Olinger Eye Flashcards
Posterior chamber of the eye
Behind iris, before lens
Vitreous Layer
Everything posterior to posterior chamber
Outer Tunic
Sclera and cornea
Sclera
White of eye, absorbs light
Cornea
Transparent part of the eye
Middle tunic (Uvea)
Iris, ciliary processes, choroid
Iris
Pigmented part of the eye
Ciliary processes
used for focusing
Choroid
Blood of middle tunic
Inner tunic
Retina - has “seeing” neurons
Limbus
Transition zone between sclera and cornea
Part of outer tunic
Layers of the cornea (from anterior to posterior)
Core and epithelium, bowman’s layer, storms, descemet’s membrane, corneal endothelium
Corneal epithelium
Has hemidesmosomes where one end is attached to the next layer (bowman’s capsule)
What is present in the stroma of the cornea?
Fibroblasts
Corneal endothelium
Semi-permeable and not air tight - some things can get through it
CIliary Body
Posterior lined with epithelium but anterior chamber is not
Aqueous humor
Fluid like
Vitreous humor
Gel like
Sphincter of the pupil
Sphincter papillae m
Dilator Pupillae
Contraction caused pupil dilation
Anterior chamber of eye
Everything anterior to iris
Fovea
Where you see things the clearest
Papilla
Area where there is no photoreceptor cells
“Blind spot” of the retina
Where are the axons dumped into the optic nerve
Papilla
Inner tunic location
Lines inner portion of the cornea
Rods
light
Cones
Color
10 layers of the retina
Inner limiting membrane Nerve fiber layer Ganglion cell layer Inner plexiform layer Inner nuclear layer Outer plexiform layer Outer nuclear layer Outer limiting membrane Inner and outer segments of rods and cones Pigmented epithelium
Inner limiting membrane
In direct contact with vitreous
Nerve fiber layer
Axons of ganglion cells
Make up optic n
Ganglion cell layer
Axons to make up optic n
Inner nuclear layer
Bipolar cell body cells
Outer plexiform layer
Where synapse takes place
Outer nuclear layer
Cell body and nuclei of photoreceptor
Bipolar cells
In inner nuclear layer
1 dendrite end, 1 axon end
Take in for for the rod and cell to send to ganglion cell
Photoreceptor cells
In deepest layer
Choroid
Blood vessels
Where do we see the best
Fovea centralis
Where is the blind spot
Optic disk - all axons converge on one stop
