Q

Pupil

A

Allows entry of light into eye

17
Q

Lens

A

main refractive structure in the eye that focuses light onto retina

18
Q

Cilary body/muscles

A

Holds lens in position and changes its thickness

19
Q

Vitreous humour

A

Maintains spherical shape of eye and has some refractive ability

20
Q

Retina

A

Converts light to electrochemical signals

21
Q

Macula

A

allows for sharp, clear, straight-ahead vision

22
Q

Optic nerve

A

Transmits nerve impluses from retina to brain

23
Q

eye muscles

A

rotates the eyeball within socket

24
Q

Glomerus

A

FILTRATION
Blood cells and large proteins cannot pass through
water and solutes passively pass through

25
Proximal convoluted tubule
SECRETION - active transport of unwanted substances such as drugs from blood into tubule REABSORPTION - primarily passive return of water, ions, and glucose from filtrate into blood
26
Loop of henle
REABSORPTION main site of water reabsorption back into blood. it is impermeable to ions
27
Distal convoluted tubule
REABSORPTION further reabsoption of ions is regulated by ADH
28
Nephron
FILTRATION contains filtering structure called glomerulus and tubule
