16
Q

Iridocorneal angle

A

-Circumferential region/space
-space between cornea and iris that regulates the flow of aqueous humor

17
Q

Layers/tunics of the eye:

A

-fibrous tunic (tunica fibrosa)
-vascular tunic (tunica vasculosa)
-neural tunic (tunica interna)

18
Q

Fibrous tunic

A

-cornea
-sclera

19
Q

Vascular tunic

A

-iris
-ciliary body
-choroid

20
Q

Neural tunic

21
Q

Sclera

A

-opaque
-protects, shapes, and anchors muscles to the eye

22
Q

Cornea

A

-transparent window for light refraction
-2/3rds total optical power of the eye

23
Q

Iris

A

-acts as diaphragm to regulate light entering pupil

24
Q

Ciliary body functions:

A

-accommodation
-aqueous humor production
-maintenance of zonules

25
Choroid
-provide nutrients/remove waste from outer retina -passage of nerves/vessels -absorption of excess light -regulates emmetropization
26
Retina
-absorbs photons of light -convert photons into neural signals -rods/cones -spatial encoding -10 retinal layers
27
Optic nerve
-transmits all visual info to visual cortex -neurological reflexes (light and accommodation) -blind spot (secondary to absence of photoreceptors)
28
Anterior pole of the globe
The reference point used to describe any eye movements
29
Vitreous cavity takes up about ___ of the eye
80%
30
Function of the vitreous cavity
-holds retina against the choroid -shock absorption -metabolite storage (antioxidants) -transmits and refracts light
31
Limbus is the…
Region where sclera transitions to cornea
32
Anterior segment contains:
Anterior chamber and posterior chamber
33
Anterior segment contains:
Anterior chamber and posterior chamber
