How does glaucoma work?
Glaucoma is usually associated with an increase in the pressure inside the eye. This increase occurs in front of the iris in a fluid called the aqueous humor.
When too much aqueous humor is produced and fluid pressure builds up in the eyeball's the condition is called?
When too much aqueous humor is produced and fluid pressure builds up in the eyeball, the condition is called
Will an increase in capillary pressure shift fluid into the capillaries?
An increase in capillary pressure will shift fluid into or out of the capillaries
When too much aqueous humor is produced and fluid pressure builds up in the eyeball?

What is elevated in glaucoma?
Inside human eye there is fluid called aqueous humor fluid which is secreted continuously and also drained continuously to outside the eye. Sometime to known and unknown causes, the drainage will be blocked or the secretion will increase or both causing the intraocular pressure of the aqueous humor high, leading to glaucoma
When you exert force on a fluid in a closed container does the pressure increase decrease or remain constant?
The pressure increases.
Is a fluid compressable?
A fluid which is reduced in volume by an increase in pressure.
What happens to a fluid when its temperature increase?
its pressure increases
What happens when to fluid when its temperature increase?
its pressure increases
What is the transparent fluid between cornea and lens?
The aqueous humour. The vitreous humour supplies the region from the lens to the retina.
What is compressible fluids?
A fluid which is reduced in volume by an increase in pressure.
Explain why fluid pressure varies with depth in a liquid and a gas?
Because the mass of the fluid column increase.
