|
thin layer of mucous membrane lining the inner surface of each eyelid, moves over the eyeball as a protective cover
|
conjunctiva
|
|
convex, transparent coating of the eye (made up of collagen-rich epithelial cells) which covers the pupil and iris. Tears that flow over it and aqueous humor in the chamber behind it keep it nourished. It allows the light to enter the eyeball. When you hear of eye banks and eye transplants, it is this being replaced
|
Cornea
|
|
area at the center of the retina where cone cells are concentrated and there are no rod cells; “blind spot.”
|
fovea centralis
|
|
This is the colored part of the eye. It is a ring of muscle fibers located behind the cornea and in front of the lens. It contracts and expands opening and closing the pupil in response to the brightness of surrounding light helping to protect the sensitive retina.
|
iris
|
|
pressure of the eye, regulated by resistance to the flow of aqueous humor through a fine sieve-like trabecular meshwork (eye’s drainage system); the older the person, the more likely it is that the trabecular meshwork becomes hardened and obstructed, preventing the normal flow of aqueous humor from passing out at the proper rate and causing an increase in this
|
intraocular pressure
|
|
a transparent, colorless, firm structure of the eye, enclosed in a capsule, located between the iris and the vitreous humor; refracts light to focus images onto the retina at the back of the eye; in old age the lens becomes flattened, more dense, slightly opaque, and amber-tinted.
|
lens
|
|
an oval yellow spot at the center of the retina, near the optic nerve; around fovea (blind spot); region of retina richest in photoreceptors; contains a pit, fovea centralis, and has no blood vessels; central vision occurs when an image is focused directly on the fovea centralis.
|
macula lutea
|
|
the “hole” or circular opening in the iris through which light passes to the lens and the retina; located slightly to the nasal side of the center of the iris; lies behind the anterior chamber of the eye and the cornea and in front of the lens; diameter changes with contraction and relaxation of the muscular fibers of the iris as the eye responds to changes in light, emotional states and other kinds of stimulation.
|
pupil
|
|
a ten-layered, delicate, membrane of light-sensitive nervous tissue at the back of the eye. It contains photoreceptors (rods and cones) and the neurons which transmit visual impulses from sensory cells through the optic nerve to the brain. The sides of this are responsible for our peripheral vision while the center area, called the macula, is used for our fine central vision and color vision.
