No, they are two different sections
The vitreous humor is thicker and more gel-like compared to the aqueous humor. The vitreous humor helps maintain the shape of the eye and provides support to the retina, while the aqueous humor helps nourish the cornea and lens.
It is called the vitreous humor. The word humor here has nothing to do with comedy. The word can mean 'body fluid', from the Latin for body fluid, 'umor'.

The vitreous humor helps keep the retina in place
The vitreous body is the entire gel-like substance that fills the back of the eye, while the vitreous humor is the clear, jelly-like fluid within the vitreous body.
Not immediately, but eventually yes the fluid will leech out of the eye. There are actually three different fluids associated with the eye - the tears on the corneal surface, the aqueous humor and the vitreous humor. The tears on the outside surface will dry up within a few hours of death. The aqueous humor will stay around for a few days, but will leech out faster if the globe of the eye is pierced or bacteria or pests get into the eye. The vitreous humor will stay around the longest, as it is more of a gel than a liquid during life. However, after a couple of weeks, even the vitreous humor will dissolve and dissipate as part of the decomposition process.
Cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor
Vitreous humor is the fluid in the eye.
No, the vitreous humor does not regenerate itself once it is removed in a vitrectomy. The eye typically fills with a saline solution or gas bubble after the vitreous humor is removed to help maintain its shape.
The vitreous humor fills the space between the retina and lens while the aqueous humor is located between the lens and the cornea.The vitreous humor has more nutritive value when the aqueous humor is low in nutritive value.
