The ciliary body is a ring-shaped thickening of tissue inside the eye that divides the posterior chamber from the vitreous body.

The aqueous humor ...
The vitreous body (vitreous meaning "glass-like"; from Latin vitreus ' glassy ', from vitrum ' glass ' and -eus) is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball (the vitreous chamber) in humans and other vertebrates.
