External eye:
Conjunctiva- s a tissue that lines the inside of the
eyelids and covers the sclera (the white of the
eye). It is composed of unkeratinized, stratified
squamous epithelium with goblet cells, and
stratified columnar epithelium.
Cornea- is the transparent part of the eye that
covers the front portion of the eye. It covers the
pupil (the opening at the center of the eye), iris
(the colored part of the eye), and anterior
chamber (the fluid-filled inside of the eye). The
cornea's main function is to refract, or bend,
light.
Pupil- is clearly that of controlling the amount of
light entering the eye, and hence the light reflex.
Iris - is a thin, annular structure in the eye,
responsible for controlling the diameter and size
Internal eye:
Aqueous- is the fluid produced by the eye. It
provides nutrition to the eye, as well as maintains
the eye in a pressurized state.
Vitreous-he clear jelly that fills the eyeball behind
the lens. It helps support the shape of the eye
and transmits light to the retina.
Optic nerve- is located in the back of the eye. It is
also called the second cranial nerve or cranial
nerve II. It is the second of several pairs of cranial
nerves. The job of the optic nerve is to transfer
visual information from the retina to the vision
centers of the brain via electrical impulses.
Retina- is a thin layer of tissue that lines the back
of the eye on the inside. It is located near the
optic nerve. The purpose of the retina is to
receive light that the lens has focused, convert
of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the light into neural signals, and send these
the retina. Eye color is defined by that of the iris. signals on to the brain for visual recognition.

Lens- nables the changing of focus. The lens can

alter its refractive power by changing its shape, a
process called accommodation.

Ciliary body- A part of the middle layer of the

wall of the eye. The ciliary body includes the ring-
shaped muscle that changes the size of the pupil
and the shape of the lens when the eye focuses.
It also makes the fluid that fills the eye.

Sclera- s the opaque, fibrous, tough, protective

outer layer of the eye (“white of the eye”) that is
directly continuous with the cornea in front and
with the sheath covering the optic nerve behind.
The sclera provides protection and form.

Choroid- supplies the outer retina with nutrients,

and maintains the temperature and volume of
the eye. The choroidal circulation, which
accounts for 85% of the total blood flow in the
eye, is a high-flow system with relatively low
oxygen content.

Chamber angle- is a part of the eye located

between the cornea and iris which contains the
trabecular meshwork. The size of this angle is an
important determinant of the rate aqueous
humour flows out of the eye, and thus, the
intraocular pressure.
