Study Notes

Eye Anatomy and Function

  • Anterior chamber: The fluid-filled space located between the cornea and the iris.
  • Iris: A structure that regulates the amount of light entering the posterior segment of the eye.
  • Aqueous humor: Found in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye.

True/False Statements

  • The iris does not divide the eye into anterior and posterior segments (false).
  • The pupil cannot adjust its size independently of the iris (false).

Fibrous Layer

  • The fibrous layer consists of the sclera and cornea.
  • Sclera: The largest portion of the fibrous layer.
  • Cornea: The first structure that allows light to enter the eye.

Visual Pathway

  • Optic nerve: The cranial nerve that transmits visual information from the eyeball to the brain.

Observations in Cow Eye

  • The fibrous layer can be observed entirely from the superficial surface of the cow eye (true).

Muscular Structures

  • Ciliary body: The muscular structure responsible for anchoring the lens in place.

Eye Interiors

  • Vitreous body: Located in the posterior segment of the eye, it provides structural support.
  • Retina: Identifies the neural layer of the eye.
  • Choroid: Recognized as the highly vascular structure of the eye.

Additional Eye Features

  • Optic disc: Known as the blind spot; a region sensitive to light absence.
  • Vitreous body mischaracterization: Incorrectly stated to consist of a thin, watery fluid.
