glassy) membrane.

Choroid

This part of the vascular tunic (uvea) is located anterior to the lens and separates the anterior and posterior chambers. It surrounds the pupil and has an angle.

Iris

The more ________ the darker the iris is.

Melanocytes

The inner tunic contains the retina which is divided into two subdivisions divided by the ora serrata. These divisions are...

Nonphotosensitive (anterior) | Photosensitive (posterior)

This part of the retina is a region on the posterior aspect of the eye where the optic nerve exits. It has no photosensitive retina and constitutes the blind spot.

Optic disc

This part of the retina is a region lateral to the optic disc. It contains yellow pigment and contains only cone-type photoreceptors. Area of most acute vision.

Fovea centralis

The photosensitive region of the retina that lies posterior to the ora serrata contains ____ and ____.

Rods; Cones

The eye has 3 chambers, which are...

Anterior chamber Posterior chamber Vitreal chamber

_______ is increased intraocular pressure due to compromised drainage of aqueous humor from anterior chamber.

Glaucoma

The _______ chamber is posterior to cornea and anterior to iris.

The _______ chamber is posterior to iris and anterior to lens.

Posterior

The _______ chamber is posterior to the lens. It contains the vitreous body, a gelatinous mass made up of 99% water, hyaluronic acid, and vitrein.

Vitreal

The _____ _____ is made up of axons of ganglion cells.

Optic nerve

There are 2 types of photoreceptors in the eye which are...

Rods | Cones

This type of photoreceptor uses rhodopsin as photopigment.

Rods

This type of photoreceptor uses three different kinds of iodopsins as photopigment.

Cones

This photoreceptor is responsible for seeing black and white.

Rods

This photoreceptor is responsible for seeing color.

Cones

Each cone cell synapses with a single (BIPOLAR/MULTIPOLAR) cell.

Bipolar

Axons of up to 100 rods synapse with a single (BIPOLAR/MULTIPOLAR) cell.

Bipolar

Rods and cones contain _____. In rods, they detach from cell membrane and become free. In cones, they remain attached to the cell membrane.
