Best Answer

The flow of the aqueous humor flows in the following manner:

1) Ciliary body --> Posterior Chamber

2) Posterior Chamber --> Anterior Chamber

3) Anterior chamber --> Canal of Schlemm

Aqueous humour is produced behind the iris by the ciliary body. It flows through the pupil and drains away at the angle between the cornea and iris (the drainage angle).

Within the drainage angle, the aqueous humour passes through a porous tissue - the trabecular meshwork - into a collector channel (Schlemm's canal), which empties into veins under the conjunctiva and thus back into the bloodstream.

Most of the aqueous humour leaves the eye through the trabecular meshwork. This is called the conventional outflow pathway.

There is however another "pathway" if you wish;

some aqueous humour also leaves the eye through the ciliary body. This is called the uveo-scleral or non-conventional outflow pathway.

Axial flow turbomachines?

These are machines dealing with fluids, like (Axial Compressors, pumps and Fans). the term "Axial" is given due to the direction of inward and outward flow. In axial turbo machines the direction of outward flow is the same as the direction of the inward flow since the blades of the machines doesn't change the direction of flow.


Can you install a diode to allow 24 volts AC to flow in one direction but not allow the flow of 24 volts AC to flow in the opposite direction?

Diodes convert AC into DC by allowing current flow in one direction only. Since AC is alternating between plus and minus it is not possible to use a diode to allow AC to flow in one direction and not in the other direction.
