Anatomy of the Eye Quiz

The outermost layer of the eyeball, providing protection and structure.

The middle layer of the eyeball, responsible for blood supply and nourishment.

The innermost layer of the eyeball, containing light-sensitive cells for vision.

The three layers that make up the structure of the eyeball.

The spherical structure that contains the eye's internal parts.

The tough, white outer layer of the eyeball that provides protection and maintains its shape.

The transparent, curved front part of the eye that bends light to focus it on the retina.

The junction where the sclera and cornea meet. This area is crucial for connecting the two layers.

A black, vascular layer beneath the sclera that provides blood supply and nourishment to the eye.

The tough, outermost layer of the eyeball, protecting the eye from external injury. Composed of fibrous tissue.

The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical impulses.

A clear, fluid found in the front chamber of the eye between the cornea and lens. It nourishes the cornea and maintains intraocular pressure.

A jelly-like substance found in the back chamber of the eye behind the lens. It helps maintain the shape of the eyeball and holds the retina in place.

A transparent, biconvex structure located behind the cornea. It changes shape to focus light onto the retina.

The process by which the lens changes shape to focus light on the retina, allowing us to see things at different distances.

The movement of the pupil downward, or inferiorly.

The movement of the pupil laterally, or away from the nose.

The movement of the pupil medially, or toward the nose.

The superior rectus muscle is responsible for elevating the eye. This movement involves raising the pupil upwards.

The superior rectus muscle is innervated by the oculomotor nerve, also known as the third cranial nerve.

The thin, pigmented layer of the retina that absorbs excess light, preventing it from scattering.

This layer contains the nerve cells crucial for vision, including photoreceptor cells that are sensitive to light.

These cells convert light into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.

A condition where the pressure inside the eye increases due to a blockage in the drainage of aqueous humor.

A transparent, jelly-like substance filling the back of the eye behind the lens.

The fluid found in the front part of the eye, between the cornea and lens.

The clear, flexible structure in the eye that focuses light onto the retina.

The condition caused by pressure buildup inside the eye due to blocked drainage of aqueous humor.

The watery, transparent fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the lens.

It helps maintain the shape of the eye from the inside.

It bends light to focus it onto the retina, allowing us to see clearly.

The lens can change its shape to accommodate different distances, enabling clear vision at both near and far distances.

The lens is situated behind the iris and the pupil.

The aqueous humor acts as a nutrient supply for the eye's structures, carrying essential molecules to the cornea and lens.
