What are the functions of the Lacrimal glands? Tears ---> prevent Infection
How many Extrinsic Muscles are there? 6: 4 Rectus, 2 Oblique
What is the histology of the Conjunctiva? Mucous Membrane and Blood Vessels
Where is the Conjunctiva located and what does it look like? Outermost membrane, not visible unless Blood Vessels are dilated/irritated
What is teh function of the Conjunctiva? Seals the Orbit
What is tehfunction of the Sclera? to support Spherical shape
What is the Histology of the Sclera? Dense, Irregular CT
What does the Cornea look like and where is it located? Transparent, Convex - Anterior circle of Sclera
What is the Histology of the Cornea? Dense, Regular CT
What is the function of the Cornea? Preliminary Focus (close/far) - refraction of light
What are the layers of the Middle Eye? 1. Choroid; 2. Ciliary Body; 3. Lens; 4. Iris
What is the Histology of the Choroid? Areolar CT, Melanin, Ciliary Vessels
What is the function of the Choroid? supplies o2 to Sclera, Absorbs Light
Where is the Choroid located? between the Sclera and Retina
What is the Histology of the Ciliary Body? serrated ring of Smooth Muscles
Where is the Ciliary Body located? Anterior portion of Choroid
What is the function of the Ciliary Body? supports the Lens
What is the Histology of the Lens? Avascular, Stratified Squamous Epithelium and Protein fibers
How does the Lens change its shape? via Ciliary Muscles
What happens to the Lens over time? Lees Pliable, Cloudy/Opaque
