Iris
Contains sphincter pupillae and dilator pupillae muscles in its stroma which control pupillary size.
Accomodation
Continuous changes in the shape of the lens keep images focused on the retina. (a) The lens flattens for distant vision when the ciliary muscles are relaxed and the shape of the ciliary body holds the ciliary zonule taut. (b) To see closer objects, the ciliary muscle fibers contract, changing the shape of the ciliary body, relaxing tension on the ciliary zonule, and allowing the lens to assume the more rounded shape.

List the 5 layers of the cornea
outer fibrous tunic, middle vascular tunic, and the inner retinal tunic
The eye is composed of a lens and three layers: ______, ______, and ____________
Outer Limiting Layer
The outer limiting layer is the line of adherent junctions that attach the rod and cone inner segments to the distal ends of the Muller glial cells (red outline).
Iris
The stroma also contains pigmented cells, melanocytes. Both ciliary processes and the inner surfaces of the iris are covered by a pigmented layer & are continuation of the retina.
