    Study Notes

    Eye Anatomy Terms

    • Ciliary Body

      • A structure in the eye that produces the aqueous humor and contains muscles that adjust the shape of the lens for focusing.
    • Suspensory Ligaments

      • Connects the ciliary body to the lens, allowing the lens to change shape during the process of accommodation for vision.
    • Anterior Cavity (Aqueous Humor)

      • The space between the cornea and the lens filled with aqueous humor, which provides nutrients to the eye and maintains intraocular pressure.
    • Cornea

      • The transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber; essential for light refraction and protection against dust and germs.
    • Iris

      • The colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil and regulates how much light enters the eye.
    • Lens

      • A transparent structure behind the iris that focuses light onto the retina; changes shape to enable focusing on objects at various distances.
    • Optic Nerve

      • A bundle of nerve fibers that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain for processing.
    • Fovea Centralis

      • A small pit in the retina that provides the clearest vision due to a high concentration of cone photoreceptors; crucial for tasks requiring sharp vision.
    • Retina

      • The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light into neural signals to be processed by the brain; contains rods and cones for vision in varying light conditions.
