The eye is divided into three main spaces, or chambers. The largest is the vitreous chamber, filled with the amorphous and somewhat gelatinous material of the vitreous body. The other two, the anterior and posterior, chambers are filled with aqueous humor.

What are the chambers in the eye?

There is an anterior chamber and a posterior chamber to the eye. The anterior chamber is from the lens and iris forward to the back of the cornea. The posterior chamber is from the back of the lens to the retina. The anterior chamber is filled with aqueous. The posterior chamber is filled with vitreous.


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.


Posterior and anterior chambers of the eye?

The anterior chamber is the space between the cornea and the iris, filled with aqueous humor. The posterior chamber is the space between the iris and the lens, also filled with aqueous humor. Both chambers help maintain the shape of the eye and provide important nutrients to the surrounding tissues.
