What is the correct direction of aqueous humor flow?
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.
Why is Adelaide Australia 13.5 hours behind Philadelphia Pennsylvania and where does the extra 30 minutes come from if every time zone is exactly 1 hour apart?
sometimes local time zones are stretched for various reasons, according to my calculations the two cities are 213.76 degrees apart (longitude) giving an actual time difference of 14.25 hours.
What does ciliary body do?
The ciliary body is behind the iris in the human eye. Tiny cilia (fibers) called zonules attach the ciliary body to the eye's lens. When focusing on close objects, the ciliary body contracts and the zonules relax, allowing the lens to thicken and improve the focus. When looking at a distant object, the ciliary body relaxes and the zonules contract, making the lens thinner for sharper distance vision.

The oropharynx is located behind the mouth. It stretched from the Uvula to the hyoid bone. It is located between the nasopharynix and the lyarnogpharynix.
What is the function of ciliary muscles?
The function of ciliary muscles is it controls the accomodation for viewing objects at varying distances and regulates the flow of aqueous humour into Schelm's canal. It changes the shape of the lens within the eye, not the size of the pupil which is carried out by the sphincter pupillae muscle. The muscle has parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation.
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.
