(14) posterior Functions:

(13) ciliary body chamber (12) choroid 1) Conjunctiva: acts as a covering of the eyeball and
provide lubrication to the eye by the production of mucus
and tears
2) Iris: opens and close the pupils to control the amount of
(11) retina light that enters the eye
3) Lens: It acts as a refractive medium that focuses light
rays onto the retina
(1) conjunctiva (10) macula 4) Pupil: controls how much light to let into the back of the
eye
5) Cornea: controls and focuses the entry of light into the
eye, protect the structures inside the eye & contributes to
(2) iris
the refractive power of the eye
6) Anterior chamber of the eye: filled with a watery fluid
(3) lens known as the aqueous humor
(17) fovea 7) Sclera: outer fibrous covering of the entire eyeball; it
centralis provides support for the eyeball, helping it keep its shape
8) Optic disc: where the ganglion cell axons exit the eye to
(4) pupil form the optic nerve
9) Optic nerve: supplies the structures of the eye and the
cranial nerve responsible for sense of sight
(5) cornea 10) Macula: located near the center of the retina; process the
vision before being sent along the optic nerve to the brain
which contains cones and rods
11) Retina: lines the inner aspect f the posterior ⅔ of the eye;
(6) anterior it senses light and creates electrical impulses that are
chamber sent through the optic nerve to the brain
12) Choroid: supplies the outer third of the retina and
maintains the temperature and volume of the eye
(7) sclera 13) Ciliary body: produces aqueous humor responsible for
the nutrition of the eye
14) Posterior chamber of the eye: important in the
production and circulation of aqueous humor
(16) ciliary 15) Vitreous body: fills the space between the lens and the
process retina that contains vitreous humour that maintain the
(9) optic nerve round shape of the eye
16) Ciliary process: holds the lens in position
17) Fovea Centralis:contains only cone cells and constitutes
(15) vitreous (8) optic disc
the area of maximum visual acuity and color
body (18) retinal artery discrimination
and vein 18) Retinal vessels: provides blood supply to the eyes
