Ophthalmic Anatomy PDF

Summary

This document provides a detailed analysis of ophthalmic anatomy, particularly focusing on the structure and function of the animal eye. It explores different layers and components of the eye, such as the choroid, suprachoroidea, large-vessel layer, medium-sized vessel layer, and choriocapillaris. The sections also present information on the lens, its capsule, and anterior epithelium, providing valuable insight for students and researchers in ophthalmology.

(Original magnification, 400×.) Figure 2.70 Composite drawing of the lens, capsule, attachments, and nuclear zones. The lens epithelial cells line the anterior capsule. At the equator, these dividing cells elongate to form lens cortical cells (fibers). As they elongate anteriorly and posteriorly toward the sutures, their nuclei migrate somewhat anterior to the equator and form the lens bow. Zonular fibers (zf) attach to the anterior and posterior lens capsule and to the equatorial capsule, forming pericapsular or zonular lamellae of the lens.
