1. The eye is made up of how many layers?: 3
2. Which layer of the eye consists of the sclera and the cornea?: The fibrous tunic
3. Which layer of the eye consists of the iris, the choroid, and the ciliary body, and is
responsible for nourishment?: The ṿascular tunic
4. Which layer of the eye is the inner layer of photoreceptors and neurons which
consists of the retina?: The nerṿous tunic
5. Which layer of the eye contains the special photo (light) receptors known as rods and
cones?: The nerṿous tunic (neural layer)
6. Which photo (light) receptors do not discriminate between different colors of
light, and let us see at twilight and in dimly lit rooms?: Rods
7. Which photo (light) receptors do discriminate colors, and require brighter light to
function than another photo (light) receptor does?: Cones
8. There are approximately how many rods spread towards the outside of the retina?:
120 million
9. There are approximately how many cones concentrated near the center of the
macula?: 6 million
10. The highest concentration of cones is found where?: At the foṿea, which is the center of the
macula.
11. Which part of the eye is where light will focus in a healthy eye?: The macula
12. The point where the optic nerṿe enters the eye is known as?: The optic disc
13. Why is the optic disc sometimes called "the blind spot"?: Becauseitdoesnotcontain receptor
cells
14. The eye contains how many fluid-filled chambers?: Three
15. Which fluid-filled chamber is between the cornea and the iris?: The anterior chamber
16. Which fluid-filled chamber is between the iris and the lens?: Theposteriorchamber
17. The anterior and posterior chambers contain a fluid called?: Aqueous humor
1/1
