    The outer fibrous protective layer of the eyeball consists of the sclera, cornea, and conjunctiva. The sclera covers most of the eyeball surface and allows for eye muscle attachment and movement. The cornea is responsible for refracting and focusing light onto the retina. The conjunctiva provides protection and lubrication to the eye through lacrimal glands and prevents microbial entrance. The middle vascular layer contains the choroid, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to the eyes and maintains temperature and volume. It also contains the ciliary body, which anchors the lens and enables accommodation. The inner neural layer is the retina, which contains rods for black-and-white vision in dim light and cones

    List down the structures of the eyes according to the Outer, Middle and Inner Layers of the Eyeball,

    use the pattern below or show it using the


    table below: Thank you :)

    LAYERS EYE STRUCTURE FUNCTION


    Outer Fibrous Protective Layer Sclera It covers almost the entire
    surface of the eyeball and
    allows attachment of the eye
    muscles that is needed for eye
    movement.

    Cornea It is responsible for the


    refracting as well as focusing
    the light rays on the retina.

     Conjunctiva It provides protection and


    lubrication to the eye through
    the help of the lacrimal glands.
    It prevents microbial entrance
    into the eye.

    Middle vascular layer  Choroid It is responsible for the oxygen


    and nutrition supply of the eyes.
    It also maintains temperature
    and volume of the eye.

     Ciliary Body It anchors the lens and is


    responsible for the
    accommodation of the eye as it
     Iris It controls passage of light into
    the eye. It regulates the size and
    diameter of the pupil.
    Inner neural layer  Retina: It is a layer of nervous tissue
    with multiple sensory cells that
    are sensitive to light.

    a. Rods It provides the perception of


    black-and-white vision, mostly
    in dim light.

    b. Cones It helps to see colors in daylight.

    Inner part of the eyeball Lens Lens bend the light rays passing
    the eyeball to the back of the
    eye or retina.

    The vitreous body It maintains the retina in place


    by pushing it towards the
    choroid. 
    Anterior and posterior eye
    chamber It is filled with aqueous fluid to
    nourish cornea and lens.
