- maintains the intraocular pressure and inflates the globe of the eye.
- Provides nutrition (e.g. amino acids and glucose) for the avascular ocular tissues; posterior cornea, trabecular meshwork, lens, and anterior vitreous.
- May serve to transport ascorbate in the anterior segment to act as an anti-oxidant agent.
- Presence of immunoglobulins indicate a role in immune response to defend against pathogens.
- Provides inflation for expansion of the cornea and thus increased protection against dust, wind, pollen grains and some pathogens.
- for refractive index.

What nourishes the lens and cornea?
Aqueous Humor
What is the transparent fluid between cornea and lens?
The aqueous humour. The vitreous humour supplies the region from the lens to the retina.
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.
Where was the aqueous humor in a dissected eye?
in front of the lens and behind the cornea
Fluid in the anterior chamber of the eye?
in the anterior cavity there is a jelly-like substance called aqueous humor and in the posterior cavity there is also a viscous, jelly-like substance that is called the vitreous humor, which is also the actual point of attachment for the lens of your eye.

Aqueous Humor
What is function of the ora serrata?
Secretes aqueous humor to provide nutrients to the internal structures of the eye.
What is the transparent fluid between cornea and lens?
The aqueous humour. The vitreous humour supplies the region from the lens to the retina.
Which is thicker aqueous humor and vitreous humor?
vitreous humor
How are the vitreous humor and the aqueous humor different?
The vitreous humor fills the space between the retina and lens while the aqueous humor is located between the lens and the cornea.The vitreous humor has more nutritive value when the aqueous humor is low in nutritive value.
What correctly lists the parts through which light passes as it enters the eye?
Cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor

What is a sentence with aqueous humor?
Aqueous humor is not to be confused with vitreous humor.I thought 'aqueous humor' meant something that was so funny that it would make tears run down my face!No, aqueous humor is a clear, gelatinous fluid found in the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye, between the cornea and the lens.Oh, so an optic surgeon might tell their surgical nurse to beware the aqueous humor during a particular procedure.

What is the function of the ciliary body?
Consists of ciliary processes which capillaries secrete aqueous humor and ciliary muscle which changes the shape of lens for viewing objects in different distances.
How is the aqueous humor situated to the lens?
distal
