Shaape of the eyeball?
Oblate spheroid
Center of curvature of the cornea
Anterior Pole
Center of posterior curvature of the eyeball
Posterior Pole
A line that connects the two poles
optic axis
Connects the fovea centralis to the nodal point
visual axis
anterior part of the orbital cavity, closer to the roof, and closer to the lateral than medial wall
position of the eyeball

what are the fibrous layers
sclera, cornea
what are the middle vascular layers
choroid, iris, ciliary body
what is the inner nervous layer
retina
a space occupying mass within the cone
displacement of the eyeball
transparent 1/6 of the eyeball
cornea
composed mainly 90% of stroma
cornea
covered with arranged stratified squamous epithelium
cornea
what are the layers of the cornea
Anterior epithelium, bowmans membrane, corneal stroma, descemet’s membrane, endothelium
major site of metabolic activity, capable of regeneration
Anterior epithelium
flat and has horizontal nuclei, Adheres to the corneal tear film
Squamous epithelium
midzone layer, ⅔ of the polyhedral cells
Contains tenofilaments
wing cells
anchoring filaments
hemidesmosomes
arranged cells go from base to apex
desmosomes
deepest layer
Tall and columnar often show mitosis
basal cell
not real basement membrane
Interwoven collagen fibers
bowman’s membrane
Modified stroma
Resistance to trauma, microorganisms, foreign bodies
bowman’s membrane
90% of the cornea
Arranged parallel
corneal stroma
