16
Q

Cornea

A

In fibrous layer and transparent

17
Q

Choroid

A

In vascular layer
brown membrane lining the Sclera
Absorbs light

18
Q

Ciliary body

A

In vascular layer and connected to lens by ligaments

made of smooth muscle

19
Q

Iris

A

In vascular layer

Colored part regulating amount of light

20
Q

Pupil

A

In vascular layer
opening in the Iris
Black dot

21
Q

Lens

A
In vascular layer 
Behind pupil and iris
Transparent when healthy
Controls shape of eye as it focuses
Cataracts=milky colored=unhealthy 
Shape changed by accommodation
Separate eye into anterior/posterior
22
Q

Aqueous humor

A

Watery fluid in chambers of anterior eye and is continuously recycled
Absorbed into canal is shlemm

23
Q

Glaucoma

A

High eye pressure

24
Q

Vitreous humor

A

Gel fluid in posterior cavity and is not recycled through bloodstream

25
Q

Retina

A

Part of nervous layer
lines the posterior wall
Detects light and transports impulses to the optic nerve
Made of photoreceptor cells (nearest choroid) and bipolar neurons and ganglion cells(inner layer)

26
Q

Photoreceptors

A

In retina
Respond to light
Rods cells (sense light)
Cone cells (sense color but need more light)

27
Q

Bipolar neurons

A

In retina

Transmit signal to inner layer made of ganglion cells

28
Q

Ganglion cells

A

Have large axons forming the optic nerve

29
Q

Optic disc

A

Blind spot where images are focused

30
Q

Macula lutea

A

Yellowish spot near center of retina containing fovea centralis

31
Q

Fovea centralis

A

Depression full of come cells

32
Q

Emmetropic

A

Normal eye

33
Q

Myopia

A

Eye is too long
image focused in front of the retina distant objects blurred nearsightedness
fixed with a concave lens

34
Q

Hyperopia

A

Farsightedness
image focused behind retina
eye too short
fixed with convex lens
