damage to photoreceptors will cause to decline?

diabetic retinopathy

diabetic individual are at risk of developing what in the eyeball?

the capillaries of the ciliary processes secretes aqueous humor into the anterior or posterior chamber?

blood

the capillaries of the ciliary processes secretes aqueous humor into the posterior chamber, then the aqueous humor circulates thru the pupil to the anterior chamber of the anterior cavity, and is reabsorbed by what?

pupil

the capillaries of the ciliary processes secretes aqueous humor into the posterior chamber, then the aqueous humor circulates thru what to get the anterior chamber of the anterior cavity?

anterior cavity

the fibrous and vascular tunic have a relationship with which cavity?

the iris

the lens divides the anterior and posterior cavity, so what divides the anterior and posterior chambers?

anterior and posterior cavity

iris and the lens

the poster chamber is between what?

vitreous chamber

the posterior cavity can also be called what?

vitreous body

the posterior cavity contains what?

retina

the posterior cavity has contact with which tunic layer of the eyeball?

lens and retina

the posterior cavity is between what two parts of the eyeball?

aqueous humor

the pupil circulates what from the poster chamber to the anterior chamber?

anterior cavity

the scleral venous sinus/canal of schlemm is found in which cavity of the eyeball?

anterior chamber

the scleral venous sinus/canal of schlemm is found in which chamber of the anterior cavity?

chambers

the subdivision of the anterior cavity is classified as what?

choroid

the vitreous body holds the retina against what?

the eyeball from collapsing

the vitreous body prevents what?

helps maintain the intranocular pressure of the eyeball and supplies nutrients to the lens and cornea

what are the two primary functions of the aqueous humor?

diabetic retinopathy

what can causes increase number of blood vessels and rupturing of blood vessels over the retina?

when fluid accumulates in the anterior cavity

what causes intraocular pressure of the eyeball to rise?

posterior cavity

what contains the vitreous body?

lens

what divides the eyeball into an anterior and posterior cavity?

the posterior and anterior cavity, and the posterior chamber
