Label Parts of the Eye Quiz for Anatomy Study

Study Notes

Eye Anatomy and Functions

Retina: The eye's inner surface that is sensitive to light, containing specialized receptor cells (rods and cones) along with neurons that start the visual processing.
Eyeball: The anatomical structure responsible for vision; it contains various components essential for capturing and processing visual information.
Sclera: The tough, white outer layer of the eye that provides structure and protection.
Retinal Blood Vessels: Blood vessels supplying oxygen and nutrients to the retina's rods and cones, essential for their function and health.
Lens: A transparent structure located behind the pupil that adjusts its shape to focus light onto the retina for clear vision.
Anterior Compartment: The front part of the eye filled with aqueous humor, which maintains intraocular pressure and provides nutrients to the eye structures.
Optic Nerve: A critical nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain for interpretation.
Iris: A muscular, colored ring that surrounds the pupil, regulating the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the pupil's size.
Cornea: The clear, dome-shaped tissue that covers the front of the eye, acting as the primary lens that refracts light.
Posterior Compartment: The section of the eye located behind the lens, filled with vitreous humor, which helps maintain the eye's shape and supports the retina.
Pupil: The central opening in the iris, allowing light to pass into the eye. Its size changes based on light conditions.
Suspensory Ligament: Connects the lens to the ciliary body, facilitating movement and adjustment of the lens to focus on near and distant objects.
