Eyes, etc

        Help!  

What is it called again?
Look! It's the definition!
Eyes   Have 3 tunics, 2 humors, and secretions. You can only see 1/6th of the eye, the rest is covered by fat and bones. 70% of all sensory receptors are located in the eye.  
🗑
Lacrima   (S) secrete saline solution through canals (nasolacrimal duct --> nasal cavity) *contains antibodies & lysozyme  
🗑
Conjunctiva   (S) covers outer surface of eye; secretes mucus  
🗑
Conjuctivitis   pinkeye  
🗑
Ciliary   (S) modified sweat glands between eyelashes (watery)  
🗑
Meibomian   (S) sebaceous glands on eyelid edges (oily)  
🗑
Aqueous   (H) anterior to the lens; clear, watery  
🗑
Glaucoma   blocked drainage of aqueous humor; increased pressure --> pain, blindness; symptoms (slow to show) arehalos, headaches, and blurry vision  
🗑
Vitreous   (H) posterior to lens; gel-like  
🗑
Chloroid   (T) blood rich, dark pigment, keeps light from scattering; anterior to Iris  
🗑
Fovea Centralis   (T) lateral to optic disc; has only cones; gives you sharpest vision  
🗑
Retina   (T) sensory, delicate, white, abalone-esque, contains millions of receptors  
🗑
Rods   (part of retina) give you "night-vision;" beta-carotene is very good; densest at periphery  
🗑
Cones   (part of retina) give you color vision, details; densest at center  
🗑
Colorblindness   When one or more of the cones which filters only green, blue and red light, does not work  
🗑
Optic Disc   (part of Fovea Centralis) no photoreceptors where optic nerve leaves retina  
🗑
Lens   focus light on retina (flexible biconvex structure); attatched to ciliary body by ligaments; lets you focus  
🗑
Cataracts   when the lens becomes hard, opaque; symptoms are: hazy vision, blindness  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.

To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
