A

Transparent and avascular

suspensory ligaments from the ciliary body

19
Q

Aqueous humour - definition? function? produced by? drained by? glaucoma?

A

Watery fluid
Intraocular pressure
Ciliary body
Trabecular meshwork of the anterior chambre
Obstruction of pathway, increased AH, increased PA

20

Vitreous humour - definition? function?

A

Transparent gel

Cushion the retina

21
Q

Conjunctiva - definition? anatomy (4)

A

Thin vascular membrane covers inner surface of eyelid and loops back over sclera (not cover cornea)
Inferior and superior fornix
Palpebral conjunctiva
Ocular conjunctiva

22
Q

A

Above the eye
Facial nerve
During each blink, eyelid spreads tears evenly over surface of cornea
Drainage through punctae into lacrimal sac (over lacrimal bone) into the nasolacrimal duct into the inferior meatus of the nasal cavity
