Anatomical Definitions Of Eye -- Lesson 265
In this post we would come through the definitions shortly. 1. Accommodation: - The adjustment of the eye made normally for looking at objects at different distances. To bring an object into focus on the retina, the lens is made thinner or fatter by the ciliary body. 2. Anterior chamber: - This is the area behind the cornea and in front of the lens and iris. Aqueous humor is contained in it. 3. Aqueous humor: - Fluid is produced by the ciliary body and found in the chambers which are anterior and posterior. 4. Choroid layer: - The vascular and middle layer of the eye between the retina and the sclera. 5. Ciliary body: - It is the structure which is on each side of the lens that connects the choroids and the iris. This also contains ciliary muscles, which control the shape of the lens, and secretes aqueous humor. 6. Cones: - The receptor cells which is called photosensitive receptor cells transform light energy into a nerve impulse. Cones are responsible for col...
