Paraoptometric CPO - anatomy of the eye
terms with correct answers
Anterior |Chamber |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |area |inside |the |eye, |behind |the |cornea, |and |
infront |of |the |iris. |This |area |is |filled |with |clear, |watery |fluid |called |aqueous |humor.
Aqueous |Humor |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-A |clear, |watery |fluid |produced |by |the |Ciliary |body. |It |
provides |nutrients |for |the |lens |and |posterior |cornea |and |carries |away |waste |products. |It |is |
also |responsible |for |maintaining |the |intraocular |pressure |because |it |is |the |only |fluid |
continually |produced |in |the |eye.
Choroid |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-It |is |sandwiched |between |the |sclera |and |the |retina. |It |consist
|primarily |of |blood |vessels |that |nourish |the |retina.
Ciliary |muscle |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |muscle |inside |of |the |eyeball |that |alters |the |shape |
of |the |crystalline |lens. |It |has |the |direct |control |over |the |focusing |ability |of |the |eye.
Conjunctiva |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |clear |tissue |that |covers |the |sclera |and |the |inside |
surface |of |the |eyelids.
Cornea |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |clear, |transparent |tissue |that |is |located |on |the |very |front |
(anterior) |portion |of |the |eye. |Is |the |most |powerful |refractive |media |of |the |eye. |It |provides |
most |of |the |eye's |ability |to |focus |light.
Crystalline |lens |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Provides |focusing |power |to |the |eye. |It |allows |
adjustment |of |the |eye |to |focus |from |distance |objects |to |near |objects. |It |is |the |second |most |
powerful |refractive |medium.
