* * Vision Parts of the Eye The Sclera The Cornea Conjunctiva The Choroid Coat The Ciliary Body The Iris The Pupil The Retina The Macula lutea Fovea The Optic Nerve The Optic Disk The Vitreous Humor The Aqueous Humor The Conjunctiva lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the sclera (white part of the eye). It is composed of rare stratified columnar epithelium. The Sclera The Cornea Window of the eye Helps focus entering light rays Composed of connective tissue w/ thin layer of epithelium Has many nerve fibers that enter the margin and radiate toward the center – associate with many pain receptors w/ low threshold Cold receptors abundant White portion of the eye Makes up 5/6 of posterior outer tunic Opaque b/c of how the collagen and elastic fibers are arranged. Protects the eye Attachment for extrinsic muscles The Optic Nerve The Choroid Coat Located in the back of the eye Attached to the retina Transmits images from the retina to the brain Flips the pictures Part of the middle tunic Posterior 5/6 of the globe of the eye Has blood vessels that nourish surrounding parts Contains melanocytes Melanin from melanocytes absorb excess light and keep the inside part of the eye dark The Ciliary Body The Iris Thickest part of the middle tunic Extends to the front from the choroid coat Forms internal ring around the eye Contain folds called ciliary processes 2 groups of muscle fibers – ciliary muscles Controls how much light enters the eye Thin diaphragm composed of connective tissue thin connective tissue It is the colored portion of the eye Extends from the front of the periphery in the ciliary body to the middle of the cornea and the lens Divides the anterior cavity (cornea iris) into anterior chamber (iris and vitreous humor) The Pupil The Lens The circular opening in the center of the iris Black spot in the center of the iris Controls how much light enters the retina Its diameters is usually 3-7 mm Transparent
