1includes the choroid coat, ciliary body, and iris.
middle/vascular tunic
2is vascular and darkly pigmented and performs two functions: to nourish other tissues of the eye and to keep the inside of the eye dark.
choroid coat
3forms a ring around the front of the eye and contains ciliary muscles and suspensory ligaments that hold the lens in position and change its shape (focus).
ciliary body
4The ability of the lens to adjust shape to facilitate focusing is called
accomodation
5is a thin, smooth muscle that adjusts the amount of light entering the pupil, a hole in its center
iris
6between the cornea and iris
anterior chamber
7between the iris and vitreous body and housing the lens
posterior chamber
8anterior and posterior chamber make up the anterior cavity, which is filled with
aqueous humor
9circulates from one chamber to the other through the pupil.
aqueous humor
10covers the back side of the eye to the ciliary body.
inner tunic
11The inner tunic consists of the _, which contains photoreceptors
retina
12the point of sharpest vision in the retina.
fovea centralis
13where nerve fibers leave the eye and where there is a blind spot.
optic disk
14The large cavity of the eye is filled with
vitreous humor
15Light waves must bend to be focused, a phenomenon called
refraction
