100
Dark central opening of the eye where light rays enter.
What is Pupil
100
Area behind the cornea and in front of the lens and iris. Contains aqueous humor.
What is Anterior Chamber
100

special neurons in the retina of the eye with two opposite extensions from the cell body--they help impulses pass between the layers of the retina.

What are bipolar cells

100
Photo receptor cell in the retina that into transforms light energy into a nerve impulse, essential for color vision.
What is Cones
100
Photo receptor cell of the retina essential for vision in dim light and for peripheral vision.
What is Rods
200
Pigmented layer that opens and closes to allow more or less light into the eye.
What is Iris
200
Transparent biconvex body behind the pupil of the eye.
What is Lens
200

Region at the back of the eye where the optic nerve meets the retina. Called the blind spot

What is Lacrimal ducts

200
Normal adjustment of the eye to focus on objects from far to near.
What is Accomodation
300
Delicate membrane lining the under surface of the eyelids and covering the anterior eyeball.
What is Conjunctiva
300

This is a small divot/pit on the posterior INSIDE of the eye.  Found near the center of the retina.  Contains mostly cones and is responsible for sharp vision

What is the Fovea

300
Cranial nerve carrying impulses from the retina to the brain
What is Optic Nerve
300

Optic nerves from each retina merge inside the brain and cross to form the ______

What is Optic Chiasm

300

swelling and infection of the conjunctiva

What is conjunctivits

400
Fibrous transparent layer of clear tissue that extends over the anterior portion of the eyeball.
What is Cornea
400

Muscles that contract and relax to change the shape of the LENS

What is Ciliary Body/Muscles

400
Light sensitive nerve cell layer of the eye containing photo receptor cells.
What is Retina
400

Explain the Pupil.  What is it exactly?

What is a hole in the iris 

400

The injury that often occurs when a sharp or irritating object enter the eye

What is a corneal abrasion

500
Tough white outer coat of the eyeball.
What is Sclera
500
Middle vascular layer of the eye between the retina and the sclera.
What is Choroid
500
Soft jelly-like material behind the lens and helps maintain the shape of the eyeball.
What is Vitreous Humor
500

a unique vascular structure helps with fluid homeostasis by draining aqueous humor from the eye into the systemic circulation.

Canal of Schlemm

500

The correct name for eyeballs coming out of their sockets

What is Globe Luxation
