Answer 2

Hi mate here is ur query

___________________________

The eye is a hollow, spherical structure measuring about 2.5 cm in diameter.

Brief information about following parts of eye..

queous Humour

The aqueous humour is a jelly-like substance located in the anterior chamber of the eye.

Choroid

The choroid layer is located behind the retina and absorbs unused radiation.

Ciliary Muscle

The ciliary muscle is a ring-shaped muscle attached to the iris. It is important because contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle controls the shape of the lens.

Cornea

The cornea is a strong clear bulge located at the front of the eye (where it replaces the sclera - that forms the outside surface of the rest of the eye). The front surface of the adult cornea has a radius of approximately 8mm. The cornea contributes to the image-forming process by refracting light entering the eye.

Fovea

The fovea is a small depression (approx. 1.5 mm in diameter) in the retina. This is the part of the retina in which high-resolution vision of fine detail is possible.

Hyaloid

The hyaloid diaphragm divides the aqueous humour from the vitreous humour.

Iris

The iris is a diaphragm of variable size whose function is to adjust the size of the pupil to regulate the amount of light admitted into the eye. The iris is the coloured part of the eye (illustrated in blue above but in nature may be any of many shades of blue, green, brown, hazel, or grey).

Lens

The lens of the eye is a flexible unit that consists of layers of tissue enclosed in a tough capsule. It is suspended from the ciliary muscles by the zonule fibers.

Optic Nerve

The optic nerve is the second cranial nerve and is responsible for vision. Each nerve contains approx. one million fibres transmitting information from the rod and cone cells of the retina.

Papilla

The papilla is also known as the "blind spot" and is located at the position from which the optic nerve leaves the retina.

Pupil

The pupil is the aperture through which light - and hence the images we "see" and "perceive" - enters the eye. This is formed by the iris. As the size of the iris increases (or decreases) the size of the pupil decreases (or increases) correspondingly.

Retina

The retina may be described as the "screen" on which an image is formed by light that has passed into the eye via the cornea, aqueous humour, pupil, lens, then the hyaloid and finally the vitreous humour before reaching the retina.

The retina contains photosensitive elements (called rods and cones) that convert the light they detect into nerve impulses that are then sent onto the brain along the optic nerve.

Sclera

The sclera is a tough white sheath around the outside of the eye-ball.

This is the part of the eye that is referred to by the colloquial terms "white of the eye".

Visual Axis

A simple definition of the "visual axis" is "a straight line that passes through both the centre of the pupil and the centre of the fovea". However, there is also a stricter definition (in terms of nodal points) which is important for specialists in optics and related subjects.

Vitreous Humour

The vitreous humour (also known as the "vitreous body") is a jelly-like substance.

Zonules

The zonules (or "zonule fibers") attach the lens to the ciliary muscles.

Ouer eye wall is composed of three coats:

1. The outer fibrous coat— sclera, cornea.

2. The middle vascular coat— choroid, ciliary body, iris.

3. The inner nervous coat— retina.

1. Fibrous Coat:

It is divided into the sclera and the cornea.

(a) Sclera:

(b) Cornea:

2. Vascular Coat:

It comprises 3 parts

a.) choroid,

b.) ciliary body

c.) iris.

3. Neural Coat— The Retina:

Beginning from the external surface (choroid side), the retina consists of the following layers:

(!) Pigment Cell Layer:

(ii) Layer of Rods and Cones:

(iii) External Nuclear Layer:

(iv) External Plexiform Layer

(v) Internal Nuclear Layer:

This layer contains the cell bodies and nuclei of three types of neurons:

(a) Bipolar Neurons

(b) Horizontal Neurons and

(c) Amacrine cells.

(vi) Internal Plexiform Layer. (= Inner Synaptic Zone):

(viii) Layer of Optic Nerve Fibres:
