The substance that fills the vitreous body of the eye behind the lens is vitreous?

There are two different types of humorous substances between the lens and the retina. Directly behind the lens is the aqueous humor which is like a small gel filled sack that the lens rests on. Behind the aqueous humor is the vitreous humor which is the larger of the two. The lens and the aqueous humor rest on the vitreous humor. Good Luck!! James

Is the anterior chamber of the eye filled with vitreous humor?

Assuming your talking about the eye...it would be the aqueous humor. The aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary processes in the ciliary body. It flows from the ciliary body into the anterior chamber. It travels out through the trabecular meshwork and into the Canal of Schlemm. It is then delivered to the bloodstream via anterior ciliary veins.
