A

keeps eye shape

32
Q

What is the function of the aqueous humor?

A

provides nourishment

33
Q

What is the function of the cornea?

A

allows light to enter and helps focus the eye

34
Q

What is the function of the pupil?

A

Opening in which light passes (i.e. lets light pass through)

35
Q

What adjusts the size of the pupil to control the amount of light that enters the eye?

36
Q

What is the function of the eye’s lens?

A

absorbs, focuses, and directs incoming light from retina.

Q

What is the spall pit in the retina that is responsible for resolution?

40
Q

What is the function of the ora serrata?

A

marks the transition from the simple, non-photosensitive area of the ciliary body to the complex, multi-layered, photosensitive region of the retina
