07a: The Eye Flashcards
The eye is comprised of three principal layers called (X). List them.
X = Tunics
- Corneoscleral
- Uveal
- Retinal
Thick curved structure at anterior portion of eye.
Cornea
Cornea (is/isn’t) transparent and has which layer(s)?
Is;
- Stratified squamous (NK) epithelium
- Bowman’s membrane
- CT stroma
- Descemet’s membrane
- Endothelium
White of the eye.
Sclera
Sclera (is/isn’t) transparent and is composed of which type of tissue?
Isn’t;
Dense irregular CT
Limbus of the eye is what?
Junction between cornea and sclera
Lamina cribrosa of eye is:
portion of sclera at back of eye that’s disrupted by penetrating axons/blood vessels
The (X) is found in the uveal layer of the eye and forms aperture called (Y) to admit light into eye.
X = iris; Y = pupil
Size of pupil is controlled by:
Sphincter and dilator pupillae
Sphincter pupillae controlled by (X) and dilated pupillae controlled by (Y).
X = parasympathetic NS Y = sympathetic NS
The ciliary body is located immediately behind (X). It contains (Y). What underlies it?
X = iris; Y = ciliary processes; Z = ciliary muscle
Immediately behind ciliary body is the (X), which extends as a layer on underside of (Y).
X = choroid; Y = sclera
(X) structure of eye contains enormous amount of pigment to absorb stray light.
X = choroid
Photoreceptors supplied by dense capillary plexus called (X), which is contained in (Y) structure of eye.
X = choriocapillaris; Y = choroid
Bruch’s membrane separates:
Retina and choroid layers
Retinal tunic consists of which layers? Star the one closest to choroid layer.
- Neural retina
2. Retinal pigment epithelium layer (RPE)*
Retinal pigment epithelium is (single/multi)-layered and composed of (simple/cuboidal/columnar) cells containing (X).
Single; cuboidal
X = pigment
List the spaces in the eye.
- Anterior chamber
- Posterior chamber
- Vitreal chamber
Anterior chamber walls.
Cornea (anterior) and Iris/lens (posterior)
Posterior chamber walls.
Ant: iris
Post: zonules
Medial: lens
Lateral: ciliary body
(X) are small CT fibers attached to ciliary body and (Y) to hold (Y) in place.
X = Zonules; Y = lens
Posterior chamber of eye contains (X) fluid.
X = clear aqueous humor
Anterior chamber of eye contains (X) fluid.
X = clear aqueous humor
T/F: Fluid can travel between posterior and anterior chambers of eye.
True
(X) chamber is between (Y) and the back of the eye. It’s filled with what fluid?
X = vitreous Y = lens
Vitreous humor
Vitreous humor has which consistency/color?
Clear, gel-like
(X) is mucous membrane that’s continuous with cornea and and lies on top of (Y).
X = conjunctiva; Y = sclera
List the portions of the conjunctiva and what each one lies on.
- Palpebral (on back of eyelid)
2. Bulbar (on sclera)
Tear film of fluid covers (X) structure of eye. List its layers.
X = cornea;
- Outer lipid layer
- Middle aqueous layer
- Inner mucous layer
Innermost (X) layer of tear film is produced by (Y).
X = mucous; Y = goblet cells of conjunctiva
Middle (X) layer of tear film is produced by (Y).
X = aqueous Y = lacrimal glands
