# Eye Anatomy The images show the anatomy of the human eye, and are labeled with the following parts: - **Sclera:** The white outer layer of the eye. - **Cornea:** The clear outer layer of the eye that covers the iris. - **Iris:** The colored part of the eye that surrounds the pupil. - **Pupil:** The black opening in the center of the iris. - **Lens:** The transparent structure behind the pupil that focuses light onto the retina. - **Choroid:** The vascular layer of the eye between the retina and the sclera that nourishes the outer portion of the retina. - **Retina:** The light-sensitive innermost layer of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells. - **Fovea centralis:** A small depression in the center of the macula. - **Optic Nerve:** The nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain. - **Optic Disc:** The point where the optic nerve leaves the eye. It's also called the blind spot. - **Vitreous Chamber:** The space between the lens and the retina that is filled with a jelly-like substance called vitreous humor. - **Ciliary Body:** Muscles that control the shape of the lens. - **Superior Oblique:** One of the six extraocular muscles that helps to control eye movement and is located above the eye. - **Superior Rectus:** One of the six extraocular muscles that helps to control eye movement and is located above the eye. - **Inferior Rectus:** One of the six extraocular muscles that helps to control eye movement and is located below the eye. - **Medial Rectus:** One of the six extraocular muscles that helps to control eye movement and is located on the inside of the eye. - **Lateral Rectus:** One of the six extraocular muscles that helps to control eye movement and is located on the outside of the eye. # Diagram of the eye The diagrams show the following: - The general structure of the human eye and its layers - The position of the six extraocular muscles controlling eye movement. - The close up view of the muscles on the inside of the eye, and the different layers of the eye, including the retina, choroid, and lens. - The optic disc and the fovea centralis. - The vitreous chamber. The images provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the human eye and the different parts that make up this complex organ.
