Lacrimal Gland - ANS ✔ - the gland that supplies most of the tears to the eye. Located superior and
temporal to the eye and behind the orbital rim
Lacrimal Duct - ANS ✔ - the drainage system for tears. As tears are produced by the lacrimal gland,
they drain through the lacrimal duct to reach the surface of the eye
Nasolacrimal Duct - ANS ✔ - the drainage system for the tears to leave the eye. It is connected to the
nasal passage. This is why the nose runs when one cries
Sclera - ANS ✔ - the white portion of the eye made up of a tough, fibrous tissue that gives shape and
structure to the eyeball
Orbit - ANS ✔ - the bony socket that contains the eye and most of its accessory organs. The roof,
medial wall and floor are very thin and can be easily damage by injury, infection or tumors
Sinuses - ANS ✔ - air spaces within the bones. Poor drainage, infection, or cancerous enlargement of
the sinuses may cause headaches, pain around eye, or pain from behind the eye
Conjunctiva - ANS ✔ - the clear, cellophane-like tissue that covers the sclera and the inside surface of
the eyelids.
,Palpebral Conjunctiva - ANS ✔ - Lines the lids
Bulbar Conjunctiva - ANS ✔ - Covers the sclera
Cornea - ANS ✔ - the clear, transparent tissue which is located on the very anterior portion of the eye.
Most powerful refractive media of the eye. Provides most of the eye's ability to focus light. It is
avascular. A slight furrow marks its junction with the sclera. It has 5 layers.
Cornea's 5 Layers (front to back) - ANS ✔ - 1. Epithelium
2. Bowman's layer
3. Stroma
4. Descemet's membrane
5. Endothelium
Limbus - ANS ✔ - The junction of the sclera and the cornea.
Iris - ANS ✔ - the colored part of the eye. Consists of 2 muscles with a hole in the middle (the pupil).
The iris sphincter and dilator muscles control the size of the pupil for maximum visual performance
Anterior Chamber - ANS ✔ - Area inside the eye, behind the cornea and in front of the iris. This area
is filled with clear, watery fluid called aqueous humor
Aqueous Humor - ANS ✔ - Clear watery fluid produced by the ciliary body. It fills the front part of the
posterior chamber and the entire anterior chamber. It provides nutrients for the lens and posterior
cornea and carries away waste products. It is also responsible for maintain the intraocular pressure
because it is the only fluid continually produced in the eye
Crystalline lens - ANS ✔ - provides focusing power to the eye. Allows for adjustment of the eye to
focus from distance to near (accommodation). The second most powerful refractive medium. Held in
place by ciliary body (ligaments)
, Ciliary Muscles - ANS ✔ - the muscle inside the eyeball which alters the shape of the crystalline lens.
It has direct control over the focusing ability of the eye
Accommodation - ANS ✔ - The focusing ability of the eye
Posterior Chamber - ANS ✔ - the area located inside the eye, behind the iris and in front of the lens
Retina - ANS ✔ - the seeing part of the eye. Lines the sclera and is the place where light coming into
the eye is focused. Images that fall on the nerve cells of the retina are then transmitted to the brain
where they are interpreted
Choroid - ANS ✔ - consists primarily of blood vessels that nourish the retina so it can continue to
function. It is between the sclera and the retina
Vitreous Humor - ANS ✔ - a thick, clear, jelly like substance that fills the eye between the lens and the
retina. This serves to support the retina and helps to keep the eye round
Macula - ANS ✔ - Fovea the central part of the retina which is used for seeing detail. It is an area 3-5
mm in diameter, with the foveal depression at its center
Fovea Centralis - ANS ✔ - area in the macula approximately 1.5mm in diameter where the visual
acuity is the sharpest. The fovea contains the highest number of cones, which are responsible for
daytime vision and color vision
Optic Nerve - ANS ✔ - the nerve that carries impulses from the retina to the brain. It transmits the
signals from the rods and cones to the brain
Optic Disc - ANS ✔ - the appearance of the optic nerve when viewed through pupil. The portion of the
optic nerve which is formed by the meeting of all the retinal nerve fibers. It is insensitive to light and
corresponds to the physiological blind spot. The appearance of the optic disc can be used to
determine the healthiness of the nerve itself
