Lacrimal Gland - Answer 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 - Answer 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 - Answer 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 - Answer the white portion of the eye made up of a tough, fibrous tissue that
gives shape and structure to the eyeball
, Orbit - Answer 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 - Answer 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 - Answer the clear, cellophane-like tissue that covers the sclera and the
inside surface of the eyelids.

Bulbar Conjunctiva - Answer Covers the sclera
Cornea - Answer the clear, transparent tissue which is located on the very
anterior portion of the eye. Most powerful refractive media of the eye. Provides

junction with the sclera. It has 5 layers.
Cornea's 5 Layers (front to back) - Answer 1. Epithelium
2. Bowman's layer

4. Descemet's membrane
5. Endothelium
Limbus - Answer The junction of the sclera and the cornea.

for maximum visual performance
Anterior Chamber - Answer Area inside the eye, behind the cornea and in front of

of the eye to focus from distance to near (accommodation). The second most
