Choroid

A layer of the eye located between the retina and the sclera that contains blood vessels and pigments to nourish the retina.

Tapetum Lucidum

A reflective layer behind the retina in the eyes of some animals, enhancing night vision.

Retina

The innermost layer of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) to detect light and transmit visual signals to the brain.

Sclera

The tough, white outer layer of the eye that helps maintain the shape of the eye and protects the inner structures.

Vitreous Humor

A clear gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina, helping maintain the eye's shape.

Lens

A transparent structure in the eye that helps focus light onto the retina for clear vision.

Anterior Chamber/Aqueous Humor

The fluid-filled space between the cornea and the lens that helps maintain the eye's pressure and nourishes the cornea and lens.
