Anatomy.jpg?resize=300%2C193: 1. Describe the functionsof the following structures
of the eye AND be able to label them on a diagram:
a. Aqueous humor
b. Canal of Schlemm
c. Choroid
d. Ciliary body
e. Ciliary glands
f. Conjunctiva
g. Cornea
h. Iris
i. Lacrimal glands (and the other structures of the lacrimal apparatus)
j. Lens
k. Optic disc
l. Retina
m. Suspensory ligaments
n. Vitreous humor
2. : 2. 'Pink eye' is an example of an infection of which accessory structure of theeye?
3. : 3. List AND describe the functions of the six extrinsic muscles of the eye. Makesure
you know which cranial nerve innervates each of extrinsic eye muscle.
4. : 4. Predict the effects of unilateral lesions to cranial nerves III, IV, or VI on the
movement of the eyes.
5. : 5. The outermost tunic of the eye is the _?_.
6. : 6. The middle tunic of the eye is the_?_.
7. : 7. The innermost tunic of the eye is the _?_.
8. : 8. List the three different tunics of the eyeball (in order from most superficial todeep)
- including the structures (and their functions) found in each tunic.
9. Cornea; because there are no blood vessels present, which means it there won't be
any white blood cells seeing any 'foreign' invaders: 9. Which structure in the eye can be
transplanted without fear of rejection? Why?
10. : 10. What is the name given to the thin, fibrous strands that connect the lens ofthe eye
to the ciliary body? While you're at it, what is the function of the ciliary body?
11. : 11. What are the two internal cavities of the eye and what is found in each?
12. : 12. Explain the normal flow of aqueous humor.
13. : 13. Describe the functions of rods and cones.
14. : 14. What is the name given to the structure within the eye that has a dense
concentration of cones. Which region of the eye consists of cones only?
15. : 15. Where in the retina would you find a higher concentration of rods?
