Is the structure that maintains the shape of the eye and protects the delicate inner tissues?

Answer 1

1) Conjunctiva [It helps lubricate the eye by producing mucus and tears. It also helps to prevent the entrance of microbes into the eye.]

2) Cornea [It helps to shield the rest of the eye from germs, dust, and other harmful matter. The eye socket, tears, and the Sclera or white part of the eye. This is a tough, clear covering that keeps objects from entering the pupil.]

3) Iris [It separates the anterior and posterior chambers of the eyeball and is perforated in the center by the pupil. This is the colored part of the eye that controls how much light enters the eye.]

4) Pupil [It regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. This is the hole that lets light enter the inner eye.]

5) Lens [The lens bends the light rays to focus them on the retina. This is a clear, flexible structure that focuses light onto the back of the eyeball.]

6) Vitreous [helps keep the retina in place.]

7) Optic Nerve [It transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.]

8) Retina [The retina receives the image seen through your eye, only in reverse up to down. It transmits this image through the optical nerve and your brain returns the inverted image to its correct right side up. This is a layer of light sensitive cells made up of rods and cones.]

Answer 2

The cornea is the outer layer of the eye. This is the part of the eye that protects and holds the eye's shape.

Answer 3

The vitreous humor supports the inner parts of the eye. It keeps the retina in place.
