| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Eyelids | protect and help keep eye moist |
| Eyelashes | Contain glands at base of lash, oily secretion lubricates eye |
| Conjunctiva | membrane that lines the eyelids and connects to outer surface of the eye |
| Lacrimal Apparatus | includes gland and ducts, produces fluid (tears) to protect, moisten and lubricate eye. |
| Lacrimal fluid | (tears) contains: * dilute salt solution * mucus * antibodies & enzymes |
| Extrinsic Muscles | Six muscles attached to outer surface of the eye * Produce eye movements to follow objects |
| Fibrous Layer | (outside layer) |
| Sclera | "white part" of the eye |
| Cornea | clear covering over iris & pupil Most exposed part of eye Well supplied with nerve (pain) receptors Extraordinary ability to repair itself Only tissue in body when transplanted there is no worry of rejection (beyond reach of the immune system) |
| Vascular Layer | middle layer |
| Choroid | posterior. dark pigment |
| Ciliary body | anterior, attaches to lens |
| Iris | colored part, made of smooth muscle |
| Pupil | opening within iris, allows light to lens |
| Sensory Layer | inside layer including retina, rods, cones, fovia centralis, optic nerves, and optic disks |
| Retina | inside of the back of the eyeball |
| Rods | photoreceptor for low light |
| Cones | photoreceptor for color |
| Fovia Centralis | high concentration of cones, point of greatest visual acuity |
| Optic disc | blind spot at optic nerve |
| Optic nerve | sends impulses to optic cortex |
| Lens | biconcave, crystal-like |
| Chambers | anterior to lens holds aqueous humor posterior to lens holds vitreous humor |
| Ophthalmoscope | *Illuminates interior of eyeball Used to detect: *diabetes *arteriosclerosis *degeneration of the optic nerve and retina |
| hyperopia | condition of the eye in which parallel rays are focused behind the retina, distant objects being seen more distinctly than near ones; farsightedness |
| Refracted | To deflect something, especially light, from a straight path by refraction. |
| Accommodation Of Eye | In medicine, the ability of the eye to change its focus from distant to near objects (and vice versa). This process is achieved by the lens changing its shape. |
| myopia | Nearsightedness, the ability to see close objects more clearly than distant objects |
| Astigmatism | a common type of visual problem that partly blurs an image. This is because there is irregularity in the curve of the front surface of the eye |
| Accommodation Pupillary Reflex | Reflex constriction of pupils when viewing close objects |
| Aqueous humor | Fluid in the anterior segment that provides nutrients to the lens and cornea |
| Vitreous Humor | Gel-like substance that helps to reinforce the eyeball |
| Choroid | Heavily pigmented layer that prevents light scattering within the eyes |
| Color Blindness | Color blindness occurs when there is a problem with the color-sensing granules (pigments) in certain nerve cells of the eye. These cells are called cones. They are found in the retina, the light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye. |
| Tapetum Lucidum | The tapetum lucidum (Latin: "bright tapestry", plural tapeta lucida) is a layer of tissue in the eye of many vertebrate.. |
| Convergence Reflex | responsible for keeping the eyes aligned and focused on an object. |
