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.

Fluid in the anterior chamber of the eye?

The fluid in the anterior chamber of the eye is called aqueous humor. It is a clear, watery fluid that is continually produced by the ciliary body and circulates through the anterior chamber before draining out through the trabecular meshwork. Aqueous humor helps maintain intraocular pressure, provides nutrients to the avascular structures of the eye, and removes metabolic waste products. Imbalances in aqueous humor production or drainage can lead to conditions such as glaucoma.


A structure that drains the aqueous humor is the?

A structure that drains the aqueous humor is the trabecular meshwork located in the eye's anterior chamber. This network of tissue helps regulate the flow of aqueous humor out of the eye to maintain proper intraocular pressure.

When using the left hand rule for generator the thumb point in what dierction?

There is no left handed rule. The correct term is right handed rule. Using the right handed rule, your thumb is pointing in the direction of current flow, and your fingers are pointing in the direction of magnetic flux flow.


Can an electric current flow through a basic aqueous solution?

Yes, an electric current can flow through a basic aqueous solution because water can act as an electrolyte and conduct electricity when dissolved in basic substances such as NaOH or KOH, promoting the flow of charged particles (ions) through the solution.
