Eye Anatomy and Function - Made Easy (in this video I have explained eye structures/parts of eye/eyeball and it's function
Anterior chamber: The region of the eye between the cornea and the lens that contains aqueous humor.
Aqueous humor: The fluid produced in the eye.
Bruch's membrane: Located in the retina between the choroid and the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) layer; provides support to the retina and functions as the 'basement' membrane of the RPE layer.
Ciliary body: Part of the eye, above the lens, that produces the aqueous humor.
Choroid: Layer of the eye behind the retina, contains blood vessels that nourish the retina.
Cones: The photoreceptor nerve cells present in the macula and concentrated in the fovea (the very center of the macula); enable people to see fine detail and color.
Cornea: The outer, transparent structure at the front of the eye that covers the iris, pupil and anterior chamber; it is the eye's primary light-focusing structure.
Drusen: Deposits of yellowish extra cellular waste products that accumulate within and beneath the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) layer.
Fovea: The pit or depression at the center of the macula that provides the greatest visual acuity.
Iris: The colored ring of tissue behind the cornea that regulates the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil.
Lens: The transparent structure suspended behind the iris that helps to focus light on the retina; it primarly provides a fine-tuning adjustment to the primary focusing structure of the eye, which is the cornea.
Macula: The portion of the eye at the center of the retina that processes sharp, clear straight-ahead vision.
Optic nerve: The bundle of nerve fibers at the back of the eye that carry visual messages from the retina to the brain.
Photoreceptors: The light sensing nerve cells (rods and cones) located in the retina.
Pupil: The adjustable opening at the center of the iris through which light enters the eye.
Retina: The light sensitive layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye.
Retinal Pigmented Epithelium (RPE): A layer of cells that protects and nourishes the retina, removes waste products, prevents new blood vessel growth into the retinal layer and absorbs light not absorbed by the photoreceptor cells; these actions prevent the scattering of the light and enhance clarity of vision.
Rods: Photoreceptor nerve cells in the eyes that are sensitive to low light levels and are present in the retina, but outside the macula.
Sclera: The tough outer coat that protects the entire eyeball.
Trabecular meshwork: Spongy tissue located near the cornea through which aqueous humor flows out of the eye.
Vitreous: Clear jelly-like substance that fills the eye from the lens to the back of the eye.
