25
Q

A
  • Fibrous
  • Vascular
  • Neural
26
Q

  • Anterior chamber
  • Posterior chamber
  • Vitreous chamber
27
Q

  • (Air)
  • Cornea
  • Aqueous humor
  • Lens
  • Vitreous Body
28
Q

A 
• Outermost layer of globe
•Sclera
-White & fibrous
- Posterior 5/6 of eyeball
- Protection & support
• Cornea
- Clear elevated part
- Anterior 1/6 of eyeball
- Refractive element
(most of the refractio of light occurs at the
interface of the air and surface of the cornea)
29
Q

Name contents of vascular coat, which layer is it?:

A

Middle layer

  • Choroid
  • Ciliary body
  • Iris
30
Q

•Describe the Choroid Layer of vascular coat

A
  • Vascular
  • External to retina
  • Terminates near ciliary body
31
Q

Describe the Ciliary body

A 
vascular coat - deep to choroid layer

• Ciliary processes
• Contains glands that produces “aqueous
humor”(fluid of the anterior and posterior
chambers)
32
Q

Describe the ciliary muscle actions/innervations:

A 
Relaxation = lens is stretched
Contraction = lens is thickened = more refraction
  • Ciliary muscle is a sphincteric-type smooth muscle
  • Action is to pull ciliary body anteriorly and inward
  • Releases tension on suspensory ligament, allowing the lens to thicken
  • Postsynaptic parasympathetics (CN III) innervate ciliary muscle
