Parts and functions of the eyes?
ConjunctivaIs a thin protective covering of epithelial cells. It protects the cornea against damage by friction (tears from the tear glands help this process by lubricating the surface of the conjunctiva)CorneaIs the transparent, curved front of the eye which helps to converge the light rays which enter the eyeScleraIs an opaque, fibrous, protective outer structure. It is soft connective tissue, and the spherical shape of the eye is maintained by the pressure of the liquid inside. It provides attachment surfaces for eye musclesChoroidHas a network of blood vessels to supply nutrients to the cells and remove waste products. It is pigmented that makes the retina appear black, thus preventing reflection of light within the eyeball.Ciliary bodyHas suspensory ligaments that hold the lens in place. It secretes the aqueous humour, and contains ciliary muscles that enable the lens to change shape, during accommodation (focusing on near and distant objects)IrisIs a pigmented muscular structure consisting of an inner ring of circular muscle and an outer layer of radial muscle. Its function is to help control the amount of light entering the eye so that:- too much light does not enter the eye which would damage the retina- enough light enters to allow a person to seePupilIs a hole in the middle of the iris where light is allowed to continue its passage. In bright light it is constricted and in dim light it is dilatedLensIs a transparent, flexible, curved structure. Its function is to focus incoming light rays onto the retina using its refractive propertiesRetinaIs a layer of sensory neurones, the key structures being photoreceptors (rod and cone cells) which respond to light. Contains relay neurons and sensory neurons that pass impulses along the optic nerve to the part of the brain that controls visionFovea (yellow spot)A part of the retina that is directly opposite the pupil and contains only cone cells. It is responsible for good visual acuity (good resolution)Blind spotIs where the bundle of sensory fibres form the optic nerve; it contains no light-sensitive receptorsVitreous humourIs a transparent, jelly-like mass located behind the lens. It acts as a 'suspension' for the lens so that the delicate lens is not damaged. It helps to maintain the shape of the posterior chamber of the eyeballAqueous humourHelps to maintain the shape of the anterior chamber of the eyeball

The humors were blood, black bile, yellow bile and phlegm (said Flem, means snot) if you were healthy it meant all your humors were balanced, so...you had an equal amount of each humor.
