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 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 ...
Within the vertebrate eye, there are considered to be three chambers: anterior, posterior, and vitreous. The eye can also be classified as having two cavities: anterior and posterior. Both the anterior and posterior chambers are located within the anterior cavity, while the vitreous chamber is located in the posterior cavity. The best way to ...
The visual system is the physiological basis of visual perception (the ability to detect and process light).The system detects, transduces and interprets information concerning light within the visible range to construct an image and build a mental model of the surrounding environment.
Posterior horn of lateral ventricle in the brain, which passes forward, laterally and slightly downward, from the corpus callosum into the occipital lobe Posterior horn of spinal cord , the dorsal (towards the back) grey matter section of the spinal cord that receives several types of sensory information from the body including light touch ...
An eye examination, commonly known as an eye test, [1] is a series of tests performed to assess vision and ability to focus on and discern objects. [2] It also includes other tests and examinations of the eyes. [3] Eye examinations are primarily performed by an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or an orthoptist.
The pars plana (also known as orbicularis ciliaris [1]) (Latin: flat portion) is part of the ciliary body in the uvea (or vascular tunic, the middle layer of the three layers that comprise the eye). It is about 4 mm long, located near the junction of the iris and sclera , and is scalloped in appearance.
The corneal endothelium is a single layer of endothelial cells on the inner surface of the cornea.It faces the chamber formed between the cornea and the iris. The corneal endothelium are specialized, flattened, mitochondria-rich cells that line the posterior surface of the cornea and face the anterior chamber of the eye.
