18
Q

Connects the choroid to the iris and produces and secretes aqueous humor

19
Q

Behind the pupil almost completely transparent; biconvex; fine focusing mechanisms

20
Q

Thin and wet and consistency of tissue paper; converts light to an impulse that the brain can vision; extends and forms the optic nerve; vascular

21
Q

The retina contains two cells that are photoreceptors

A

Rod - dim vision

Cones - bright environments

22
Q

Area of the retina; responsible for central vision free of blood cells; has rods and cones

23
Q

Center of macula; most sensitive area; densely packed cones; no rods here at all; responsible for the sharpest visual acuity

A

Fovea centalis

24
The part of the retina that has the physiologic depression or cup where the blood supply and optic nerve occur
Optic disk
25
The chamber where the cornea to lens is. Contains aqueous humor.
Anterior chamber
26
The chamber behind the iris. Contains aqueous humor.
Posterior chamber.
27
Behind the lens; helps give shape. Vitreous humor.
Posterior or Vitreous cavity
28
Cornea to the aqueous humor to the pupil to the lens to the vitreous humor to the retina to the optic disk to the optic chiasm for right or left optic tract to the occipital lobes
