Which structure controls the size of the pupil?

Iris

How does the avascular cornea acquire oxygen? Oxygen diffuses from the atmosphere to the cornea. Oxygen diffuses from the capillaries in the iris to the cornea. The ciliary body provides oxygen to the cornea. Lysozyme in tears releases oxygen to nourish the cornea.

Oxygen diffuses from the atmosphere to the cornea.

Explain how the avascular cornea obtains oxygen and nutrients. The vitreous humor supplies nutrients to the cornea The iris supplies nutrients to the cornea Oxygen from the outside air

Oxygen from the outside air

Sphincter pupillae Dilator pupillae

Describe the location of the lens.

The lens is suspended between the posterior chamber and vitreous chamber by suspensory ligaments.

The optic disc is called the ____ _____because it does not contain any photoreceptors and therefore does not respond to light.

blind spot

fibrous

The point where light rays cross after passing through a concave lens is referred to as the _____ point.

focal

The portion of the retina with the greatest visual acuity is called the

fovea centralis

In normal near vision light is refracted ______ than in distant vision, thus the lens is ______.

more, rounded

The sphincter pupillae are innervated by ______ fibers that cause the iris to ______ the pupil.

parasympathetic, constrict

The chamber of the eye that is between the iris and the lens is the _____ chamber and it is filled with ______ humor

posterior, aqueous

Light rays bend or ______ as they pass through media of different densities.

refract

The nervous tunic of the eye is composed primarily of the ______.

retina

The lens is connected to the ciliary processes by the ______.

suspensory ligaments

The dilator pupillae are innervated by ______ fibers that cause the iris to ______ the pupil.

sympathetic, dilate

The dilator pupillae and sphincter pupillae are also known as ______.

the intrinsic muscles of the eye
