Vision SESE Flashcards
Covers posterior surface of the eye lids and anterior surface of the sclera
- mucus membrane which serves as moist layer of epithelial tisue that has multiple functions or aborption and secretion
Conjunctiva
Stimulus
Cranial nerve 2
Visual cortex
Vision
Transduction
Formed by connective tissue and covers the posterior 5/6 of the globe
- continous with the dur matter
- perforated by many nerves and vessels passing through the posterior scleral foramen
Sclera
Anterior structure and is composed of a circular diaphragm with a pupil
Iris
Inner aspect contain of light that enters
Iris
Inner aspect contain ciliary processes which secrete aqueous humor
Ciliary body
Vascular layer
Choroid
Sensory
- contains nerves is transparent
Retina
Where the optic nerve exits iut of the eyeball, blind spot, no iion at this point
Optic disc
Most sensitive spot wher the ones are concentrated
Macula
An area of depression at the center of the macula
Fovea
2 main blood suulies of the retina
Central retinal artery
Choroidal arteries
Structure anterior to the lens and zonula
Anterior chamber
All structures posterior to the lens and onula
Posterior chamber
A crystalline structure that divides the anterior and posterior hamber
- biconvex
- covered by a capsule
- reponsible for the principle of accomodation
Lens
Lens suspended from the ciliary bidy by fine delicate fibers called
Zonule or suspensory ligament
Maintains sufficient pressure in the eyeball to keep ir distended
Fluid system of the eye
Ciliary process mainly produce this
Aqueuos humor
Component of aqueous humor
98.9% water
Protein, glucose, Na, K, Cl,
Ascorbic osmotic pressure is higher than
Plasma
Aqueous humor produced at ______ which should be matched by draining____ to maintain ______
2-3uL/ min
2.5uL/ min
10-20 mmHg IOP
Clear gel that makes up about 80% of the eyes volume
Posterior
Vitreous humor
Active secretion of Na involving ATP
Formation of aqueous humor
Vitreous humor formed as an active secretionby the epthelium of the
Ciliary process
