What is the avascular, transparent, anterior portion of the fibrous tunic of the eye?

What is the white of the eye?

What is the middle layer of the eye wall?

What region of the vascular tunic is posterior and is the most extensive and houses a vast network of capillaries to supply the retina?

What portion of the vascular tunic of the eye is a muscular ring that works to focus images on the retina?

What portion of the vascular tunic of the eye is the most anterior and is what we commonly refer to when we speak of the color of the eye?

What is the opening within the iris?

What layer of the eye contains photoreceptors?

What posterior portion of the eye do neurons extend through and form a round structure frequently referred to as the blind spot?

What rounded, yellowish region has a concentration of cones and lies lateral to the optic disc?

What is the area of sharpest vision on the retina?

What is the strong, deformable, transparent structure of the eye that focuses images on the retina?

What dense, elastic structure bounds the lens of the eye?

What structures attach to the lens capsule at its periphery where they transmit tension to change the shape of the lens?

What structure of the eye changes the shape of the lens?

The lens divides the interior of the eye into two spaces. What are these?

The iris divides the anterior cavity of the eye into two spaces. What are they?

What fluid fills lies between the lens and the cornea of the eye?

What structure forms aqueous humor?

What structure reabsorbs aqueous humor?

What gelatinous matter fills the posterior cavity of the eye?
