cavernous sinus
The inner layer of the eye is the neural layer containing?
rods & cones
The part of the eyeball that first receives the light?
cornea
The three parts of the eye?
outer layer - fibrous layer
middle layer - vascular layer
inner layer - neural layer
What are the anterior and posterior parts of the eye?
Anterior part - cornea
posterior part - sclera

corneal limbus - at the corneoscleral junction
There are 3 parts to the middle layer?
iris - anterior (innermost part)
ciliary body - muscular middle
choroid - posterior part
what is the ciliary body made of?
finger-like projections - ciliary processes & ciliaris muscle (intrinsic muscles - inside the eye)
What is the nerve supply to ciliaris muscle?
innervation is parasympathetic fibers running through ciliary ganglion coming from oculomotor nerve
What is the main action of the ciliaris muscle?
accommodation: focus nearby & far away objects
What is the central aperture of the iris?
pupil
The size of the pupil is controlled by which two muscles?
sphincter/restrictor pupillae - constricts pupil
dilator pupillae - dilates pupil
What is the central aperture of the iris that controls the entry of light?
pupil
What is the nerve supply of the restrictor pupillae?
parasympathetic fibers running through oculomotor nerve
decreases the pupil
What is the nerve supply of dilator pupillae?
Sympathetic fibers
increases the diameter of the pupil

retina
Where are the rods and cones located?
2nd layer of the retina
What makes the optic nerve?
collectively the axons of the ganglion cells of the retina
What is the circular area without photo receptors?
optic disc
aka “optic papilla”
aka “blind spot”

venous plexus
What is termination of aqueous humor fluid?
Venous plexus
If this fluid is not absorbed on a regular basis, what happens?
glaucoma - fluid buildup can cause increased intraocular pressure = blindness
(in days or hours)
What is the action of the ciliary muscle?
accommodation - changing shape of lens

intraocular fluid in posterior segment of eye
also gives support to lens (behind iris)
