Medical Transcription and Healthcare Experience Sharing

In the travel of learning free medical transcription course, we are going to learn about anatomical terms explanations of eyes. As a medical transcriptionist student, you should know about all the anatomy and physiology, not like a medical student for surgical purpose, but you should know something basic  information about them. We explained something in the prior lesson about this topic about what is accomodation, anterior chamber, aqueous humor, biconvex, layer of choroid, ciliary body, cones, conjuctiva, cornea, fovea centralis, fundus of the eyes, lens, iris, macula, optic chiasm, and optic disk. In this lesson, we will learn about, optic nerve, posterior chamber, pupil, refraction, retina of the eyes, rods, sclera, vitreous chamber, vitreous humor one by one. Okay. Optic Nerve: The other name of optic nerve is cranial nerve 2, which receives and delivers eye sight messages to the brain from the part of cerebral cortex from the retina of the eye. Posteri...

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...
