How many layers of material does a cow's cornea have?
7-8 layers
Identify the concentric layers of the eyeball that are its primary structure?
The concentric layers are the sclera,conjunctiva,and the cornea
What are eye layers called?
The layers of the eye include the cornea, the sclera, the choroid, the retina, and the optic nerve. Each layer has a specific function in the process of vision.

How many layers are there in the forest?
There are four layers in a rain forest
What are the four light bending media of the eye?
cornea, lens, aqueous humor, vitreous humor
Why is the cornea clear?
The cornea becomes cloudy when water leaks through the epithelial or endothelial cell layers. This can be caused by a corneal ulcer or deep scratch on the outer surface, or by glaucoma or infection within the eye. If the damage is to the outer layers of the cornea, removing the cause of the defect and allowing the cornea to heal will result in the cloudiness going away. If the damage is to the inside layer (the endothelium), you will probably need a corneal transplant to allow you to see again.
What is the cornea made of?
The cornea is mostly made of collagen fibers. Collagen fibers are the most abundant type of connective tissue in animals. As well as being found in the human cornea, collagen is found in the tendons of muscles and skin.
What are the structures and fluids through which light passes as it travels from the cornea to the retina?
Light travels through the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous humor, and finally reaches the retina in the eye. These structures and fluids help focus and transmit light onto the photoreceptor cells in the retina for visual processing.
What portion of the eye is modified during lasik surgery?
LASIK surgery modifies the corneal stroma to change the refractive error of the eye. The cornea has five layers, the stroma being the structural layer of the cornea or front clear window of the eye. The outer covering is the epithelium, or skin of the eye which is over a thickened portion of the stroma called Bowman's layer which is very thin. Beneath these layers is the stroma which makes up most of the cornea by mass. LASIK is usually confined to the outer portion of the stroma. The inner layers are Descemet's membrane, and finally the endothelium which is the active layer between the cornea and the liquid aqueous layer of the anterior chamber.The cornea is about 500-600 microns thick, or about a half a millimeter. On average, less than 100 microns of tissue is removed during LASIK, or less than 20% of the corneal thickness which has little effect on corneal function, but a dramatic effect on vision.
Which variable is used to separate the atmosphere into four layers?
The variable that is used to separate the atmosphere into four layers is temperature. The four layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere, and each layer is defined by changes in temperature with altitude.
What to do when the cornea is shattered?
Cornea transplant
