Q

The Eyes drinage system components

A

trabecularmeshwork

Schlemm’scanal

26
Q

middle, vascular layer of the eye

A

Uveal tract

27
Q

middle layer of eye

A

Iris
Ciliarybody
Choroid

28
Q

contributes to the blood supply of the retina

A

Choroid

29
Q

Colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light that enters the eye

A

iris

30
Q

hole at the center of the iris that, size is controlled by the iris muscles

A

pupil

31
Q

Accounts for the variety of eye colors seen

Dependent on the amount of pigment in the iris

A

Pigmented posterioir surface

32
Q

COmposition of pimented posterioor surgace

A

Blood vessels, connective tissue, melanocytesand pigment cells

33
Q

WHat muscles does the iris contain

A

dilator and sphincter muscles

34
Q

Contraction of the sphincter muscle:

A

pupil constriction

35
Q

pupil dilation

A

Contraction of the dilator muscles

36
Q

Major circle of the iris

A

blood supply of iris

37
Q

innervaton of iris

A

ciliarynerves

38
Q

Circular opening at the center of the iris

Adjusts the amount of light entering the eye

A

pupil

39
Q

2 determinants of pupillary size

A

constriction (parasympathetic activity –CN III)

dilation due to sympathetic activity

40
Q

Structure of the eye that produces aqueous humor

A

CIliary body

41
Q

Changes seen in contraction of ciliary body

A

Changes the tension of the zonularfibers suspending the lens

Change in tension leads to increased thickness of the lens allows eye to focus at near objects (accommodation)

42
Q

Vascular, pigmented layer between the sclera(externally) and the retina (internally)

A

Choroid

43
Q

Provides blood supply to the outer retinal layers

A

Choroid

44
Q

Suspended in place by zonulefibers

A

Lens

45
Q

What suspend the lens in place

Equatorial diameter: 9.0 to 10mm

47
Q

narrow space behind the iris and in front of the zonulefibers
Space anterior to the crystalline lens
Filled with aqueous humor
Normally acellular

A

Posterior chamber

48
Q

Large space behind the lens

Extends up to the retina

A

supplies inner 1/3 of the retina

A

Central retinal artery

55
Q

wHAT IS BEING SUPPLIED BY THE CHOROIDAL ARTERIES

A

Supplied by the ophthalmic artery

Supplies outer 2/3 of the retina

56
Q

Area of the retina responsible for fine, central vision
