🗑
Ducts in the corner of the eye. Also provides lubrication for the eyes.   Nasolacrimal ducts  
🗑
True white portion of the eyes. Gives the outercoat to the eye. Helps maintain the shape of the eye.   Sclera  
🗑

🗑
Helps suspend the lens in the eye   Ciliary body  
🗑
Contains rods and cones. Receives info via the optic nerve and optic disk   Retina  
🗑
The axon portion of the rods and cones come together and form this   Optic Nerve  
🗑
Cone and rod fibers leave the retina and become part of the optic nerve, forming this   Optic Disk or Blindspot  
🗑

🗑
Means jelly-like, also help give the eyeball its shape   Vitrous Humor  
🗑

🗑
Suspended by ciliary body, is the divider between the Aquaeous Humor and Vitrous Humor.   Lens  
🗑
When the lens of the eyes sees close up and not far away. Also called near-sightedness   Myopia  
🗑
When the lens of the eyes sees far away and not close up. Also called far-sightedness   Hyperopia  
🗑
Moves the eyeball along with the Oculomotor nerve.   Extrinsic Muscles  
🗑
Autonomic movement of the eyeball   Intrinsic Muscles  
🗑
Colored area of the eye that acts to regulates the amount of light received into the eye through the pupil   Iris  
🗑
The opening center of the Iris   Pupil  
🗑
Nerve supply to the eye:   Optic, Ophthalmic branch of the Trigeminal, Oculomotor  
🗑
Nerve made up of the axons from rods and cones   Optic Nerve  
🗑
Nerve that detects pain and touch in the eye   Ophthalmic branch of the Trigeminal  
🗑
Muscle that provides involuntary and voluntary impulses to the eye. Moves the eye left and right, up and down.   Oculomotor  
🗑
Steps of vision:   Light hits the cornea, through Aquaeous Humor, through Iris via pupil, back through Aquaeous Humor to lens, through Vitrous Humor, then to retina via rods & cones, to optic nerve, then crosses at optic chiasma, into occipital lobe for intrepretation.
