70
describe the inner layer of the eyeball
inner-non visual portion, retina (optic portion: optic disc, optic cup, macula of retina, fovea centralis)
71
pathway of light to retina
enters cornea->aqueous humor->lens->vitreous humor->retina

73
describe aqueous humor secretion/drainage and its role in maintaining IOP (intra ocular pressure)
produced in ciliary process of ciliary body->posterior chamber of eye->anterior chamber of eye->scleral venous sinus (canal of schlemm)
if it doesnt drain and is built up it causes increased pressure on retina (glaucoma)
74
describe the role aqueous humor secretion/drainage in glaucoma
it is a mismatch of production/secretion and drainage--build up, blockage, slowing down of drainage = compression of retina
open angle glaucoma: stuck in the anterior chamber
