Eyeball (bulbus oculi) has ___ thin tunics
3
what are the three thin tunics of the eyeball (bulbus oculi)
External fibrous tunic
Middle vascular tunic
Internal nervous tunic
what tunic of the eyeball does this action:
Gives form to and protects the eyeball
External fibrous tunic
what tunic of the eyeball does this action:
Blood vessels and smooth muscle, nutrition of the eyeball and the regulation of the shape of the lens and size of the pupil
Middle vascular tunic
what tunic of the eyeball does this action:
Translation of visual stimuli into nerve impulses
Internal nervous tunic:
what 2 things make up the External fibrous tunic
Cornea
Sclera
T/F the Sclera is ALWAYS white
TRUE
Outermost transparent layer of the eye that helps focus light and protect the eye.
Forms about one quarter of
the fibrous tunic
Cornea
White, fibrous tissue that covers the outside of
the eye, extending from the cornea to the
optic nerve
Sclera

Iris, Ciliary body, Choroid
Adjusts the size of the pupil. Divides the space between the lens and cornea into anterior and posterior chambers that communicate through the pupil.
Both are filled with aqueous humor
Iris
