Lens.
Vitreous,
Aqueous humor.
CORNEA
Functions:
refraction
eye protection
The muscles:
the sphincter pupillae is located in
the pupillary zone
the dilator pupillae is located in
iris root
CILIARY BODY
A ring of tissue
about 6 mm wide
The functions:
the accommodation
aqueous humor
production
Two parts:
the pars plicata
the pars plana
CILIARY BODY
Structure:
stroma (the blood
vessel layer)
the ciliary muscle
the pigmented
epithelium
the nonpigmented
epithelium
CHOROID
The function is to provide a
blood supple to the retinal
pigment epithelium and outer
layers of the sensory retina
Structure:
the suprachoroid
the large vessel layer
the middle vessel layer
the choriocapillaris
the lamina basalis choroideae
(Bruch membrane)
RETINA
The retina extends
peripherally from the optic
nerve head to its scalloped
margin (the ora serrata).
The neurons:
the photoreceptors (rods,
cones)
the bipolar cells
the ganglion cells
The horizontal
interconnections are provided
by:
the amacrine cells
the horizontal cells
RETINA
The macula is a central
thinnest region of the
retina (diameter 5,5
mm). Macula is
subdivided into four
zones: foveola, fovea,
parafovea, perifovea.
The optic disk is 1,5 mm
in diameter.
OPTIC NERVE
The regions:
intraocular (0,7мм)
intraorbital
(33мм)
intracanalicular
( 4 –10мм)
intracranial
(10 мм)
CONJUNCTIVA
The conjunctiva is a
mucous membrane
The portions:
the palpebral conjunctiva
the fornix conjunctiva
the bulbar conjunctiva
Structure:
the epithelium ( is nonkeratinized)
the substancia propria (is
composed of connective tissue)
The glands:
the goblet cells
the accessory lacrimal glands of
Krause
LENS
The lens is a
transparent,
biconvex structure.
It is approximately
10 mm in diameter
and 4 mm thick.
The functions:
refraction
accommodation
VITREOUS
volume – 4 ml
BLOOD (VASCULAR) SUPPLY
The branches of
ophthalmic artery:
central retinal artery
lateral posterior ciliary
arteries ( 2 )
medial posterior ciliary
arteries (6- 8)
anterior ciliary arteries (7)
