OCAP Flashcards
The anterior 1/6 of the eyeball is the _____________________
cornea
The oily layer of the tear flm is produced by the
meibomian gland
Vascular layer providing nutrients to the avascular layer of the eye
Middle vascular tunic/choroid
The thickened portion of the vascular layer is called
ciliary body
the sphincter pupillae muscle causes the pupil tomuscin
constrict
What layer of the tear film is the thinnest and the innermost?
mucin/mucoid layer
T/f
The bowman’s membrane is resistant to trauma thus can regenerate once destroyed
false
the bowman’s membrane does not regenerate
Anterior epithelium of the cornea regenerate every 14 days to prevent scar formation
false
7days lang beh
T/F
The radius of curvature of the central cornea is 7.8mm posteriorly
False
Anteriorly: 7.8mm
Posteriorly: 6.5mm
The layer which transmits electrical impulses
Inner nervous tunic - retina
T/F
the corneal stroma is composed of type IV collagen fibers
false
The corneal stroma is composed of lamellae of collagen fibrils arranged in a regular lattice (type I, III, V, VI)
The structure serving as attachment sites for EOM
sclera
Rods and cones are present in the neural layer
true
Junction in between the wing cells of the anterior epithelium
Zonula occludens/tight junctions
T/F
The jelly like fluid inside the posterior cavity of the eye is called the aqueous humor
False
Vitreous humor
The cornea and the sclera are connected by a ring called
limbus
forms the posterior 5/6 of the eye
sclera
Secretes aqueous humor
ciliary process
T/F
Bruch’s membrane is the innermost layer of the choroid
true
also known as lamina vitrea, lamina elastica, basal lamina, lamina basalis choroideae
T/F
A prolate shaped cornea has a steeper curvature at the periphery
False
A prolate shaped cornea has a steeper curvature at the center, flatter at the periphery
The middle layer of the eye is also known as
nutritive layer
