1
New cards
Eyebrows
shades eyes from sunlight, prevent perspiration from eyes
2
New cards
Eyelids
protects from foreign objects and prevent drying
3
New cards
Conjunctiva
produces lubricating & cleansing fluid
4
New cards
what cranial nerve controls accessory structures of the eye? (ex. eyebrows, eyelid, conjunctiva)
cranial nerve 7
5
New cards
Lacrimal Gland
exocrine gland, secretes tears (mucus, antibodies, antibacterial enzymes protecting eyes from infection) to moisten eyes
6
New cards
3 layers of eye tissue
- fibrous tunic
- vascular tunic
- sensory tunic
7
New cards
Fibrous Tunic
- outermost layer
- connective tissue w/ min. blood vessels
2 regions = sclera and cornea
8
New cards
Vascular Tunic (uvea)
- middle layer
- thin connective tissue w/ numerous capillaries
9
New cards
Sensory Tunic (retina)
- innermost layer
- 2 layers of tissue - outer pigment layer, inner neural layer
- 2 types of photoreceptors: rods and cones (colors)
10
New cards
anterior layers of the eye
cornea and cillary body
11
New cards
posterior layers of the eye
sclera, choroids, retina
12
New cards
cornea function
light transmission & refraction
13
New cards
Ciliary body
Iris: accommodation, controls light intensity
14
New cards
Sclera
protection (outer layer)
15
New cards
Choroids
blood supply, pigment prevents reflection (middle layer)
16
New cards
Retina
(inner layer): photoreception & impulse transmission
17
New cards
Pathway of light
cornea → aqueous humor → lens → vitreous humor → retina
18
New cards
refraction
Bending of light
