The fluid fills the inside of body cavities. Serous fluid originates from serous glands, with ...
Posterior segment of eyeball. The posterior segment or posterior cavity [1] is the back two-thirds of the eye that includes the anterior hyaloid membrane and all of the optical structures behind it: the vitreous humor, retina, choroid, and optic nerve. [2] The portion of the posterior segment visible during ophthalmoscopy (or fundoscopy) is ...
Uvea with 14. Iris, 15. Ciliary body. The anterior segment or anterior cavity[ 1] is the front third of the eye that includes the structures in front of the vitreous humour: the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. [ 2][ 3] Within the anterior segment are two fluid-filled spaces: the anterior chamber between the posterior surface of the cornea ...
The choroid, also known as the choroideaor choroid coat, is a part of the uvea, the vascularlayer of the eye. It contains connective tissues, and lies between the retinaand the sclera. The human choroid is thickest at the far extreme rear of the eye (at 0.2 mm), while in the outlying areas it narrows to 0.1 mm.[1]The choroid provides oxygenand ...
Diagram of eye with surrounding superior, oblique, medial and inferior rectus muscles; supraorbital foramen shown above the eye, and inferior orbital fissure inferolaterally. In anatomy, the orbit is the cavity or socket/hole of the skull in which the eye and its appendages are situated. "Orbit" can refer to the bony socket, [1] or it can also ...
The posterior chamber consists of small space directly posterior to the iris but anterior to the lens. The posterior chamber is part of the anterior segment[1]and should not be confused with the vitreous chamber(in the posterior segment). Posterior chamber is an important structure involved in production and circulation of aqueous humor.
The human eye is a sensory organ in the visual system that reacts to visible light allowing eyesight. Other functions include maintaining the circadian rhythm, and keeping balance . Arizona Eye Model. "A" is accommodation in diopters. The eye can be considered as a living optical device. It is approximately spherical in shape, with its outer ...
Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [ edit on Wikidata] The ophthalmic nerve ( CN V1) is a sensory nerve of the head. It is one of three divisions of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), a cranial nerve. It has three major branches which provide sensory innervation to the eye, and the skin of the upper face and anterior scalp, as well as other structures ...
