Q

EXPLAIN HOW AQUEOUS HUMOUR GETS INTO SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION

A
  1. AQUEOUS HUMOUR WITH THE HELP OF THE CARBONIC ANHYDRASE GOES THROUGH THE CILIARY BODY EPITHELIUM TO THE POSTERIOR CHAMBER
  2. FROM THE POSTERIOR CHAMBER IT GOES TO THE ANTERIOR LENS THEN TO THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER WHICH IS BETWEEN THE PECTINATE LIGAMENTS
  3. IT PASSES THROUGH THE IRIDOCORNEAL ANGLE
  4. THEN INTO THE SCLERA VEINS TO GET TO SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION
