Anatomy and Physiology
Orbit: Recession in the skull where each eye is set Conjunctiva: A thin layer of cells that covers the eye’s surface and the eyelid’s inner surface
16
Anatomy and Physiology (cont.)
Lacrimal glands and meibomian glands: Provide watery secretions to keep the conjunctiva moist The internal walls of the eye have three layers fibrous layer vascular layer nervous layer

19
Fibrous Layer The outermost layer of the eye contains:
Sclera: White part of the eye Cornea: Transparent window of the eye Anterior chamber: Located behind the cornea and filled with a watery fluid called aqueous humor, which is continually produced and reabsorbed
20
Vascular Layer The middle layer of the eye includes:
Iris: Colored ring of the eye Pupil: Black-appearing opening in the center of the eye Lens: Transparent disk that changes shape to allow light to focus on the retina Posterior cavity behind lens is filled with vitreous humor, a gelatinous material Choroid: Blood vessels here nourish cells of retina
21
Nervous Layer The innermost layer of the eye consists of:
Retina: Thin film at the back of the eye composed of photoreceptors Rods: Black and white shades Cones: Color Fovea centralis Area of the retina that has the sharpest vision Contains highest concentration of cones in the retina
22
Nervous Layer (cont.) Macula Optic nerve Optic disc
Slight depression where fovea centralis lies Optic nerve The neurons that form the retina send information out of the eye by way of the optic nerve Optic disc Exit point of the optic nerve Also called the blind spot
